4th of July 2008

Living in South Lake Union has its perks. The streetcar ride to downtown Seattle, the history, having REI right around the corner. The list goes on and on. But, for one night a year, this place is amazing. After spending the day in Tacoma at the Tall Ships Festival, my wife and I spent the evening at the Wooden Boat Festival on the lakefront. Then, as night fell, we went up to the roof of our building for the REALLY BIG SHOW, as Ed Sullivan used to say.

Exposure: 5 seconds Aperture: f/11 Focal Length: 48 mm ISO Speed: 200

    Easily the best fireworks photo I have seen in a long time. But I would say you need to delete it from so many groups or else you have no chance of getting it on Explore. :)

    Thanks for the suggestion. I have learned that getting ‘in’ to Explore is such a random and unreliable occurrence to not try that hard to get in anymore.
