We got so lucky last night! We spent our first 4th July as Las Vegas residents being treated to hundreds of firework displays around the valley just as a big thunder storm rolled in around the mountains surrounding the Las Vegas area. By the time the main show started around Caesars Palace and the Stratosphere, the lightning was getting pretty intense. Eventually, the rain passed through just before the finale.

Holy awesome capture and luck of many things all coming together… Nicely done. +Tony Eckersley

We got so lucky last night! We spent our first 4th July as Las Vegas residents being treated to hundreds of firework displays around the valley just as a big thunder storm rolled in around the mountains surrounding the Las Vegas area. By the time the main show started around Caesars Palace and the Stratosphere, the lightning was getting pretty intense. Eventually, the rain passed through just before the finale.

Luckily I was able to capture a few exposures that showed some of the craziness around us. The photo below is 5 shots from approximately 1 minute of the show. You can see a bigger version on my +SmugMug – http://www.tony.photography/New-releases/i-bqkVXjW/A
