I'm either late for the 4th of July or early for New Year's day.
This was taken at the compton heights reservoir, which is a new
location I tried for the Independence day photos. I liked the way the
shot was framed by the trees (and the peek-a-boo fireworks in the
trees).
Exposure time 8 sec. 35mm equivalent 340mm

What a really great shot. I do like the way the trees frame the picture. It gives it a different look. I really like that the arch is in the picture. I have wanted to get a picture of this for a long time. I will try again some day. Again great job.

Fabulous shot. I tried to find a really good spot to shoot in St. Louis. Just didnt work out. You did a great job!

Another spot I like is a Kiener Plaza - this one is a couple years old, but has been featured on the KWMU website.
