Rebecca's birthday fireworks

Rebecca was born on the 4th of July, so every year gets to see lots of fireworks. Last night our family went to her parents' place in lower Queen Anne to have cake and watch the Elliot Bay fireworks show from their deck. Her sister and brother-in-law were also in town to join in.


Here Rebecca makes her wish and prepares to blow out the candles...



I was trying out various settings on my camera. The first picture shows all the boats that set up in the bay to watch the fireworks up close. The next picture was my first shot of the show and was a 15 second exposure of the opening moments. Obviously there were quite alot of explosions going off. The later shots came out a little better, but I soon decided to just sit back and enjoy the show instead of fussing with the camera.
