Photos from this year's fireworks show over the Detroit River may not look quite the same as in years past.
"I heard a lot of cheering, so people who weren't photographers didn't have the frustrations that we had," says Ted Kloske, instructor of the photgraphy program at St. Clair College.
"They let the fireworks go when it was still bright outside, so we couldn't go with a long shutter speed because we would just over expose the scene and lose the effect and lose the colour. We ended up shooting with a much shorter shutter speed and ended up just changing the look of the fireworks this year from what we normally would shoot," says Kloske.
He says it was a great show, but the earlier start meant less vivid firework shots.
"As the fireworks went on, it got darker and darker and towards the end were able to do something more of what we would normally do. It was a little disappointing at the start because it was hard to get into the grove, but we eventually got there and it wasn't too bad," says Kloske.
The Detroit Ford Fireworks Display was bumped to 9:06pm instead of the scheduled 10:06pm on Monday because of stormy weather in the forecast.
