The 4th of July in my neighborhood is pretty much the only time where we all congregate in one spot. We all go outside because everyone who buys fireworks buys at least half illegal ones--which are certainly awesome and loud, but we prefer our roofs in the 'not on fire' phase. This year I got some good shots--these were all long exposure, but no colors have been changed. Some fill lighting and contrast have been applied, and I'm far too proud as usual of my work. F'ing sinner.
