My first time going up to the sky park of MBS. Awesome view of the city, and an even more awesome view of the fireworks. $20 well spent!

Nope, didn't photoshop them away. In fact, the ledge can still be seen at the bottom right corner.
For those who pm-ed me or if you are wondering if I used a tripod, the answer is no. I saw on edutilos's thread that using a clamp there was considered 'legal', so that's what I did too. I saw about 2 or 3 guys using tripod, but I suspect they were part of the media team or something, because there was even a videocam. The security only stopped people from sitting on the floor, nothing was said about my clamp which was at the same position from 7pm-8.30pm. It attracted quite a bit of attention though. :bsmilie:

Not sure what you mean, there weren't any metal wires here in the first place. Not much PP was done on this shot.

But I got chased away by security for shooting here, not sure how come so many other CSers were able to shoot here lol.

Today, I decided to try out a new technique for shooting fireworks. There are very few examples on the internet, so I'm not sure if I would be able to get it right the first time. This was my 3rd week in a row shooting the fireworks, so I was fine if I didn't manage to get any keeper shots. Luckily, I managed to get some successful shots!

Thank you! These were done by refocusing during the exposure.

It has been 2 months since I last shot a sunset or sunrise. Finally managed to squeeze some time to go for a sunset shoot. Sadly, it was a gloomy sunset, unlike the spectacular ones that I have seen over the past weeks. Oh well, at least there was enough clear skies for a nice blue hour.

Blue hour at Bishan Park. Just minutes before this shot, there were still many kids playing around on the rocks and in the water, luckily they left just as it turned dark!

An earlier shot of #74. These were the kids that I mentioned in that post, who disturbed the calmness of the water.
