my kind of fireworks *
by Harry Behret

Thanks for all the kind comments. It was fun combining my two passions, photography & BBQ. In response to the questions on how I got the clear focus I gotta say it was persistence. I took many, many shots at different angles and settings. I had problems trying to focus due to the smoke and heat. This was the only shot I liked out of the bunch after some moderate cropping and some extreme sharpening.

Sony Cybershot
1/15s f/4.0 at 23.2mm iso100 full exif

I really like this one. Two weeks ago I tried to make a similar picture but all of my attempts were out of focus. So I guess I was not persistant enough.

Great light and sharpness, Harry. Looks like it might have been a bit hot for you trying to capture this! Helen

This is a really fun interpretation of the theme, Harry. I like how you captured all stages, black charcoal, white ash, glowing heat...all with clarity to point I can feel it. Kudo's. Michael Puff
