Chicago canceled its fireworks, as did Evanston (where I live) but I heard that Wilmette was having theirs less than a day before. So I went and set up across the street from the temple, hoping to get it as my foreground. But as it started, it was obvious that I had too much foliage in front that was cutting off the fireworks so I had to run around with the tripod and camera to try to find a composition that would work. Whew!
spectacular! i don't know why i never saw this on my home feed before. (ah, i know, i have three followers who mass upload three times a day!) this is an incredible shot, junko! aces! (saw this at the top of the curated page.)
@iris52 You don't live close to me do you?? Or you are planning to make a visit out here? If you do, please be sure to contact me ahead of time so we can make plans to meet up
@jyokota no, sorry. I live in Oregon. I've visited the temple a few times (I am Baha'i) and I will make sure to contact you next time. Thanks! It'd be fun to meet and shoot together. Same if you ever come to Portland.
@iris52 I live 10 minutes from the Baha'i Temple and my office used to be a short walk away. And yes, we can plan so many photowalks around here! Taffy and Rosie Kerr and I went to visit Jane Pittenger a few years ago and loved Oregon. I definitely plan to return!
