This year for the Fourth of July, we went to a free celebration downtown at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. We found the location online, and thought, "Hey it's free, and it says the show is 60 minutes long." We figured that had to be an over-statement, but we were soo wrong.
Before the fireworks began, there was an ongoing concert and booths with food and such. And then the fireworks started. We got to use our new camera (we had just bought it that day) to capture some of the fireworks.
This one looks kinda like those seagulls you would draw far away in the sky when you were a kid.
We found out quite quickly that taking your own pictures of fireworks doesn't really turn out like those you see elsewhere.
It was surprisingly difficult to get pictures of the fireworks because you had to time it just right. We had plenty of pictures of blackness or afterglow because we had pushed the button too slow.
This one kinda looks like a dragonfly.
They had a variety of fireworks, including the double colored ones.
This one looks neat, albeit a little creepy, like hands or something.
If you could read that, it says Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The fireworks were shot right in front of this building, and we sat on the lawn in front of that.
Even though we thought the fireworks were going to be 20-30 minutes, the show actually lasted around 70 minutes. We were amazed. We both had never been to one that was so long. And for the price, you just can't beat that. We've decided that when we're back in LA for the Fourth, we'll go back there.
