Some hours after the parade, there are also Fourth of July fireworks in Edgartown. I will be completely honest and say they aren’t as good as the August fireworks in Oak Bluffs, but it was still a good show.
I used a dock post as a tripod, opened the shutter for half a second at f/2.8, and this happened:
More interested in taking picture of people taking pictures than in the fireworks themselves…
I sat on the luggage rack of the bus on the ride home because it was so crowded inside:
I love the kid taking a picture of the fireworks! You used the available light perfectly!

Love that first photo, Ivy!
