Scott R Thorp Photography with another absolutely fantastic photograph of M/V Thomas Laighton and Portsmouth NH! PLEASE check out Scott’s amazing work:

Thank you so much Jared Plante Photography for inviting me along to shoot a unique location for the Portsmouth NH fireworks. I was shooting long exposures (5 seconds) to capture the streaming fireworks when I saw Isles of Shoals Steamship Company and the Thomas Laighton start to enter the frame. I had to quickly do the math in my head to convert this to a exposure of 1/25 th of a second to stop the Laighton and also capture the burst of a firework. This is a simple picture of a boat, fireworks and a steeple but they all hold great memories of Portsmouth to me and to capture them in one photo is pure happiness.

I hope everyone has a safe and happy 4th.

Please share if you enjoy and thanks again for looking 🙂.
