Sun Devil Stadium

Fireworks exploding over Sun Devil Stadium during a PAC-12 game against the Arizona Wildcats(Please click on image for a larger version or to order prints)

This is an image I have been wanting to make for the last 2 years, since moving to the Phoenix area from Tucson.  It is also an image that you have a very limited number of nights every year that it is even possible to capture.

I am not sure that it really needs much explanation, but with the exception of a slight crop and some very minor edits, this was all done in camera shooting through my 50-500mm Sigma “Bigma” lens.  Ironically it really was overkill as I shot it at 50mm. :-)

I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed capturing an image that has been on my “must capture” list for so long.

Let the games begin

I have always enjoyed fireworks, and photographing fireworks.  Obviously the 4th of July is a good time for that, and it looks like we will have 3 solid nights of fireworks this year.  This image was taken last night at the Fort McDowell Casino display near Fountain Hills, AZ.  The rest of the images from last night are still being imported to Lightroom as I post this, but I wanted to share something right now.

Happy 4th of July

Happy 4th everyone.
