More Cincinnati Reds Fireworks 22-Jun-12

That's it for the fireworks. Next event isn't for 3 weeks. :( I've also figured out how to crop these without losing the quality. Every time you save a JPG file the quality becomes less and less. I have a program that will allow me to edit on TIFF files then converted to JPGS. Although TIFF files are very large files and will take more hard drive space it is worth it. The photos below are not cropped yet, I haven't made up my mind yet if I am going to crop these or wait until the next firework event.

A Few More From Tonights Fireworks

This is it for now, I am so tired, I still have quite a few that came out so I will post the rest in the morning. Hope you enjoy. On the left of the brighter photos you can make out the silhouette of a tree, another error I totally missed. IMO it is a distraction. I'll have to be careful the next time I am there. I did a sloppy job this time around.

Cincinnati Reds Firework Friday 22-Jun-12

Hang in there much more to come.

I made a small but obvious error on the photos above. I cut out the river all together, I'm glad I noticed it, in all honesty it just doesn't look right without at least some of the river exposed like the photo below.

Moon, Boats and the Ohio River

There was a boat load (no pun intended) of boats on the river tonight to watch the fireworks. The moon made the photo perfect. The boats are a little blurry because I did a 10 second exposure, I like it that way.

Fireworks

Heading on out to photograph some fireworks...STAY TUNED!

Sorry about the quality of this photo, it is heavily cropped. I was taking a photo of the Great American Tower which also included a part of this building. I could barely make it out but I think the guy in this photo was taunting me, I heard "hey you photographer" or something like that, since I was the only photographer around at the time I can only assume he was talking to me, then an old talent of mine came back to life, I was able to easily block everything else he said out. Goodbye annoying one. I did make sure before I left that I faced the camera right at him as though I was taking a photo of him. I wouldn't want to waste another pixel on this dork. Something tells me I forgot to take my happy pill today. LOL

Back to Smale Park

Headed back to the park again this evening. Parking was a little bit of an issue but eventually I found a free spot again. If you haven't checked this park out yet you really need to. For those of you that are not quite sure how to pronounce the name of the park...take the word mail and put an S in front of it...sounds like Smail.

You can tell by the tree it was a little breezy out tonight. I can't wait until the fence comes down, it really takes away from the photo.

I would pack it all up to move here.

Reds fan maybe?  Lets Play Ball!!!

If you look closely half way up the Freedom Center you can make out an orange light, that is a fire they have going all the time, I'm assuming (and I am not the sharpest tool in shed) that it has something to do with representing freedom. It's kinda cool.
