Friday night, July 4th, I decided to set up on the West Overpass and hoped for light traffic, so I could shoot the fireworks show at the Fairgrounds. They were set to launch at 9:15 pm, and the timing was nearly perfect, the sunset faded just enough by then to actually give them good darkness. The altitude wasn`t nearly as high this year as it was last year, a few hundred feet lower it seemed like. Last year`s show trumped this year`s show by far, but I still managed to get some good shots and did see a few unusual looking bursts…not sure if they were planned out like that or just flukes, but some of them appeared to be half bursts instead of full bursts. I started out shooting the first few frames horizontally…..<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"01<\/a><\/p>\n

\"02<\/a><\/p>\n

…and as you can tell in the next few shots, the bursts finally did gain a bit more altitude, but still short of the two years before….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"04<\/a><\/p>\n

…and I believe the next image shows the only red, white, and blue colors I saw in the whole show….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"05<\/a><\/p>\n

…and here is one of those unusual bursts, half and half, not sure what happened to the rest of it, maybe it was supposed to give this effect….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"07<\/a><\/p>\n

\"08<\/a><\/p>\n

\"09<\/a><\/p>\n

\"14<\/a><\/p>\n

\"15<\/a><\/p>\n

\"18<\/a><\/p>\n

\"19<\/a><\/p>\n

\"21<\/a><\/p>\n

\"22<\/a><\/p>\n

\"23<\/a><\/p>\n

\"36<\/a><\/p>\n

…and then from there on the bursts were the same colors like this next one…until the finale that lasted all of about five seconds…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"39<\/a><\/p>\n

..I normally can shoot about ten images during a finale, this time I was only able to capture two and a half….shortest finale I have ever seen in a fireworks show….not nearly as good as last year`s show, folks….I think someone got robbed….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
