The 2nd Annual Fire & Wine Festival at Black Walnut Winery in Sadsburyville, Chester County, PA!
The following images are for the wonderful fire masters of the evening!
Many, many thanks to the gentlemen of the Sadsburyville Fire Company (Company 31), who threw wood pallet after pallet into the sometimes gigantic bonfire!

Here it is, some 50 years later…
Once again, it did rain, so with that in mind, the kids and I decided to play in the studio…
Still can’t believe I am really that old!

Yesterday was the annual Lionville Community day, which ended with a great set of Fireworks!!
Hope you enjoy!
On a technical side, this was my first real chance to use my new Canon T5i (700D), and for some reason, it takes SO LONG to cycle between pictures, even with a fast memory card!
I’m going to do some more testing, but my much older Canon XTi seems to be a much better camera for Fireworks.

It is that time of the year again for fireworks!!
For those of you in Chester County PA area, here is a guide to local events that my friends of at County Line Magazine put together!
Where to Find Fireworks? (PDF)
My fellow photographer friend, Dan Potter, also put together a nice list of do’s and don’t when photographing fireworks!
I do take issue with his Bulb settings (#2) comment.
Looking back into my collection…
What my data suggests, that you might be referring to an older analog film based camera, and if memory serves me correctly, Nikon did the SAME THING on their line during that time!
In both cases (Canon vs Nikon), it was the nature of analog film cameras to have the Speeds on the Upper Dial and the Aperture on the Lens itself.
These days, both are done via the various digital modes, one being (M)anual.
Dan also makes a good point to “know your location” and to be able to “adjust quickly”. (#4)
In the various years that I have photographed the Good Neighbor Fireworks, their launch area does seem to be a moving target from year to year!
In any case, enjoy the tips and have a GREAT 4th of July Weekend!!
