The party's over
I'm sure you've probably had your fill of the holiday celebration photos by now but indulge me just this once while I cry. This is the end of my long weekend and it's back to work tomorrow. Woe is me. Last night we were out in the backyard and I stuck some sparklers in the ground to take pictures of. I thought this one looked pretty cool
Wow, great photo, Ann! :) I love it, I can never get fireworks pic to come out right with my lil point n shoot hehe
ReplyDeleteTanyia me neither. Sparklers are easy you don't have to worry about timing it right. You do need to use a tripod though.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great shot... I like the crisp contrast.
ReplyDeleteWay cool. You did a very good job with this photo. We watched the neighbors do their fireworks last night. Some had a really nice, expensive bunch of fireworks. I liked the price...nothing.
ReplyDeleteHave a terrific day. My best to Duke. :)
You really rock with that camera!! We missed to city fireworks show..which was held on Saturday evening instead of the 4th of July! So, thanks for the sparklers :)
ReplyDeleteOnce again, great picture! Sparklers are a lot of fun.
ReplyDeleteMy wife is feeling the same way and doesn't want to go back to work tomorrow, either.
Its been a long long time I played with this. Lovely sparkles!
ReplyDeleteVery, very cool photo! I love sparklers and I love this shot!
ReplyDeleteThat's a fabulous photo! We like sparklers - they don't go bang!
ReplyDeleteVery cool photo you captured! I have picture taking envy. :)
ReplyDeletethat's a great photo...I am terrible at night shots like this but this is a very good idea...maybe I'll give it a go in November!!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot, Ann! You amaze me!
ReplyDeleteWell at least sparklers are relatively quiet ..... my puss is not a great fireworks fan! There were none over hear at least within hearing distance but then we often hear load thunderclaps of fireworks for all the various religious celebrations. These seem to range right throughout the year. So I suppose we should all thank the Chinese for this very early invention!!
ReplyDeleteI hope that you enjoyed your celebrations ....
It's terrific - and so amazingly crisp! I was kicking myself the other night because I didn't even think to take my camera outside with me to the pasture (I wanted to see how it did shooting pictures of the fireworks). Guess I'll just have to wait until next year *sigh*.
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I love the fireworks! You truly had a wonderful holiday!
ReplyDeleteI am off to work this evening. I'm back now to the night shift. That's my life! Whew!
Nice picture. Thanks for the fireworks. They had them over here on Thursday night for some reason.
ReplyDeleteFun shot,remarkable how the sparks made stars.Never lit mine off,maybe do a mass lighting and shoot away.
ReplyDeleteCool is the right word! Wonderful picture.
ReplyDeleteI can pat your shoulder while you cry. The end of holidays are always sad. Hopefully there's another soon for you in the US. {Hugs}
Outstanding sparkler shots. I remember when we were young, each 4th we would set off sparklers among other fireworks in our back yard. It wasn't banned at that time.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean to say that there is not a party going on at your house everyday?
ReplyDeleteOK, I'm gonna leave my comment AGAIN.
ReplyDeleteI loved that photo - it's like it happening right now, right here, just the way I remember them.
Ugh, I hate the going-back-to-work day. It just hurts so to have that alarm going off in the wee hours!!
ReplyDeleteLovely photo, Ann.
Sharkbytes, thanks, I took several and this one by far was the best
ReplyDeleteSandee ah yes, nothing is always the right price for me too
Roschelle I didn't get to see any big displays either. Just the one a neighbor of mine does. Not impressive but it'll do
Tahtimbo, Well I'll be crying right along with your wife then
Vanilla seven I haven't played with them in a while myself. it was fun
LDH I always loved them when I was a kid, I don't know why I haven't been doing this all along
beaded tail flash and no bang is much more fun :)
urban cowboy thank you, i know the feeling on the picture envy, I still have it when I see awesome pictures.
allotments4you i'm not very good at night shots either. A tripod is a must
duni thank you very much
kloggers/polly aw your poor cat. we don't really have that many times during the year when fireworks are going off
Jen sounds like something I would do with forgetting to take the camera.
JuneZach it was a nice holiday. I used to work nights and I hated it. I'm very glad I don't any more
Russ I hate it when they do stuff on weird nights. I always miss the fireworks because I expect them to be on the holiday and they usually do them on a different day
out on the prairie yeah I like the little stars. I only did four because it took too long for me to get them lit and by the time I got the 4th one the first was burning way down.
Kelly thanks for the compliment and the pat on the shoulder. I needed that going back to work today :)
poetic shutterbug thank you. we always had sparklers to play with on the 4th too. it was so much fun.
I think sparklers are one of the few things that are still legal around here
fishhawk believe it or not we are actually very boring people :)
grace takes you back a bit doesn't it :)
Lin it was very painful when that alarm went off this morning. Even more so because I had to get up and Wade didn't . He has the whole week off. NOT FAIR
Love it! Just simple sparklers and they look great.
