Over 50,000 people came to this baseball stadium on July 4th, 2007 to see their home team, the Colorado Rockies, rout the visiting New York Mets 17-7, and also enjoy the traditional Independence Day fireworks display. Photographing explosions in the might sky is never an easy task – particularly with cameras that have a bit of shutter lag. I had to make dozens of images to get just one evocative pattern of sky bursts. I used the “multiple exposure” control on my small wideangle pocket camera to make this shot – I held the shutter-release down as the rocket was fired and the camera continued to make exposures at the rate of twice each second. There are several explosions visible in this single image. They are transparently layered within each other, giving the viewer a vivid impression of the beauty and energy of a fireworks display. The only thing missing is the concussive sound of the multiple explosions – but this picture can readily stir the mind to imagine them. The stadium scoreboard at lower left is topped with the logo of the home team – the Colorado Rockies. It offered me specific context for this image, as well as a stable target for spot-metering my exposure and focusing.
