It’s summertime and there are fireworks all over the planet. They are truly magnificient.

In Montreal, Switzerland and Italy have already lit up the Saint-Lawrence River since June 17 ^[1]. Eight more performances are schedule ^[2]d. So far, the weather has been in their favor.

Fireworks can make beautiful photos. Some believe them to be too difficult to take, but the universal law of photography is that if it can be seen it can be shot. We only need to learn how ^[3].

Many people watch the pretty lights, but are clueless that it is actually a competition and the lights walk hand in hand with a soundtrack. If you’ve never at La Ronde next to the place where the fireworks are launched, you should go. It’s a completely different feeling and you will actually be able to judge whether the performance was good or not. Well… that’s only good when it’s not raining.
