Fireworks from Draper Pioneer Days Celebration

I love fireworks, they have been magical for ever since I can remember. As I kid I always wanted to be at the park and underneath them. My kids are less excited about loud noises so we watch them from my parents back yard.

As a photographer I find fireworks fascinating because they look so different in camera (can't really say "on film" anymore.....) the streaks and patterns fascinate me. Probably always will!

These are my best 5 from this years show! Yes that is the moon in case you wondered.

Dinner.......

So... desiring to take some kind of photos tonight and wanting to get more practice with my vintage K-28mm f3.5 Manual Focus lens... and being hungry! I decided to mix all that together in an impromptu photo shoot! Here ya go... Dinner.

Toasted with butter

With Jam

A Sunrise and two Deer in a Graveyard.... no REALLY!!

Grabbed this shot on my way to work on Monday, Sigma 10-20 f4-5.6 right in front of the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. I love these cotton ball type clouds. Love love LOVE!

After leaving work I drove past the football stadium and spotted these deer in the graveyard across the street. Hung a quick U-Turn and chased them down. They were really hard to shoot because the insisted on staying in the shadows and moving just as I pressed the trigger.

Momma Deer

The Fawn, he had a twin that was more camera shy.

All in all not a bad day!
