Independence Day Fireworks

285: Finally

Five years ago after shooting the local fireworks I came across the idea of shooting the Old Court House spire with fireworks behind it. The first year I selected a location to shoot several blocks away from the Courthouse and when the display started I found the burst were way off to one side, strike one. The next year I got closer and a better angle only to have street light dominate the images, strike two. Last year I thought my location was right only to learn they moved the fireworks launch site, FOUL ball. This year.....
