I had several small private fireworks shows visible from my mountain top Friday evening. Managed to get a few photos. Enjoy. Happy Independence Day weekend to those of you in the states.

the mighty Kanawha River (pronounced locally as ‘Can-aw’ or ‘Can-awa’). It is a major commercial tributary of the Ohio River formed from the Gauley River and the New River which most from Virginia and North Carolina are familiar with. Simon Kenton, famous pioneer, trapped along the river in the 1700’s (read The Frontiersmen by Allen Eckert) and George Washington surveyed and owned a good chunk of the land.
Used to be a dead river from the chemical valley (world’s largest chemical producer for a long time – Union Carbide – started in podunk little ol’ Charleston, actually Clendenin). It now is a pretty darned good smallmouth fishery.
Here are two of the many shots I attempted this year. It was my second time trying it…and I think I got some better results this year.
Its not to often that we see fireworks over water…the reflections were not as clear as I thought they would be over a glassy lake.
The second photo is of my daughter and nephew. I didnt see them sitting there until the end so I only got one or two shots and didnt get to adjust things too much. I need to do some cropping but other than that not sure what else can be done.
Certainly nothing close to the quality of your shot Phillip.
