It's hot outside, time for some pretty explosions!

My daughter - such a photographer... she asked if she could use my camera and take some pictures. And, yes, I did hand $4000 worth of gear over a 10 year old - what was I thinking?!
And I said the shutter speed is kind of slow so you need to be really still.
So she takes the camera... and she shoots... and pans. What a brat!

Every year I don't take the tripod, thinking I'd rather just enjoy time with my family that worry about lugging extra gear around. And every year I'm glad I didn't take it until I start going through the photos. Ugh, they'd be so cool if I shot them properly.

Maybe next time...
