It is now July on the International Dateline.

Welcome to Photo of the Day. The POTD thread was started by iGary, and first posted in May, 2006 It was converted to a monthly thread in November 2007 by Arn. POTD is one of the most popular picture groups on MacRumors and often exceeds 500 posts and 20,000 views per month.

Photo of the Day is intended to be a showcase for your best pictures. There is no limit to your gear, just your imagination. P&S and film cameras are welcome along with DSLRs. There are no themes like the Fortnightly Challenge and Weekly Contest. No winners (or losers) either.

Policies

*One Photo per Day - Don't post multiple images in one message.

*Quote with Thumbnails - If you quote an image that has tags, convert them to [img] tags before replying. This will post your comment with a thumbnail and save space. Failure to [img] in quotes is still a problem at this time. Help fix that.

*Multi-Quote - To comment on several photos, click the Multi-Quote button. This puts all your comments in one post. The Moderators like that. Observe the [img] policy here, too (especially).

*SFW (Safe for Work) only - This is a site - wide rule. If you wouldn't show it in a public place, then it's NSFW (not safe for work). Think before you post.

Optional - Describe your photo.Tell what it is and where you took it. If you know the EXIF data of a photo, include it. The following EXIF fields are recommended: Camera; ISO; Focal Length; Shutter/Aperture; Lens.

If you need any help with posting, try one of these tutorials.

It's time again for my monthly desktop wallpaper. If you'd like a high-res version, the image links to my blog where you can download a copy.

 
WOW! What a beautiful picture. And as I write this, your post appears to have come from the future according the EXIF data. ;)

Thanks very much. it was taken in New South Wales, Australia so yeah, in the future for you I guess.
 
the exif says 5 seconds... was it really 5 seconds, or did you cover the lens at times so as to catch multiple bursts?

Good question... The EXIF is correct... 5 seconds. I find 5 seconds pretty good for fireworks if timed well (lucky). That was the finalle so there were a few bombs going off at once. Another one... Earlier in the show...
