Since I couldn't shoot the fireworks this year from my desired location (Alcatraz Island), I had to find an alternative.  Thanks to the Marin County Fair for having a decent display each night for five nights, I was able to shoot two different locations.  So while I couldn't shoot from Alcatraz which would have been the ideal vantage point for a "Day and Night" image, I was still able to try out the concept above the Marin Civic Center and also enjoy the the fourth sailing on the bay and watching the San Francisco fireworks from the water.  For this, I did my best and shot hand-held while the boat was bobbing in pretty rough waters.  Definitely a challenge but I did manage to get a few fairly sharp images.
