Firework Mania!

Happy Canada Day to you too! Decided to get out of the routine of spending July 1st in Steinbach and drove down to Vita, Manitoba with my Dad. We heard there was suppose to be an excellent firework show there this year.

We parked a ways away as with any party-ish event. We loaded up our gear and began scouting for a good location to shoot from. We found a spot on the edge of the field, but were soon chased away by the mozzies, who didn't care one snit we had deep woods on. Plus, we calculated that we may be under the fall out according to the direction of the wind anyway. So we packed back up, and moved to the pavement where we met some friends. They had some citronella candles burning so we decided to join them. All this took about an hour until the show started.

The fireworks began and there were cheers from all around. Oooo's and Awww's abundant. It was a great show and I was glad to try my hand at collecting some good firework shots. I took about 100 photos and these were my favorites.

Driving out to Vita was definitely worth the trip!
