Reaction paper 7-Mn Photographer,

I saw this photographers work on fireworks and I thought, Wow...that is beautiful. The usual setting for Fourth of July fireworks is laying on my back staring up at the constant flashing and booming of the bright, bold and noisy displays. However, in her photographs, Nanette Drellack captures the serene images of a single firework exploding. The shutter is set at a slower speed. It captures the trail of light at the time the firework is shot up to the time it explodes into its big bloom of lights. The human eye does not capture the same image of a slow shutter. When I see a firework explode, I simply see the quick trail that shoots up, then the flash of color from the exploding canon ball.

This gives me even more to think about for future photo endevers. I haven't really worked with shutter speeds yet. I haven't done any photos with a tripod either. I assume she uses both these techniques to create her firework photos. I would love to photograph lightning someday or the different moons at night. It is always a challenge but the use of a camera is valuable at creating what the human eye doesn't see in slow motion.
