Be a happy camper

Bring a book and read while you camp.I think 6pm would be a good time to start staking out..the sun would be going down and the air is cooling..

My Day isa Sunday, bros ... and next day, Monday, is a public holiday. Expect a lot of ppl. So 6pm might be late already. Lesson learnt from last year's SFF.

Drudkh · 22nd April 2005

yeah... its gonna be crowded... go early to chop your best spot!

derricktsc · 22nd April 2005

4pm would be the best! If u dont want to squeeze wif other photographers on the bridge beside Esplanade on tat day, try to look for some other spots b4 tat day, but expect greater failure rate.

surf the event calenders in singapore like mad. lol.

uncleparty · 23rd April 2005

hhmm just curious, wouldnt wind direction and lights from the ground decide where we position ourselves?

i usually park myself half hour before it starts, somewhere ard the end of esplanade away from the bridge (opposite end from where vip stands are), or at clifford pier inside there got one big empty piece of concrete "park". depending on the wind.

never experienced a crowd prob cos everyone also just point upwards...lol.

sorry uncle but you're not ahering to the status quo this way. you need to be "kiasu" and reserve place. you won't believe it but the more people there are on the ground, the more conjested the sky would get.

shame on you, so it seems.

I never photographed any fireworks before. But I got an idea to observe some video records of it so I can learn and recognize its nature before I catch the real one. What do you think?

yanyewkay · 25th April 2005

no point.. just go down with some of the regulars here.. learn better and faster. Nothing beats hands-on trying. Fireworks dun happen every week or often here.
