Your photos are fantastic! Too bad I don't live anywhere near y'all. However, your sparkler photo--it is going to bug me for the rest of my life how you caught the sparkler w/o seeing the person w/the sparkler...sorry, I just don't get these tricks..did you just photoshop them out? Clueless...it's sooo cool, but it bugs me that I can't figure it out. Please help explain it to me & save my sanity. Thanks!

OH MY GOODNESS! That first picture (with the sparkler) brought tears to my eyes!!! You have a real gift for capturing the true and beautiful moment you are photographing!! All I have to say is wow!!

Hi KC! There is no photoshop involved.. It is fairly easy to do - it's a long exposure shot with a sparkler. Anyone can do it! Thanks for the kind words!! *Belle
