A bright flash
August 12, 2008
When all’s said and done, nothing beats watching the Yodogawa fireworks (August 9 annually) from my very own apartment. I open the window and get a very good view. The view can’t come close to my mother in-law’s place but I’m most relaxed in my own domain.
Since my camera is down I played around with the webcamera to capture a few shots. They all turned out terribly but this shot looked interesting. It looked like a nuclear blast or the Ultima spell in Final Fantasy. This was the closing salvo of fireworks and was supposed to many many bright white sparkles in the sky.
On a side note, the awesome Fuji Service Center in Hommachi is currently repairing my camera! Looking around online, Fuji apparently installed a faulty CCD and will replace it for free. Also I’ve asked for a replacement internal battery so I don’t have to keep changing the damn date each time I take out and replace the regular batteries. The old gentleman working at this very quiet office was one of the nicest working people I’ve met in a long time. What a champ.
