Photo #185: Independence Day

I took several pictures today, but I wasn't really happy with any of them. I decided to use these photos from the fireworks display last night. I'm glad I went last night, because it has been raining all day. The family that parked next to me had sparklers, so I took a couple shots while the kids were playing with them. I'm also fascinated with the way photographs of fireworks come out: not at all the way the human eye sees them.

Photo #184: Fireworks

We have a 70% chance of rain forecast for tomorrow, so I decided to catch the fireworks tonight at Prairie Meadows. I found a place to park just east of Menards, where I set up my lawn chair, played with my Droid, and had a very pleasant time. A family from my school, ended up parked beside me, so it was lots of fun. It's kind of interesting the way my camera picked up the fireworks. They didn't really look like this, but it's an interesting photo, nevertheless.
