"Smoke of a Distant Fire(work)"
Raleigh, NC - December 2008 (Click to embiggen)
Hosted by Written Inc.By now, I think everybody in Blogaritaville knows my fondness for shooting fireworks. These were actually an experiment in trying to balance a slow enough shutter to expose the buildings with a fast enough shutter to capture the fireworks. I had varying degrees of success, but I got a few shots that were passable. Lucky for me, the crew that stages First Night Raleigh has a "fake" midnight at around 7:00 pm for the really young kids so that their parents can get them home and into bed at a reasonable hour (and not have to deal with cranky youngsters all evening on New Year's Eve). If I were a betting man, I'd say there was a mom or two on the planning committee. 'Cause Dad? Never gonna think of that one.
Stumble This!

Great idea!
But there is always something with the fathers..
(Or mothers of course.)
I haven't figure anything to post for Distant yet. :/
I hope you have a great day!

A fake midnight at 7pm??? Utterly brilliant!
We've done things like celebrate New Year's Eve in Bangkok, but this is loads better.
Fake midnights work for this senior- citizen-to-be. Great idea. And if faking it created the opportunity for you to create this gem, I hope the mommy's on on the job again next year.
Smart moms. I love the photo.
brilliant capture!
