Tonight, I made my first attempt at photographing fireworks. The fireworks display was part of a large outdoor party thrown by Faith Promise Church on the campus of Pellissippi State Technical Community College. I set up my tripod and camera on a hill overlooking the campus. I used a 3 to 6 second exposure for these shots. I had a lot of fun and I'm pretty happy with how the images came out. I hope you like them too.

Secret City Festival - WWII Reinactment
The Secret City Festival was recently held in Oak Ridge, TN. This year the festival featured a WWII living history encampment as well as a small skirmish reinactment between Allied forces and German SS forces. After the skirmish, the public could walk through the battle area and the camps and get an up-close view of the period uniforms, vehicles, and camps for the soldiers. These reinactors spend a lot of effort getting the details accurate and it really is like stepping back into a living history. Below is slideshow that features the Allied troops in the first half and the German troops towards the end.
