July 4th Fireworks

Last night, we went down to Wilmington, NC and enjoyed the Independence Day fireworks at the USS North Carolina. Our location was down on the old wharf. With all the people milling about, I had to setup my camera on a large pylon, just behind the remnants of an old building. I think it added a neat effect to the exploding fireworks. What do you think of the July 4th fireworks?

Let There Be Light...

I'm not into pink, but... a lot of my floral shots, of late, have involved pink flowers. Technically speaking, this isn't one of the best. However, my eye is always drawn to the center of the flower where light seems to be emanating from below. Also... notice the little specs of pollen on the petals. WOW!
