I am here at cliffer pier and there will be fireworks today. Will monitor timing and post here. Note: esplanade bridge is covered with canvas, please find other location. Mondays rehearsal is cancelled due to rain but yesterday I don't know.

 

[ericlin81]

Something is wrong, till now no fireworks. Keeps see the pyrotechnics guy coming in and out of the command room.

 

[ericlin81]

It is almost 11pm and still no fireworks. I am giving up.

 

[glgl96]

so will there be fireworks tmr? anyone can confirm? n which areas will be closed?

needa know early so i can leave work early tmr.

 

[ericlin81]

There will be fireworks cause during the rehearsal, there is helicopter circling the sky and during certain segment of the show, the hippo boats are stopped. So all this signs suggest that there are fireworks but just don't know why today they can trigger the fireworks. As far as I know, only esplanade bridge is blocked.

Possible location:

esplanade waterfront - MBS as background

esplanade bridge - blocked with canvas

Merlion water front - Firework directly above MBS (wide angle lens is a must)

along One Fullenton waterfront - wide angle lens is recommended

Cliffer pier - Firework will be above floating platfrom. May capture MBS, Flyer and floating platfrom as background or esplanade to Flyer.

Marina waterfront - esplanade to Flyer as background. Wide angle lens not needed. Space is limited.

Marina barrage - not recommend as fireworks are in line with MBS.

MBS waterfront - CBD as background, wide angle lens maybe required unless Fullframe.

Helix brigde - one fullenton to NTUC building as background. Will be able to capture main fireworks and small fireworks from NTUC building and others, wide angle lens is required to capture fireworks from buildings.

When the about location required wide angle lens, it means lens that are under 17mm. If yours are 17mm above than find a location that doesn't need wide angle lens. Statement Not applicable for Full frame.

Good luck.
