The 4th

2008.07.04

On the 4th of July we were traveling home from the All-State game. So our evening was very low key. Just us 6 with a box of fireworks and a fire in our chiminaya to make s'mores. After that Zzzzzzzzzzzz....

I've never done long exposures b4 in my life, so forgive my Kindergarten pics. LOL

The first pic was taken 2 years ago. It's the flag on top of the U.S.S. Arizona Memorial in Oahu Hawaii.

God Bless the U.S.A.

Excellently patriotic-
(don't say that about your firework shots, yours are waaaayyy better than mine!!)
I like the fountains, and the sparklers are just great!~ R

The first photo is "photostock" worthy. You could sell that one. Absolutely amazing. I see you were having fun with the sparklers. That's how I got my default photo.....I had to write my name in the air backward, while my daughter took a very long exposure.

The flag shot is amazing.
I especially like the 4th shot.
Kudos for trying something new!!

TCC!!! I've saved that first shot previously, I do believe. One of the greatest flag shots I've ever seen. I agree with Tam ... you could sell that shot. If no one else, then to me! =)

I see you put your tripod to good use! What I think is so great about the first few shots in this series is the fact that you took them at twilight, and they exposed enough to capture Bella having fun. Very well done!!!
