It's the Holbrook, Arizona Power Plant. Shot taken just after midnight on my way home from my Bosque del Apache Trip. Even though I was dead tired and anxious to get home, the spectacle of it appearing in the otherwise fairly featureless section of desert was remarkable, and I had to get the shot.
While it is a long exposure, it's actually quite indicative of how it looked. Evidently that's all steam rising up from cooling vats, and illuminated by tungsten lights which makes it look like fire.
Fantastic shots, OP and all!
Can you share the EXIF data for the fireworks shots?
Thanks!
Typical Exif for my fireworks pictures... Sony F828 (5 or 8 MP setting), F/8, 4s (3-5 seconds, using remote control), ISO64.
