You can never go wrong with the 4th of July firework show in Seattle. Some friends and I go eat dinner at the same restaurant every year, which gives us a front row view of the show.This particular shot was the grand finale blast of the show. I set up my Nikon Z8, I pre set the focus on the space needle and the camera in interval timer mode with 8 second exposure and 9 second interval giving me the 1 second inbetween shots. F/11 and ISO-100. Edited the photo by bumping the contrast, fixing the white balance and rocked a square crop.

Thanks, I was happy with the 8 second exposures, last year i tried 6 had some choppiness in the streaks, so went longer this year and it worked out better !
