Seriously, full view this one!

Just a few of the many photos I took of the local Veteran's Day Fireworks. I decided to upload my favorite shots in collage-style, so as not to bore & annoy you with multiple firework photos in your devwatch. I didn't get any shots of the finale, as I wasn't expecting it and had my camera zoomed out; it was just a huge, gorgeous 5 second flash, and then it was over. But I got a lot of other awesome shots.

For the past 4 years, on the Saturday before the 11th of November, a local family has hosted this event (including paying for the fireworks), in their yard and garage, in honor of some of their relatives who have passed away and were veterans. It's free of charge (by donation, which goes to the Lutheran church & fire hall) and there's food, drinks, a raffle, and a silent auction, and lots of people you know and can visit & chat with. It's very nice. Then at dusk, the most awesome fireworks you will ever see around this area. Better than the town's 4th of July fireworks! They're even nice if it's raining, like it was last year. Can be very cold though!

I never have the energy during a fireworks occasion to set equipment and do some serious fireworks photos..., but I enjoy looking at some really good ones...Xd/James

The only equipment I used was my camera and hands. But even that's hard, because you get so distracted watching the fireworks you forget to take photos of them!

Mostly, my dates found it distracting to the event..., so I stopped taking them....I like to set a tripod and install a powerful flash on the camera and do like. 20 rolls of photographs...That's a bit to much for the ladies!!! Next time I start dating..., it will be with someone more artistic minded, I guess...James/Xd

Yes, when you yourself are artistic it's much better to date someone who is, too. Otherwise they seem to not care, as they just "don't get it".

This is absolutely amazing, not only your incredible shots...which are "PERFECT", but also the people who hosted this event. It is heart-warming to know that there are some patriots out there who take the time to remember those who paid the ultimate sacrifice so that we have the freedom to sit here and enjoy our 'uters' and dA...AMONGST a multitude of privileges and freedoms.

Simply awesome shots Jenna!!!!

I'm glad you like the shots. I ended up getting a lot of nice ones. I took so many firework photos over the summer (the town put them on every Saturday night this summer, for the tourists), I guess I'm finally getting the hang of photographing them.

It's really great of these people.
