Hi people,

if u all intend to go up to the bridge on 1st May, I suggest u all bring some rope to tie ur tripod to a lamp post or the railling.... that bridge rocks like nobody biz...

I have seen many shots with fireworks and the skylines, but I have not seen photos with fireworks and the bottom of the bridge. It should be quite interesting, because I don't know how to get the exposure right... kekeke...

 

[arowana]

So confirm its on the bridge or ?

 

[Josephteo548]

The Bridge rocks?

So far the shooting venue is on the bridge, but open to other suggestions for taking the fireworks.

Wah Lau eh... this Francis...

The bridge vibrates whenever a heavy vehicle drives on it. either on the side towards ECP, or the other way towards AYE.

The vibration is not much, but will cause softness in the shot hahahah.. like mini handshake.

I am guessing a nice place would be close to the grass patch, although safety is a major issue as its really near the firing site.

Alternatives is to take from the river bank area last used for the river ang pao events.

Yet another alternative is to take from the Fullerton bridge road area. If you want to capture purely only fireworks.

Another champion shot is taken from behind the merlion, where you get merlion spewing water, and the fireworks above it.

Wah, too many places also headache, don't know which is the best liao..
Left 2 days to decide...
If not the bridge, my wife and baby might follow along too..

 

[sinlg]

[Josephteo548]

any babes going along?

Babes ah.....dun think so.. :cry:
Maybe the most, only have baby(Don's) :bsmilie:
Don, your baby boy or girl?
If girl then, we have a very young babe. ;p

The shooting place so far is still the bridge.......any objections? Seem to be the best place so far. Actually like what Ricky said, shoot at the merlion there also good, but i scared what too crowded by people.

There are 2 options... since we are shooting digital - can use the blending technique shown to us by chuan ye. Where you dun care abot the merlion, just shoot fireworks first, then after that. take a well exposed shot of merlion, then do digital magic lor.

If you like to be traditional, can get gradual filters to shoot.
