And the bombs bursting in air...

So. We went on a firework-photo-spot hunt tonight and I must say - we found the most incredible place to shoot. Right across the river from the place they shoot them off - no obstuctions. Of course, we had to walk in the dark through grass and weeds, under a barbed-wire fence (which some guy was holding for us) and... we were the only ones that were not fluent in Spanish. But it was a blast and really, I think I'd do the same thing again next year.
I am still not getting the hang of this 'shooting at night' stuff but, in my defense, it was so incredibly windy that I had a hard time holding the camera and tripod still. These are my favorite shots though:

Go Dust Devils!

Ok, so we don't really follow baseball ... but we had an opportunity to take the boys to a Dust Devils game and see some fireworks. I saw this as a great opportunity to try out my photography skills in real live action sports AND fireworks all in the same night. Matthew made me wait in the Sno Cone line for about 45 minutes, but other than that... we had alot of fun.
