I thought I would dust off the camera and attempt something different yesterday for the 4th of July. For a while now I've been seeing some cool time lapse videos on the Internet taken of things like carnival rides at night, balloon rallies, the Milky Way, etc. A firework show seemed like a natural event for my first serious try at this technique and it wasn't too hard to do. I took more than 1,000 shots of the display in Loveland, CO which translated into about a 2 minute movie. More explanation of how I made the video is in the link:

PS: The image above is just an added bonus: a telephoto shot of a small firework above a nearby neighborhood and Mummy Mountain in the far background I took while I was waiting for the bigger show. Enjoy!

Very, very cool, Joshua! I also like the shot here.

Hi Joshua - I think the time-lapse is really cool! Nice work on that.
