The night of July 30th kicked off the annual Fiesta de Flores here in Medellín, Colombia. It's Medellín's biggest festival of the year and one not to miss if you are in the area the first week of August.
The fireworks were launched off the top of this building next to the concert stage.
Every day, something different is going on, from horse parades to car shows, street parties, and lots and lots of drinking and eating!
To kick off the festival, they had live music downtown, with a fireworks show at the end. Below are the photos I took that night, all shot with my travel camera.
I dragged my expensive tripod down there too (hoping it wouldn't get stolen) to get some nice long exposures, but forgot the clamp to mount the camera to the tripod.
I cursed myself for such a rookie mistake, but I still got a few good photographs despite the low light and having to handhold the camera.
... but something tells me that if the insurance company knew this, they would flip!
10 minutes after this photo was taken, it started to really pour. If you had an umbrella, it was a great way to get close to a girl. Note to Self: Carry an umbrella at all times!
