Freedomworks

: Freedomworks; These are fireworks from Natchitoches, Louisiana celebrating the independance of the United States from England. I wonder where the tradition came from of shooting fireworks, which make noises like guns and use gun powder to celebrate the independance of a country that was fought for with the use of guns. I am sure that tradition must have come from China since that is where rockets originated.; Created by: Dudley.; Tools Used: Olympus D380; Created on: July 2005; Image Views: 365; Average Views per Day: 0.2; Image Number: 14685

Thanks. It is easy to shoot fireworks. All you have to do is light the fuse and back up. Seriously, at first I had some difficulty because I was trying to time the shot for the works. Then I realized if I just kept shooting over and over eventually I would have to get some good shots.
