“Fire on the mountain…”

Happy Independence Day! I’m so thankful to live here in America, and so thankful for everyone who has sacrificed to keep this nation, and others free.

With freedom comes much responsibility. May we never forget that.

    Happy Fourth to you. Since it was a long weekend I feel as if we have celebrated more this year.

    Your firework photography is excellent. I wouldn't attempt it. Picmonkey emailed tips that were interesting but my brain can just take so much at the time. I'm filing that away for later.
    Have a great day.

      HI Bonnie, it's really easy. I shoot in Manual mode, ISO at 100 (I never change that), then I set the shutter speed slow to at least 4-5 seconds. Once I focus, I shoot, on a tripod, and just let the camera capture what comes up. It's a guessing game, but I always get cool shots. Definitely try it:-)
