This is a collection of images I took of the Tempe Town Lake Fireworks for the Fourth of July celebration this year (2005). None of these images are "simple", but rather composites (like I do lightning) of multiple image to help keep the light balanced. In all but two cases, the foreground was shot 40 minutes earlier to allow detail and texture to show on the bridge, lake and sky. The fireworks, that started almost 1 hour later, were then shot with rather short times (5 seconds mostly) allowing many frames of single bursts. A selection of "nice" looking bursts and pretty foreground were then composited to form a single image.
