Singapore Fireworks Festival Episode 3 : The Frustrated One.

Now i know how crowded it is to be @ esplanade area. We arrived at around 8pm. Didnt realise it was still quite early, so i mounted my tripod away from the railing, hoping to get a composed view of the fireworks with the esplanade in the frame. Damn i was so wrong. Not only that the crowd blocked my foreground subjects, I also aimed my viewfinder at the wrong portion of the sky. There was this iritating guy that keep coming into my shots too. Damn f*cktard. To the inconsiderate b*st*rd that kept kicking my tripod leg accidentally, I can see that u're holding a dslr but please. If you come late, dun try to squeeze in btwn the crowd and try to steal a snaps of the fireworks right infront of my camera. Basket. i really felt like giving him a swing. If only i had a monopod with me. Then again, it didnt matter coz the view really sucks today. Oh well, I guess it'll be marina city park again tmr. Dont wanna waste my last opportunity of capturing fireworks this year.

Here are some of todays take.









Well it wasnt that bad. I have to agree with ezza and wan tt the colours were nicer today. Apart from 2 wasties being MIA. I guess having to meet shila, iffah and huda kinda offset the day. The smoke was quite thick when shooting closer the fireworks. Shooting from a distance is much better. Not only the crowd would be less, the fireworks looks much better too @ marina. my mom wanna see the fireworks tmr. hope she dun bubble me last minute =
