Lots and lots of food was consumed. I way over ate and will be paying for it for years to come. We hung out for several hours so we could walk to the park and watch the fireworks. I love fireworks, I especially love photographing fireworks. This year I went under prepared. All I brought was my little point and shoot. While it may not be the greatest camera in the world, it served it’s purpose. Like they say, “the best camera is the one you have with you.”

Because it is a point and shoot, I didn’t have near the control I am used to. This led to some interesting effects, or as I call them, happy accidents. Such as this shot which sort of looks like a galaxy. I was shooting handheld which caused squiggles and the glowing white orb bottom right is a street light. When you get to the party late you get stuck with an obstructed view.

Yet another one resembling a galaxy, the squiggles are more pronounced in this one.

This one just looked cool!

Last but not least the colors in this one were nice.

I would have loved to show you a shot of the finale but it was several bursts ran together so the photo is just a burnt out mess.

See ya later!

Our friends decided to have a little party for us all to enjoy the beginning of a new season, and the last season. It was a great party, for Lost fans. The show was excellent. It left me with more questions than answers. I am both eager and reluctant for the show to end. While I want to understand what is going on, I have come to really enjoy many of the characters on the show and I am more than likely going to miss them when all is said and done.

They went all out for the party, they even made themed decorations, man we’re geeks.
