Pop and Flash - a photo on Flickriver

            Every now and then, something completely unexpected can turn out to be beneficial. In this shot, a fountain emitted one spark which detonated just above the firework itself. The light from this pop acted like flash, a strobe, and illuminated the firework fountain. 

As a result, we get some spotlight lighting on our little pyrotechnic display. The black background of the night is solidified and you have this very pleasant little scene of the firework fountain shooting sparks, yet plunged into darkness.

I, of course, had no idea that one little spark would pop in such a way. There was no planning for it, there was no expectation of exposure. It just happened. And I was lucky enough to press the shutter release at the precise moment without even realizing that I caught a little bit of magic.
