Living in the mountains - Eye Level with the fireworks

 Here in the mountains, we live next to a huge gambling area, a mini Las Vegas if you will - Black Hawk. They try to hold the biggest fireworks in Colorado.

This year we drove up to eye level to the fireworks! What a view!

The very first year I knew what I was doing with photography, but I forgot to research the best "settings" to take fireworks! At least I remembered my tripod. So the 30 minutes was mostly trial and error. :)

Really cool picture! I'm envious of your Colorado mountains life. We were thisclose to moving to Denver, but the real estate costs stopped us. You do have live in some amazing scenery.
