Fourth of July Redux

I know this shot is a cliché, however I have owned a digital camera for over 5 years and have never even tried to capture fireworks before. Sitting on the school lawn watching these pyrotechnics and snapping away helped end a fine Fourth of July.

The day started with the Marine Band performing in Webb Park.

Canon EOS 5D
1/60s f/4.0 at 24.0mm iso1600 full exif

I am glad you had a great 4th of July as we had also a great July 1st here in Canada.

I cannot believe I feel asleep in my lazy boy recliner and missed going out. Well at least I can enjoy yours.
