Mostly, these are fireworks shot using the fireworks setting in our camera.  I was pleasantly surprised!  I basically laid down and held the camera on my chest, occasionally checking to see that I got something.  I shot 70 plus pictures.  Here’s a couple.
 
I met Dani, with her friends Emily and Mary and Emily’s family, near the Washington memorial.  Quite a feat on July 4th in DC.
 
Note Mary with the unknown guy.  He asked her to videotape, on his camera, he and his family.  She did that and more, randomly interviewing people on why they were there and where they came from!!!
