Fragments of Fire

And I know that fire works, I have seen the fireworks
- The Crash "Fireworks"

Last night I played around with my new camera and tried to get some fun shots of fireworks they fired in honor of San Isidro (the saint of Madrid). My initial plan was to go to the park to see it closely, but in the end I didn't feel like going out into the cold and dark. I was there last year and it gets crazy. Probably no space for a tripod or anything. So I zoomed and hunted some "artsy"shots from the comfort of my home. The perks of living on the top floor. 

I gave a first try to the whole my iPhone as my camera remote thing (bless the genius who packed 6D with WiFi). It works. Brilliant. So handy. Plus I tried this whole keep-your-shutter-open-as-long-as-you-want-thing. Cool. Obviously it all takes practice, but it's fun. You get to play with fire.

It is all good to be in a celebratory mood as tomorrow is Friday!
