On this past 4th of July, while everybody was blasting bald eagles and owls out of the sky with their fireworks, I let mother nature and baby Jesus put on nature's firework show in .... Just to share with all of you. It was cloudy for the most part, all the way up until about 20 minutes from taking this shot. And this is not a stack or a blend or whatever graphic design s**t, but just a photo at 6 seconds, f2.8 and 5000 ISO. I hung out on the northwest corner of Manzanita Lake, on the edge of the lake with the woods behind me and some bears moving all about around me. Earlier that day, I scoped this spot and knew that it would be money to chill out here for a bit at night.
