When you're not a professional photographer...

...you're lucky to get a good photo of July 4 fireworks.  I've decided that as long as any photo I take of fireworks actually contains fireworks that aren't blurry, the picture is a success.  I imagine a lot of amateur photographers think that way.  Case in point:

July 4, 2007: Fireworks over downtown Kirkwood.  They're there, if you look closely.  My alternative was to post a photo of the night sky with the caption, "Just before I took this photo, there was a colorful medley of smiley faces in the sky.  You can't see them here, but just imagine them."

Good luck to anyone taking photos of any fireworks display tonight.
