Happy Independence Day!

Some Fourth of July revelers consider fireworks too noisy, and sometimes dogs become so disturbed by the  blasts that they need a chill pill.

I love these colorful explosions in the sky. Photographers Nick Pacione and David Johnson love them too.

Nick Pacione uses a special technique that changes focus during the exposure of his photographs to capture the flash in time in a way our eyes could never see.

David Johnson uses a special focus technique of his own to show pyrotechnic displays in a whole new light.

Whether in the sky or in a photograph, may fireworks light up your Fourth of July this year!
