Every year on Independence Day, I shoot the fireworks here in Washington, D.C. This year was unique for two reasons. First, I had the opportunity to shoot from the steps of the Capitol, which gave me an unusual perspective. Second, we had just experienced a lot of rain and the clouds were very low. The air was also very hazy. This created an atmosphere in the photos that felt somehow otherworldly. I hope you agree this made the photos a little extra special.
