Day #1: Happy new year!!!!

What better way to start and ring in the new year with fireworks! Last year I attempted to make photos of the fireworks, but well I think of all the 100 photos I took, there were only a few I really loved. So this year I was prepared!! I brought my tripod, had my ISO on 1600 and had a long shutter time setup. Well it worked... this year I only took like 60, but there were over 40 that are really awsome. So you can imagine it was really hard to choose just one. I choose this one because I love the colors and the 'star' effect on this photo.
