Long-exposure firework photographs by David Johnson

Check out these amazing long-exposure photographs of fireworks by David Johnson:

According to David, 'The technique I used was a simple refocus during the long exposure. Each shot was about a second long, sometimes two. I’d start out of focus, and when I heard the explosion I would quickly refocus, so the little stems on these deep-sea-creature-lookalikes would grow into a fine point. The shapes are quite bizarre, some of them I was pleasantly surprised with.'

He's being modest. They're like beautiful flowers enhanced by the jet black backgrounds:
