As I’ve mentioned before, my house is really close to the stadium. This means I can enjoy not only the drunks, but also the fireworks during night games.

I’ve been trying for years to figure out how to take good pictures of fireworks. My problem this time is I wasn’t sure we were having fireworks at halftime, so I had to run out in my clogs without my tripod or even a jacket.

So between holding the camera over my head and shivering, the shots weren’t too still.

Ah well, I’ll get it eventually.

OK. so there are a couple trees in the way of the lower fireworks. But there aren’t that many low fireworks.

Shiny!

Some trees visible here, but not too bad.

I love the color here.

And here.

Not too bad for running out of the house with the camera.
