Castle Rock Fireworks

by TonyLazz

For the second year in a row, I took a ride down to Castle Rock, Co to photograph their fireworks display. Here are a few of the over 200 images I shot that night. As a general rule, camera settings are as follows: ISO 100, f5.6, 4 secs exposure, and I shoot continuous mode. Taking advantage of the Sony Play Memories app, I can dial in the settings, set the focus, and set the shutter slider to on. I can then sit back and enjoy the show.

Independence Eve in Denver

by TonyLazz

Since 2010, the Civic Center Conservancy and the City and County of Denver has hosted an Independence Eve celebration in Civic Center Park. It seems to get larger every year and crowds are estimated at over 100,000. The concert this year featured performances by Soul X (#soulxband) and the 101st Army Band of the Colorado National Guard. Governor Hickenlooper helped kick off the evening welcoming everyone.

The images below are phone shots from my Nexus5x with a bit of post in Lightroom CC. I put the big camera aside and enjoy the evening with family. My granddaughter throughly enjoyed the music and fireworks and stayed through the entire event. It’s such a pleasure to see the joy in a child’s eyes.
