After an outdoor concert this weekend, we were treated to fireworks, but since it was a surprise, I wasn't ready with tripod, etc., so most captures failed. I thought these twinkly ones looked like little magical creatures.
For those who liked the shot of turkeys on the beach...imagine our surprise when this same family of turkeys walked across our deck, with the mom looking in the screen door, right at Jim, then turning to amble on into the yard and out of sight! Of course, my camera was not close enough to grab and capture it.
How great! If I hadn't read what you wrote about this, I would have thought you'd added those wonderful little twinkles ETSOOI. It's going in my favorites.
@pflaume Thanks Lisa! I appreciate your comment and your fav. I love this lighthouse and have gone to photograph it several times but haven't liked any of them. It was fun to be able to feature it here.
Beautiful....worked out perfectly!!! They do look like fairies! Nice shot and sounds like fun! Awesome about the curious turkeys too! They were just "checking in" on you!! FAV capture Taffy!
Magic shot Taffy, all those fairies just floating around waiting with wands at the ready. The lighthouse visually counterbalances the sparkly fairies very well. It's a great composition, imaginative and full of interest.
As for the turkeys, what a shame, that must've been a wonderful sight to see. Lucky you.
Wow, you did really well here getting this without a tripod...at .25s! Your composition is fantastic with the inclusion of the lighthouse (even though it shows some camera movement). Beautiful and skilful! Well done!
This could be a magical illustration in a children's book! So very unusual, and pleasing on many fronts--the ghostly lighthouse and the fairies! I like the off-center composition as well.
Instant Fav Taffy!! This is straight out of a fairy tale - pure magic!! I am blown away that you caught these little sparkles amd did not add them later!! Fabulous image - I know where this is headed!!
Yes, they must definitely are fairy lights - or very large fireflies! Really great capture against that awesome lighthouse. Wonderful mood color. Love your story about the turkey family - what a neat experience.
I love this shot and it does look like a bunch of fairies in the sky. Beautifully captured, Taffy. Yep, unless you have your camera attached to you all of the time it is hard to capture all that we see in the moment. FAV

Love the blue sky and lighthouse in the background.
