This year I gathered with friends near the Marine Corps memorial to celebrate Independence Day and watch the fireworks over the capitol. It was a scorcher, but we had all the essentials to make for a fun day—blankets, picnic lunches, apple pie and little kids running around barefoot!
I had rented a long lens for a wedding the day before and since I was able to keep it for the entire weekend it was a perfect opportunity to try shooting fireworks. The focal length was great for shooting across the river towards the Lincoln Memorial, Washington Monument and the Capitol building, and capturing the All-American scene that was unfolding before the crowd yesterday.
Nice fireworks shot! It came out crystal clear.
