Central Park in Santa Clara. I can honestly say the county spared no $ to put on a class "A" show. We got there at 4pm and laid some blankets and chairs but by 9pm it was so crowded, almost standing room only. Here are a few pics.

The crowd scenes are low light.

 

wow excellent pictures.

i didnt get to see any major firework displays this year.

 

pics came out great!!

 

Whats the weather like there this time of year? A lot of those people had sweaters/long sleeve shirts on

 

yeah, surprisingly it was a bit chilly, maybe low 70's? Breezy. I was wearing shorts and a sweatshirt.

 

Thank you! It was my first attempt at night shooting, I had an idea of aperature and speeds but tried a few things. I took 378 shots. More are here on my Flickr if interested.

Wow I need to move up there. Its hot and humid/sticky night or day here. Nice pictures-my camera wouldnt do anywhere near that good I bet.

 

it's a used (4000 actuations) Nikon D60. The D3000 is the modern equivalent and at $450 not a bad deal for a baseline DSLR. I am thinking of a new D300s for Christmas

 

Looks like a fun time

My wife popped fireworks for the first time in here life Sunday, it was funny as hell seeing a 7 month pregnant woman hopping around like a little kid
