Fireworks by the Sierra Nevada

Independence Day fireworks at Crowley Lake, near Mammoth Lakes, California.

Independence Day fireworks last Thursday at Crowley Lake, near the town of Mammoth Lakes in the Eastern Sierra region of California.  For this image, three exposures were combined using the free StarStaX app, one image for the starry background and two for the fireworks.

Exposure of the fireworks:
5 seconds at f/16, ISO 640

If you’re thinking of seeing this year’s fireworks at Crowley Lake, you can stop by the Visit Mammoth and Mono County Tourism sites to get some ideas for other great things to do in the area while you’re up there: visit Mono Lake, the historic Wild West ghost town of Bodie, explore Devil’s Postpile National Monument… there’s so much to do, you might need a week or two!
