Do you know how hard it is to take photos of fireworks? (261-270)

Depends on the camera, really. I waited until I heard the pop! of it igniting, then took the shot. Most of the time, the shutter clicked as the rocket exploded.

Most of the time.

Still, I need to practice more night shooting because it brings a whole different dynamic.

Kinda looks like a ship. But no, it's just the shoreline across the bay.

My favorite fireworks are the weeping willows. There's usually only two or three per show, but I love the slow fizzle as they burn out.

266


Finales make shooting fireworks really easy. Point and shoot. And shoot. And shoot.

267


Yes, okay, I did not take this photo. But it's still awesome. I hugged a bear, people!

A gift left on our balcony. That last day with all the fog made the spiderwebs look really neat. It's a good thing those trees were there for contrast, though.

269


Another cool lighting effect.

270


Okay, I've taken several shots like this. You really need to be there in person to get the full effect, but one of my favorite parts of printing letters is seeing the patterns they make when folded.

I'm working on catching up. I was counting on Turkey to pad the numbers. Now I need to find something else.
