Sioux City Fireworks



Okay, I'll admit that I didn't double check my gear bag last night. While I don't want to admit some of the mistakes that I make in a public forum, I think that it's good to explore things that go wrong and how a person may try to make something else work. Because let's face it, if something can go wrong due to human or mechanical error - it will.

I brought my tripod with me to Sioux City in order to take some longer exposure fireworks shots. I walked with my husband to the 4th Street area, tripod in hand. However, when I went to set up the shot, no wedge plate to attach my camera to the tripod. Rats.

However, I thought that with the flash and with some luck, I may be able to freeze the people in the shot and still get some of the explosions in the background.

They may not be perfect, but I liked these two pictures the best.
