Sometimes I think one of the dangers of not having children is you don't properly celebrate any holiday. I think we went the first 9 years of marriage never putting up a Christmas tree... although I do remember one sad one we put up that sat in the corner like it had misbehaved and never got its ligts turned on. lol. :) Poor tree. It couldn't even fulfill it's purpose in life.
There's just something about holidays that belong to midgets. They still have that wonder over things that grown-ups have long become jaded over. Although, I'd probably still go ape for a basket of Easter candy. ;) So, needless to say, the 4th of July was one of those holidays that got the same type of treatment around our house... until this year... I managed to see fireworks 3 times this year. Which has to be a record considering I can't think of more than three times total in the past 13 years. My memory is pretty shoddy, so that's probably an exaggeration (another of my redeeming qualities), but that's how I heard it, so that must be the way it be. :)
So, I had an epiphany! Try and take some photos! So the first three photos were my first attempt. The epiphany hit, I grabbed my camera and started shooting. Bad view, bad camera settings and bad set-up. Take two is great view, better camera settings and better set-up. Still don't really know what I'm doing, but between the view and the camera on a tripod the results were much better:
Best of the bad:
Best of the much improved:
The goal:
