July Assignment Patriotism

[F, Calla & Luca]

Today is Canada Day and July 4th is in a few days, Bastille Day is around the corner and I'm sure there are many more be it in Bangkok or Belgium. So let's celebrate our national pride with patriotic themed pictures. Unusual variations on this theme especially welcome.

As I recall you had some fabulous firework pictures a while back Nancie : )

Why yes I did F.  I hope to find an unobstructed place to try again this year.  The tips are pretty much what I was doing other than they say to add some shore line or landscaping to tell the story.

I've been studying your photos/settings and tips from your amazing firework photos, hopefully I get some good ones this year!

We all have much to celebrate and much to be Patriotic for!  I celebrate our Freedom and the fact that my son is serving his 14th year in the military as an Interpretor/Teacher of Farsi (a Persian language).  So proud of our military men & woman who represent and defend us!

Love the gorgeous photo of Luce. Luca was named after luce, meaning light in Italian. I didn't realize at the time that it was a common Italian name.
