I'm going to toe the line and say that this still counts as a landscape. The ultimate 4th of July gimmick shot, out focus fireworks. This one came together so perfectly. I've been taking these abstract fireworks photos for years and this is my favorite one to date. The composition and how to focus pulled in and out is better than I could have hoped. Taken on a Sony a7cr with a 2.5 second exposure and a Nikon 85mm tilt shift lens by pulling focus in and out as the fireworks went off. I'm not sure how much the tilt shift actually had an effect but something about it has a different feel than in past years where I have just used a manual focus 50mm rokinon lens. Post processing was in Lightroom with global adjustments and mainly dropping the white balance to 2233k to get the blue and pink tones.
