This is a similar shot to the one of the firecracker from yesterday. I didn’t really want to have 2 similar shots in yesterday’s batch so I saved this for today. I just loved the reach of my 100-400 and the speed of my camera allowing me to capture it. It took quite a bit of work to really bring out the detail. Grey smoke isn’t very helpful when trying to capture this sort of image.
