Joyce Meyer shot these Fireworks at The Riverside Park in Spillville. She said she was outside the park, because if she is too close it gets to smoky for photos. Joyce says she is constantly trying different types of shots from close up to far away with a background and liked that I got a reflection off of some cars when I backed off with her zoom. She uses a Canon Rebel xsi.

Fireworks explode over the Old Capitol building in downtown Iowa City Saturday July 4th, 2009. A large crowd attended a similar display at Kirkwood Community College in Cedar Rapids, where it was moved because of safety concerns in downtown CR, the normal site of the show. (Brian Ray/The Gazette)
