There is a theme each week that you can follow if you wish. This week's theme is "Your Calendar Shot" for February.
February is one of my favorite months for trips to Florida. The weather is beautiful, not too hot or humid which makes it easier to get some good pictures and there are always new things to see and do.
On this occasion I set up my tripod away from the crowds and pointed my camera toward the sky to capture the burst above but also the reflection in the river. Next time I'll use my Tokina 16-18 mm lens as this Nikon lens cut off the tip of the trails and the full reflection.
Timing is everything in this location because you are standing on a floating dock. Every time people walk past you will your camera will shake. If you are in the middle of a long exposure it can be frustrating. I think it's worth the challenge.
