My 4th of July celebrations included attending a friend’s party and walking from her house to a fireworks‘ display called Red White & Blue Ash Fireworks! It’s located in Blue Ash, Ohio, which is a suburb of Cincinnati and there were over 100,000 people there! Midnight Special and Cheap Trick were the bands playing and the Rozzi Fireworks were spectacular! I took my tripod to capture the fireworks. It was my first time and I had my settings on 8 seconds at 8 F-Stop. In Lightroom 5, I edited some of the smoke out by increasing my black and contrast.

One of my friends took my photo with my camera. As you can see it was a beautiful day…low humidity and 78 degrees!
My friend Frank had a temporary tattoo on his head…
