Today the town of Oxford had their annual fireworks celebration. The location was a bit more scenic with a big lake in the middle of the property that the audience crowded around. This is in contrast to the giant parking lot that Jacksonville had their’s in. So the lake gave me more to play with.
I opted not to strobe this time and relied on long shutter speeds and natural lighting with less depth of field to illuminate the people watching the show.
