Calogero Cammalleri (Gero) lurves these photos from other photographers. Creative black and white photography by Giles McGarry. "I am an IT Consultant living in rural Suffolk but spending most of my life in the city. I started out taking photos to relax and to escape the humdrum of the city – this naturally lead me to the beach where I spent hours whiling away the time shooting long exposure seascapes. However a couple of years ago I rediscovered my first love – which ironically is the city. I’d spent years working there not noticing what was around me. Since then I’ve paid much more attention to my surroundings and finding those hidden gems that most people miss. I still like to escape and I use long exposure to do this – but now its in and amongst all of that hubbub.

Each of us have had a lot of events, joy and happiness this summer which are worth to remember. At the long cold winter evenings, we think about summer as it’s the greatest dream.

Unusual Long Exposure Firework Photographs by David Johnson. While attending the International Fireworks Show in Ottawa, Canada earlier this month photographer David Johnson had his camera in hand to document the night.
When Spain’s entry into the competition begin he decided to try something a little different resulting in the photos you see here which are unlike any long exposure firework shots I’ve ever seen. Via email David tells me how he accomplished the effect: The technique I used was a simple refocus during the long exposure. Each shot was about a second long, sometimes two. I’d start out of focus, and when I heard the explosion I would quickly refocus, so the little stems on these deep sea creature lookalikes would grow into a fine point. What’s interesting is that unlike usual firework photos that seem to make long trails across the sky, Johnson’s photos look like flowers with little triangular plumes coming to a point.
