The exposure length for this image was short
Notice the short lines in the sky. These images
were taken form the Mall. See the
digital pictures
page to hear about the day.

Some of these pictures are crooked because of
how they were scanned. Others because I am
apparently crooked.
|
This image has a longer exposure. It give
a pretty fireworks picture when there are not
a lot of blasts. I now think a lower dollar
fireworks show would offer the chance to
get the best fireworks pictures because they
would shoot fewer (and sometimes only one)
at a time.
|
I was disappointed that the blasts were not
occurring higher in the sky.

I was told that no one was allowed to be on
the reflection pond side of the Washington
Monument. If I knew the fireworks would
have been eclipsed by the Monument, I would
have considered sitting by the ellipse.

At one point, a plane flew by (it was behind
the Lincoln Memorial heading toward Ronald
Reagan International Airport) and I felt special
knowing those people were getting
a look at the show from the sky.
|
|
The smoke from the earlier blasts pollutes
the images as in this one. Shots on windy
days or early in the fireworks show probably
would give nice pictures.

I wish I had kept the flags in these pictures.
