Marietta Sternwheel Festival, Ohio
I have never been in a crowd of so many people in my life! Luckily, I found a place to set up my tripod in a small space between a momument and a bush so that people would not bump into me during the long exposures needed for the fireworks. In this one the fireworks were being shot off at either end of the line of sternwheelers and exploding over top of them, a trick I had never seen done! Although I do not like people in my pictures, there was no avoiding the crowd here and I kind of liked the couple in the foreground of this one watching the show.
