July 4th Fireworks at Lake Reba

Well, I braved the crowds of the Lake Reba 4th of July Show again this year. It didn't seem quite as crowded this year as a threat of rain loomed, but it was still very crowded. I tried to pick a good spot for some photos as Angie decided to wait in line for around an hour for those tasty funnel cakes. I decided to go to the end of the pier for the shots, as quite a few other photographers did. I started setting up next to another Nikonian, who lusted after my D300 while I lusted after his 12-24mm Sigma. I also quickly realized how cool his little flashlight was as I couldn't see anything. Anyway, the fireworks came and as usual it was a good show. They still claim to be the biggest fireworks show in Kentucky next to Thunder over Louisville. You never realize how big they really are until they go off. I could have used a wider lens during the finally as I couldn't squeeze it all in. A cable release would have been nice too. Ah well. Here are a few of the ones I like best.
