Staycationing, part 4

Made my way over to the river bank to catch the annual Tama River fireworks display tonight.

This week's fireworks totally made up for last Saturday's logistical disasters. I'd planned to go either on my own or with a friend or two, but on Wednesday I was invited to join a big group that had already reserved their spot. Right up front!

I donned my yukata one more time, met up with my friends and then we made our way over toward the river. We enjoyed some food and snacks as we waited for the sun to go down.





Perfect weather and clear skies- the best viewing conditions.




Enjoy the show! (The photos are best towards the end.)






Playing with zoom.  This turned out to be one of my favorites...






In addition to a fantastic evening, this was also the first time I've had a really solid opportunity to practice taking pictures of fireworks with my new camera. I'm still a little green, so I was delighted to find that the camera does a pretty good job even without a lot of expertise. What do you think? Any tips for what to do next time?
