It was also raining.  So I was happy to learn that the fireworks were going on today.  I didn&#8217;t read about it in the paper or see it on the television.  But, in a lucky coincidence, I saw them setting up for fireworks when I played disc golf.\n<\/p>\n<div class=\"photo\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/pictures.hamzy.info\/blog-photo-IMG_1236.jpg\" alt=\"Fireworks #3\"><\/img>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nSo after Pilates, I ran back home and grabbed my camer gear.  I stopped by Taco Bell for some quick food and headed to the park.  People were already streaming in.  I forgot my lawn chair, but was able to use a cloth tarp that I carry in my truck.  I walked over to the hill that is part of hole 14 and set up.  And the fireworks started right away.  Perfect timing!  Although I had to rush around to finish setting up.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nDuring the show, I played around with the aperature setting.  I was using a tripod and a remote shutter control.  I guessed at the timing.  The LCD screen would inform me of what the shot looked like.  It is surprising just how much light a 2.8 apterature will let in.  For the same time as a f\/22 stop picture that looks like pitch black background, the f\/2.8 will look like early dawn.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAfter the show, I decided to hang out and watch <a href=\"http:\/\/imdb.com\/title\/tt0381971\/\">Curious George<\/a> from across the street.  At that distance, the movie screen was the size of my 17&#8243; TV set.  And the sound was a decent volume.  It took an hour before the traffic jam had cleared.  Which is when I headed home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On the 4th, I was in no mood to take pictures of fireworks. It was also raining.
