There has been some confusion around the "long exposure" category. Long exposure shots are created by holding a cameras shutter open for an extended period of time, for purposes of this contest, longer than 1 second. This captures the entirety of a fireworks "burst", and creates a "blur" effect of moving objects. Phone filters that compile multiple still shots are not long exposure shots and the difference is notable. Here are a couple of examples of long exposure shots:

Thanks to everybody who came to support the fireworks in Union Grove yesterday. While I have received a bunch of feedback saying that it was a good show, I'm disappointed. The unexpected rain before dark caused issues with the firing system and also ruined fireworks. Over half of our show did not shoot. We had planned a world class display, and what you seen last night was the worst case scenario.

Contest Announcement!

We're about a week and a half away from the Freedom in the Grove Fireworks in Union Grove and we're excited!

As the ones who shoot the fireworks, we rarely get to enjoy the fireworks from the crowds perspective and as such we rely on pictures and video footage to determine how we can make things better for the future. So we've decided to do a photo contest in Union Grove this year!

There are 3 categories:
1. Best photo
2. Best long exposure photo
3. Best 1 minute video "reel"

The fireworks are scheduled for Saturday July 6th,
After the fireworks we will accept pictures and videos via PM for 7 days. After that, we will post the entries on our page and have 7 days of voting. The pictures and video with the most "likes" will be our winners, with runner ups chosen as well.

Cash Prizes are as follows:

1st place photo(each category)- $150
Runner up-$75

1 minute video 1st place- $200
Runner up- $100

We look forward to seeing what everybody can come up with!

We had a last minute addition for Independence Day fireworks. We will be in Albemarle on July 3rd for the Uwharrie Wampus Cats collegiate baseball team. Fireworks will begin after the ball game or 9:30, whichever is later. While this is a smaller display, the Wampus Cats are a growing ball club and this is the first year the City of Albemarle has hosted fireworks in several years, the town and ball club hope to make this a more often occurrence. If you live in the area and would like to sponsor the team, reach out!
