Thanks for your comments. Yes, I'm firing it for NDP before...

when i took a couple of shots, think i spotted a girl with a cam behind the guns (not far from the tent), she might have a good view down there. i was hoping to catch a shot of the gun firing off with the flash just out of the turret, but no luck. However i spotted one canon user shooting away in continuous mode non stop for very long, maybe he hot a shot of it. ... then again i doubt, cos the interval not easy to determine. unless of course he has buffer size capable of more than 1000 shots! with his cam.

I used the sigma 70-300 in my attempts.. not the best lens to shoot at that time, especially with the challenging lighting(sun setting), hand shakes and vibration from the bridge...

This is my attempt... heaven and earth from yours...

Ok...it look like u need to get Canon lens 70-300 DO IS...but maybe with a extender add on might be better...

manage to shoot one with the flash (over one hundred plus shoots ), but the picture not as clear.
Did you PS away the black pole? I find mine quite distracting, but don't know how to do it, I just adjust the level a bit only.

lucky enough to get one also, last year NDP.

Great timing from u...I just trying my luck only to shoot it when I saw the flame...slow reaction from my eye-brain-finger...

I did not saw the pole as I'm standing very far right of that bridge.

Eh.. i was the BSM that year for the actual day as well as some of the rehearsals. Have any pictures of me or not (I'm the Chinese one with the pace stick, the Indian one is my regular BSM). lol

[Yildun]

I was wondering y no one thought of using a smaller aperture and using an exposure time of a few seconds. Possible, yes?

[mygdi]

Hey...I 've got a similar shot too.
Anyway nice color and contrast
