It is simply amazing how many people turn out at the best view hotspots to watch fireworks....the scout statue was packed with people watching and shooting off fireworks themselves...it was like a street party.....people all around where the PAC will be and around Quality Hill watching the City market fireworks.
here is a sample of what I got....all I know is capturing firework photos is hard f'ing work....got to set the camera to open the lens a bit longer or all I get is black pictures with little bits of light...when you do that you can't move AT ALL or shots turn out terrible...luckily I got a little 6" tripod that helps but it's still not easy.....no way around that....night pictures of a city are just hard with normal digital cameras...
anyways, here are my shots....KC did it up right this year...beautiful job on the buildings around the city:
what was spelled out on 1KC place? I assume USA but I didn't see that they were spelling something out until I got home....might run back out and snap a new one if the lights are still on.
and I couple panos....
