My boyfriend thinks these pictures I shot during the 4th of July fireworks with a slow shutter speed are lame; I do not. Decide for yourself who's right.

I love these! Especially since I missed out on fireworks this year since I'm in Canada.

I totally got a lot of "likes" on my facebook page when I uploaded a way lamer picture of fireworks going off behind the Hollywood Bowl, so while your boyfriend seems like a nice enough guy normally, I agree with Christopher, he's the lame one here.

Not lame! Electrifying. I also missed out on fireworks this year, so I am delighted to see these. Nice work!

I do not care for fireworks. You see one show, you've seen them all. However, I love these pics. Well done, Rich!

Sorry, I've got to agree with the bf on this one. And Sally, the fireworks in Canada happen on July 1, but I think you already knew that ...

They look like musical notations.

Awesome! Your bf is dumb

Well, I see what your boyfriend means...on the for reals, so many people I know show me photos like this and ask if I think they should become photo majors. However, just because these photos require little photographic skill and are sort of a dime a dozen, it doesn't negate the beauty and the "wow!" factor of the simple visual effect. Nice!

obvs your bf just doesn't smoke enough weed.
im just sayin.

Fuck it out.

Well, not to be snotty, but shit like this is the first thing Photography 101 students take while trying to be "artistic". There are like a million photos of stuff like this. So...Lame. It seems like it was an awesome show though.

@ JR
I think the difference is that Rich isn't looking for a grade from a professor, unless he is in fact dating a photography professor, and in that case, I think his boyfriend is just spoiled by the oddity that is Winston and takes fireworks for granted. Anything next to Winston barring drawings of Winston by ANTM contestants is in for some real competition.

They kinda remind me of the aliens in the ocean on The Abyss. Ilikeum.
Posted by: Alexis | July 06, 2010 at 10:41 PM
I like them. And everyone in these comments wants to be be your boyfriend, and that is lame in that it is annoying. REAL TALK.
