Firework display

There are ample opportunities to view firework display during major festivities such as New Year Eves, National Day Celebration and Lunar New Year Spring Festival.

When we were still staying in Choa Chu Kang, we used to time our drive out to Sheares Bridge, just in time to view the firework show (typically at 8pm) during National Day Celebration. Usually, the bridge would be jammed pack with vehicles, stopping or driving slowly to view the firework.

Since moving into Dakota Crescent, we can view firework display from our balcony. In fact, we have been seeing the firework show at nauseum, that we hardly give it a thought nowadays.

It was different this year - I was keen to capture a few snapshots of the fireworks with my new camera. Viewed Youtube for guide on taking photos of firework, bought a tall and steady tripod, got a remote control for taking photos (to minimize camera shake), took a few trial shots of the scenes without firework ... all set and ready.

Somehow, the firework show started quite late, about 8.20-8.30pm (not the usual 8pm). Nevertheless, managed to capture snap shots of the fireworks ....








Quite happy with the photos.
