Fire in the sky, Seattle

The house is one of those famous Seattle houseboats. You know, like where Tom Hanks lives... :-)

Fire in the sky curtesy of the Fourth of July fireworks.

Added to Cream of the Crop group as personal favorite.

!!!! Where was this taken (stadium?) and were there any filters used? Very nice!

This is on Lake Union in Seattle. No filters, the red is from the fireworks themselves. I did however use Neat Image to remove high ISO noise.

That's gorgeous. Where were you, near Gas Works Park? I love the color. Where's the best place for me to be next year. I just moved up there but was in Santa Barbara for this year's celebration.

retro traveler says:

I agree with cabbit - I could only hope to take such an amazing shot like this tonight. This is my most favorite fireworks photo ever.

Linus Gelber says:

Yes - this shot is mighty good. I see I'm coming to it a couple of years late, but still - better than never. Well done.

Walakazoo says:

Great color and wonderful capture of the smoke and raining sparkles but also getting silhouettes of the people on the houseboat in the foreground really makes this photo work! Too many shots of fireworks are just the fireworks surrounded by empty space (boring!). Adding the foreground objects really makes this a more interesting shot! Great job.

I just made this my "flickr shot of the day" at my Seattle Photo blog:
seattlephoto.vox.com

Thanks for sharing!
