On New Year Eve evening at around 7pm, gather at Raffles Place MRT station for shooting fireworks. This was my very first time shooting fireworks for new year. We all proceeded to Lau Pa Sat for dinner. I brought my 400D and tripod for shooting fireworks and my dad's point and shoot photo/video camera to record video.
We all went to an big open area opposite NTUC Building to get the nice photos of Fireworks and Singapore skyline. We reached there at about 8pm. Some people already camped and reserved the best spots already. We walked to a place near the fence at waterfront, positioned our tripods and put our cameras ready for shooting fireworks. Need to stand there and wait for about 4 hours there while chit-chatting and listening to some jokes from Serena and Keiwee. Suan Yang walked around the Esplanade area to shoot for Eye in the City photo competition. Dickson was also taking photos of people using his L-lenses for Marina Bay Competition.
The wind was very strong at sometimes there.
As the clock ticking near to the 12 hour mark, the crowd became bigger and they squeezed near to the front, some aiming cameras to the skyline and all anticipating the start of the fireworks and beginning of the new year.
I couldn't remember the exact time when the first firework came out. I guess it may be around 12 midnight. As soons as I saw the first lights and sound of the fireworks, I started clicking the shutter release button to take photos. Took lots of pictures continuously during the show. Thanks Deb for helping me take video of the fireworks! The duration of the firework show was about 8 minutes.
Now it's the time for sharing a video that I edited.
And photos....
