My second attempt at shooting fireworks, ever. Got a few things right, mostly wrong, and some were just a bitch. I think I learned enough to have more success next time. I also made some decent photographs my first time out the night before (July 3rd fireworks at Lake Arlington). Maybe I’ll post some later.

Immediately following the Irving July 4th (2008) fireworks show finale, a fire began at the launch site. It took approximately 15 minutes for the fire to subside with the aid of area firefighters.

It was fun to watch it all.
