Best Laid Plans

We'd (Andie, Junko, me) been planning this photo event for a month or more, and watching the weather anxiously. Despite fog rolling in, we kept our hopes up. As it neared the fireworks starting time of 9:45, fog thickened in the EXACT spot where the fireworks would be. We could hear them in all their grandeur but this was the only view we had and it lasted for only a few seconds. I was lucky to be camera ready and pointing in the right direction when one of the first ones peeked over the fog. Last week's practice session paid off. Looks better on black for those who have time.

Stunning on black. So beautiful. May I say, one more time, that the Chicago TV stations should see your images, they would show them on every newscast.

The fireworks capture is awesome but even without it, the fountain is gorgeous and so beautifully captured ~ fav

Who cares about the fireworks if you have that silky fountain water... and I dare say the firework poking out of the fog is much more interesting that ordinary fireworks shots!
June 6th, 2019  
Great capture and beautiful colors even if there was fog.
June 6th, 2019  
Still an interesting night shot with the different soft colour
June 6th, 2019  
The fountain, all on its own, is enough to make this image memorable.

Forgot to say how much I liked the way you've blurred the water in and around the fountain.
