In a child's eye

Mt.Airy is 15 minutes from the house and they had their fireworks tonight. Went for a spectator view tonight. Set my tripod up as low as it would go extending no legs and put my wide angle lens on. I finally got the shots I wanted during the finale. This little boy stood up and gave me the silhouette I wanted. Didn't realize till I got home and went through the pictures that I had a pretty close shot of the vision in my head. I had two shots that I really liked so the other is in my extra album.

Another late night but hey it was worth it. Thanks for stopping by and taking a look .
Very well done. I love the child giving it some life and feeling.

I just love it with the boy's silhouette! It really distinguishes it from other similar shots. Wow!

Wonderful perspective. Can you tell me what sort of settings you used to get the extended movement of the firework flares? You've done a beautiful job of it. Fav.

@khawbecker okay I just went back and looked at my shots in lightroom. I got 4 shots off in a matter of seconds and this was the last. I was using my cable release shutter on bulb and it was the finale so I knew to be fast (press release ,close release,press release, close release) not to blow out the shots. Guess I got lucky and this must be the very end of this particular firework before it fades. First 3 shots no tails this firework if that makes any sense. If not the finale where there is a pause in between fireworks I open the shutter as it goes up and close it when it fades that gives me the movement . I only brought the highlights and shadows down a little in lightroom so it wasn't so bright. Exif on right side shows settings of camera.
