Festival
Flipping the Light Fantastic
Talk about a wild ride! This spectacular light painting was created by a pair of acrobatic airplanes flying huge loop-the-loops in the night sky while shooting fireworks off their wings. Though this long exposure image gives the impression of a colorful chaos, it is actually very graceful and beautiful to watch. This was part of the night airshow at the EAA’s AirVenture 2019.
Because this is a long exposure shot, the people on the ground have a ghostly/blurry quality to them caused by them moving during the 26-seconds the shutter was open. The airplane on the ground didn’t move, so it remains sharp.
The night, fireworks-enhanced air show has improved over the years. You can view some long exposure shots I took at AirVenture 2013 by visiting this earlier post – Pathway to Glory.

Rain of Fire
An impressive burst of cascading color from the annual Shanty Days festival at Algoma, WI. The fireworks display is a crowd favorite that closes out the summer, weekend celebration.

Look! Up In the Sky! It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s…
…an Elephant…a Giraffe…a Shark…a teenie-weenie Cow…and other assorted colorful things.
Though they look more like creatively shaped balloons, these are kites – flying high at the Kites Over Lake Michigan kite festival at Two Rivers, WI.
The cow is my favorite!
