Firework Frenzy

Long Exposure-Live Composite Mode Fireworks by Charles Bonham

Long Exposure-Live Composite Mode Fireworks by Charles Bonham

Please practice safe explosions for the Fourth of July weekend! Every year one or two Michiganders lose their lives & many more lose fingers or suffer injury.

Charles took this photo last year at the Bay City Fireworks using the Olympus Live Composite Mode that lets you shoot a series of images using the same exposure time, with each shot only recording new sources of light. Very cool!! See more in his Fireworks gallery on Flickr.
