Boston is known for as a "fireworks" town, from the iconic July 4th display over the Charles River to the New Year's Eve show over Boston Harbor. A newer tradition, six years running, is to have fireworks on the Thursday night before Labor Day weekend, before folks head away. It celebrates not only Labor Day, but the unofficial end of summer. One could also says it welcomes back the 15% of Bostonians that show up this time every year for college.
The top photo shown a super wide angle (12mm) with the fireworks on the harbor toward the left with the traffic of Commercial Street, and the Boston skyline to the right. Smoke is always a challenge with fireworks. There is always less smoke in the beginning of the show, but ironically the most during the dazzling finale.
Fireworks is one of my ongoing projects. See more fireworks images here.
2020 Desk Calendars
2020 Desk Calendars are in stock! This year, I made two completely different calendars. The first is exclusively Boston and the North End area. And, to mix things up, I made a second travel photography calendar featuring my best photography from around the world. Both have all new photos not included in previous calendars. Preview images from both calendars at this link.
Order online to have them shipped directly to you. Click here to order online.
FYI, online shipping can be $6-$8 per order (sorry, that's out of my control so I lowered the calendar cost to $15 this year). The shipping cost is per order so you can get several calendars at the same shipping cost. A great reason to order multiple calendars!
If you're local in Boston, save on shipping and contact me at matt@mattconti.com to arrange pickup.
