Fireworks 002
Lime Rock Park offers an unbeatable vantage point for fireworks, surrounded by the quiet hills of Salisbury, Connecticut. During this Fourth of July weekend shoot, the grand finale started rolling with heavy, rapid-fire launches echoing across the infield. Balancing shutter speed to separate intense white-hot explosions from the surrounding smoke requires quick adjustments on the fly.
The composition features a massive white-hot willow burst crowning a dense golden glitter palm shell directly below it. Trailing sparks spread evenly in all directions, illuminating drifting smoke against a midnight blue sky with crisp, sharp detail. Brilliant golden embers fill the frame with warmth, creating high visual contrast that pops cleanly across high-resolution screens.
