Holy Cow!

I've been told that is what I said the first time I ever saw fireworks. I saw some more tonight and they were spectacular. The Port Alberni Salmon Festival typically starts off with a bang and tonight was no different. I'm afraid the pictures aren't that good. They are the first I've ever taken of fireworks. I really should have used a blank media card, just kept snapping away and deleted the worst ones afterwards. Luckily we have a fabulous view from our back deck.

Good pics. Fireworks aren't easy to photograph and you've done a good job here. I know what you mean about consoling. Tartan is okay with the noise but fireworks use to scare Teddy and he'd shake until it was all over. Poor fellow!

Good pictures and a spectacular sight.

It's so nice to be able see the fireworks from your deck instead of having to drive and find a place to park.

Don't need the car. We could walk there in 15 minutes.

I don't think we ever get over the excitement of watching fire works no matter what age. You did a great job, thanks for the pictures.

For most of it I was stuck in the basement consoling terrified tabby.

I thought you had to have special equipment to take pix like this at night. Anyway, you did a great job. The last one is particularly great.

That last was part of the grand finale. I just stood on the back deck and used my old Olympus D-550.

I think you did a great job. I tried to take some pictures of fireworks and they did not turn out nearly as good as these.
