Fireworks at the Elks Country Club in Rapid City, SD
Photographed: 7/1/2007

This is last of a series of 5 "Photographs" in which I suceeded in caputuring the essence of the fireworks display at the Elks Country Club in Rapid City SD.

The exposure is relatively quick. Fast enough to just capture the shell as it bursts. The effects of gravity are starting to drag the shell back to earth..
