Be Prepared

Be Prepared. I believe that is the motto of the Boy Scouts of America. Well, last night I went to shoot fireworks and I thought I was prepared.

Yahoo!!

The Calgary Stampede officially kicked off today with a parade through the heart of the city. An estimated 350,000 people lined the downtown streets to take in the spectacle. Wow! Lucky for me it travels right past my place so a quick trip down the elevator is all it takes to get in on the action and make some photographs.

Happy Canada Day!

Being Canada Day today I thought it was appropriate to go out and shoot some fireworks pictures.

I knew where the fireworks were being fired from but I didn't exactly know where the best vantage point would be so I guessed. I guessed wrong.
