Camera notes: These were taken at the show in Leesburg, Virginia. I'm pleased with how they came out. My only complaint is that I didn't bring a sturdier tripod. The best ones came out using my wide angle Sigma zoom lens in manual mode with f/8, ISO 100, 4 second aperture, focused manually to infinity. I experimented going as low as 2 seconds on f/8, and as far as 6 second aperture on f/16, thereby putting less or more fireworks into the frame.
"If we are to have peace on earth ... our loyalties must transcend our race, our tribe, our class, and our nation; and this means we must develop a world perspective. No individual can live alone, no nation can live alone, and as long as we try, the more we are going to have war in this world. We must either learn to live together as brothers or we are all going to perish together as fools."
Martin Luther King, Jr. 1967
