1930’s fireworks photo, black and white print, unique rare vintage summer boardwalk 4th of July photo, custom reprint, select size from Etsy<\/p><\/div>\n

Toronto<\/strong>. \u00a0As I write this post on Canada Day when we too celebrate with fireworks (smoke and rain permitting), I am thinking of our good friends to the south who celebrate Independence Day with fireworks too.<\/p>\n

The photo at left is courtesy of Etsy<\/a>. The photograph, created from a vintage negative, is offered at a reasonable price in a choice of sizes. When the negative was taken, most photographs were black and white, on what would today be considered very slow media.<\/p>\n

In the 1930s, colour photographs were out of the question as the colour media of the day were far, far slower than black and white.<\/p>\n

Modern day digital technology makes such shots a cinch. To get some ideas on shooting such images today, check out Florida photographer, Brian Matiash<\/a>. Brian produces his newsletter periodically as well as his tutorials and images.<\/p>\n

Reading Brian’s ideas is a pleasant way to consider fireworks and the founding of our two countries, one by a government decision; the other by a fight for independence. While we have a lot to feel uneasy about down south, we also benefit from their many fine products and programs. Happy CanadaDay! Happy Independence Day!<\/p>\n

Oh yes, and be sure to drop in at our annual summer Trunk Sale<\/a> this month. Same location. Outdoors. Free to visit. Free to park. Lots of great bargains.<\/p>\n
