Martini Winery Fireworks

Martini Winery Fireworks Show - July 4, 2002 St. Helena, CA. , July 4, 2002
Hello! This was my second year helping out with the fireworks show. I could not imagine the show being any better than last year, but it was. "Boom Boom Billy" really did a great job. Taking some advice from Bill and "doing something you really like," I thought I'd bring my digital camera along and record some of the events of the day (and night). I have included a picture gallery of stills that has my very first attempt at capturing fireworks with a still camera. Boy is that a lot harder than it looks! Enjoy, Art	Picture Gallery (60 pics) (Picture Gallery) Pictures from the setup, wiring and placing of shells. You can click on the thumbnail pictures in the gallery to enlarge the images.
