We had a huge downpour that afternoon so everything was wet, no fires because of us, I promise. And exposure speed is right. I was playing with the aperture, which does similar stuff, but it is the one I understand more about so I change it more. I had some sparkler trails, but no were as cool as the bottle rocket trail in the first picture. If you really want to see fireworks, go to Confessions of a Pioneer Woman. Hers are amazing! And kind of scary since they put on that whole show in their backyard. Yes, that is the grass, but on a bucket!

My friend Liz took some pictures of us playing with sparklers and she messed with the exposure speed (it is possible I just totally made up that term) so that you can see the trail that the sparklers made as we moved them around. It was a cool effect! You should try it sometime. Were you setting the fireworks off on grass???
