Happy 4th of July everyone!  Such a fun time of the year!  This year is extra-exciting because of getting to spend it withsome extended family.  :).
I don't have my usual photography equipment with me so I won't get to play around with photography too much but will sit back and enjoy watching them (and shooting off some of our own).  Here's a fun silhouette I got from last year's display.  I have lots of photos from throughout the years.. it'd be fun to compile my favorites into a blog post sometime.

Last year, I wrote a blog post on how to capture the movement of a sparkler.. it's a  fun project to try out if you're feeling adventurous.  Post in the comments if you have any questions about how to do this!  I try to buy some long sparklers every year so I can play around with photography capturing movement & also to have on-hand in case someone wants sparklers included in a photo session (usually a wedding).

Enjoy the fireworks everyone!
