July 2022

While the fireworks happen three nights a year, it's surprisingly easy to find yourself busy or out of town for all three. This year Wednesday was a good day to spend waiting on the bridge for the fireworks to begin.

I saw a photographer at Jerhicho pier and he had two cameras - one he was hand shooting and another was doing a timelapse.  Hand shooting is almost random - it's easy to start a little to later or end a little late.  Further, hand shooting often wildly changes the exposure time which leads to a bunch of variety in the background exposure.  Shooting timelapse lets you just take in the fireworks and see what you find in post.
