Sequence Well, some of these are sequential. Having the fireworks on this day, the Friday after Thanksgiving, also ensures a decent attendance, and gives two extra non-business days for rain delays, though I do believe one year the twins were so heavy they were delayed until Monday. I could be wrong to probably am. It was probably a Sunday. Once you get past five or so on a Sunday or a second day-off in a row it feels like a Monday already anyway. Am I not right? #sonydschx400v #sonydsc #sonycybershot #SonyCameras #fireworks #cityofkenai #kenai #kenaifireworks #kenaialaska #alaska #alaskaphotography (at Kenai, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW328QGPGyf/?utm_medium=tumblr

Curtains and Streamers More of the fireworks from Friday. The ones I'm calling streamers are spun for stability during their ascent, and produce an interesting spiralling effect as the small rocket motor(s) that imparts the spin goes from facing toward the observer then away. They look lopsided, but that is an illusion. Most fireworks are launched out of un-rifled tubes like mortars (well, they are in fact called mortars, probably because they are), and so rockets or fins are used to impart spin. The curtains are just embers that drift slowly down, creating a curtain effect in a long exposure, though to some degree in the eye as well, owing to persistence of vision, and being so bright as to deplete exposed cells of their rhodopsin. #sonydschx400v #sonydsc #sonycybershot #SonyCameras #fireworks #cityofkenai #kenai #kenaifireworks #kenaialaska #alaska #alaskaphotography (at Kenai, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW31hvOvUrX/?utm_medium=tumblr

Planar Fireworks Shots from Friday, 26 November, 2021 Because it is too bright and often too dry to have fireworks on the Fourth of July, the City of Kenai has settled on the day after Thanksgiving for their fireworks display. They begin at seven sharp, and usually last between fifteen and twenty minutes. The duration seems to be shorter of late, but there frequency has increased. Anyway, I cheated by using the automatic Fireworks Program on the Sony DSC-HX400V, and it works quite well. I didn't understand exactly what it was doing at first, but I figured there is a slightly longer exposure, which lead to some blurring, not because I couldn't hold the camera still, but because I didn't know I was supposed to. It was a happy accident, though, as it less to some interesting images, with one firework blurred and another crisp in the same shot, or the center of one being perfect, but with wildly wandering extremities. This is a selection of very 'flat' fireworks. I didn't realize how many weren't in 3D. #sonydschx400v #sonydsc #sonycybershot #SonyCameras #fireworks #cityofkenai #kenai #kenaifireworks #kenaialaska #alaska #alaskaphotography (at Kenai, Alaska) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW3z-qyv3pO/?utm_medium=tumblr
