I decided to try and find a different location to photograph the fireworks over Sullivan this year…wanted to try and shoot from the Hwy D Overpass that crosses the BNSF tracks, however the foliage on the west side of the bridge obscured my view of the Fairgrounds, so I drove down to the former doctors office building right across from the former Betz Printing and set up in the parking lot next to a nice couple. Just as the sun was setting, a nice guy came over and chatted me up about how to take better photos of fireworks, he had a nice camera and I gave him some tips, told him how I normally shoot them, and told him it can be a matter of luck, even for those of us that have been shooting them for years…we talked about Canon and Nikon Cameras as well as good lenses and settings…as he walked back to his spot to join his wife, I wished him the best of luck in getting some good images…as we were talking, folks down by the ball fields were lighting Japanese Lanterns and launching them into the skies overhead….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

…the trails of the Lanterns became easier to see once the skies darkened more…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

and then others with smaller fireworks set theirs off before the big show as well, some were very pretty…these just north of the railroad tracks….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

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

…then the Big Show started off with a VERY appropriate burst of colors….too bad there was no music with it this year….here are the best of over 200 images that I shot of the show….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

…this show was nice, some vibrant blues and purples in the colors….here are a few videos of the show….<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
