Some shots of the Washington DC Independence Day fireworks from last night. These were taken near the Marine Corps. Memorial on the Virginia side. After 10 shots, they all looked the same.

Thank you Dan! This was only my second time to photograph the DC fireworks after living in this area for 25 years! My first time was at the same location in 2019 but I used landscape orientation vs portrait orientation this time. I think I like portrait orientation better. In 2019, before the fireworks started there was a flyover of a B-2, Blue Angels, F-15s, F-35s, F-22s, Apaches, and some other aircraft.
You will be happy to know when the fireworks exploded in the shape of "USA", there was a loud cheer from the crowd. I didn't get a picture of that because the "USA" shape only lasted very briefly, I wasn't quick enough to change the camera's settings.
Yes it is, in one of the corporate group hangars. The owner/pilots have approached me about hangar space in one of the CCHOA hangars. I was discussing the possibility at the Thunder Over Cedar Creek brief. Actually, I'd put it back in Glenn's hangar, seems only fitting.

Hi Dan,
But you can live the dream……. All you need is a medical, some flying skills, and a rather large pile of money……. and you could buy Art’s Sea Harrier + T9 twin seater + shed loads of spares. Your fair warning – It’s one of the earlier models – so you get to “enjoy” flying a tailplane that may have been assembled and / or repaired by me…… Not a good look!
BTW My current project with DXO and the Deep Prime noise reduction is being very productive. The Deep Prime feature is very processor intensive – read SLOW – so may not suit those of us with large volumes of work or deadlines to meet. The goodness in DXO also has a downside in that edge acutance can lead to sharpening haloes. So I use DXO as a noise reduction and lens profile - pre processor – before using the Lightroom develop module.
