Opening Night Fireworks Summerfest 2008

Howdy all, i'm reviving this old blog of mine to keep in touch with everyone and to allow the converse to happen of course.  Bearing in mind that i am a person of few words (stop rolling your eyes in disbelief), i will for the most part, let my pictures do the talking.

Though i've been in Milwaukee for 3 weeks now, i've hardly taken any photos as i reckon that i'll have all the opportunities in the world to do so since i'll be here for the next 6 months... Well, i finally found the perfect chance to whip out the good old SLR and me new tripod last night - Opening night fireworks for Summerfest 2008 - the largest music festival in the U.S and some say the world... not too sure about that...

Anyway, i went with my PSD colleague, Tammy, and her bf, Ray, who were kind enough to let me play 3rd wheel/light bulb (i was carrying a mighty powerful flash) for the night.  I currently live pretty near to the lake which is where the festival grounds are and where the fireworks were being launched from.  We found a nice spot in a park on a bluff that was overlooking the lake and where many other Milwaukeeans had gathered for the fireworks.  I shamelessly set up my giant tripod and basically shot away.  I had the feeling that a lot of the photos would look repetitive, so i started restraining myself halfway through. 

After reviewing the photos, i kind of regret it though;  seems like each photo is same same but rather different.  Well, you decide...
