Lets try another blog post

So, after the big smoke season here in Florida I've been trying to shoot, up until just recently i couldn't come up with anything.I tried the hdr stuff that was cool but just wasn't what i wanted. The 4th of July came, nothing like fireworks to break the inspiration block. Nothing like taking firework images, it's all abstract and light that goes boom. So what do you do when the inspiration tank is dry?. I find that i have to back off, forcing it leads to bad images! I actually dusted off illustrator and did some stuff there, that's that part of my education that i don't use so out pops the for dummies and classroom in a book. But when the 4th got here well it was on! Here in the nations oldest you have to show up 3 hrs earlier than show time just to get a parking place, that's cool, go get something to eat then go get your spot. Mine is a spot that nobody wants, but it's great for fireworks on the bay front. Then sit around for 2 hrs waiting for launch and then 30 minutes of shooting, f8 4 seconds 200 mils the first 2 are focus shots and then the rest is just hooting and hollering listening to the 1812 and grooving on the colors.  Then 2 hrs waiting for traffic to clear. I ran out of biz cards talking to folks in the parking lot, getting re hydrated. It's hot in fl! And humid as well, but it's the 4th, and I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!
here are some of the images i made.

 thanks for reading! lets go shoot!!
