    \n
  • Go on deck: If you get a chance to climb aboard some of the tall ships, look for interesting details as well as dramatic shots looking up the masts and the complex rigging.<\/li>\n
  • Fireworks: With fireworks lighting up the river and the majestic tall ships, it goes without saying that this is a perfect photo opportunity. Arrive early to scout out the best location along the river.<\/li>\n
