I write to you from Hotel Intercontinental where I&#8217;m staying for Mardi Gras. I managed to skip celebrating for the past two years for reasons that I really don&#8217;t remember right now, but am happy I decided to partake in the sights, sounds(and smell) of Mardi Gras.<\/p>\n<p>When the day began I knew what I wanted to capture early on so there was not much to think about in the terms of my thought process. It had been several years since I had photographed the New Orleans skyline and what better occasion then Lundi Gras, right. Off to the West Bank I go armed with nothing more than my old 10d and a tripod. I set up my tripod on the levee of the West Bank and began to shoot several frames. After about 15 minutes of shooting, I felt like I had enough to make a decision on what I wanted to keep so I climbed down the levee when all of a sudden, I heard the sounds of fireworks! WOW! I immediately made my way back to the top of this hill and found a nice vantage point where I could frame the fireworks nicely over the city. I was losing light very quickly so I had to work fast! I grabbed a few more frames until the finale and was satisfied of my capture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/nytphoto.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/crw_8969.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nytphoto.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/crw_8969.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/nytphoto.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/crw_8962.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/nytphoto.files.wordpress.com\/2009\/02\/crw_8962.jpg?w=300\" alt=\"\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I made it back home on the afternoon of Mardi Gras and loaded the images on my pc.
