Well, as it turned out they moved the fireworks display from downtown this year
to where I couldn't see them from the top of the parking garage.
I saw this article on PetaPixal:

Gave it a try. Haven't had time yet to look through the results. Didn't look
that good on the little TV screen on the back of the camera when I chimped some
of them. Maybe they'll be better once I get them up on the big screen.

Good idea about the fireworks. There is a place in Greenwich called Point
Hill, from where Julius Caesar reputedly surveyed what is now London, which
gives a fantastic view of the entire city. My first Guy Fawkes Night here I
took my LX up there and a tripod and got photos of bonfires and fireworks all
over Londinium.

Today is definitely different from all the other days.
I actually got a phone call from someone who wanted to talk to *ME* and not
just another name on some telemarketer's call list. I can't remember the
last time that happened. Months at least.
The other thing, I got an email this afternoon from Amazon to update me on
an order I placed a couple of weeks ago. They had a tracking number so I
could see where my order was in the delivery system. Very useful
... or it would be if the order hadn't already been delivered a week ago.
I'm already half way through the book.
I got a different idea for photographing the fireworks downtown this year.
I'm going to check out a vantage point where I can see the whole city
skyline from a distance - use my 300mm lens and still get big sky.
Don't know if it will work, but I already have hundreds (if not thousands)
of images of fireworks. They're all the same and they're all BLAH. I need
some new way of seeing them.
