Taken on the shore of Town Lake in Austin, Texas.

I ran outside my apartment one evening on account of what sounded like an artillery bombardment only to find there were fireworks being set off across the lake. By the time I reemerged with camera and tripod, I had just enough time to brutally overexpose single shot before it was over.

I was in the process of heading back inside when I realized what an amazing night it was. The air was very thick and nothing was moving. The reflections from across the lake were almost perfect in the water. I'm glad I took the time to stick around to crank out a few shots.
