where is this place?? Easily accessible without car? Dun feel like driving n get stuck in jam.

One of the nicer firework shots, with the CBD in the background.. very good composition.
I like.. haha

[tankm]

Thanks.

Details of the shooting location is in this thread (read page 1 if you are not interested with the whole thread) http://forums.clubsnap.org/showthread.php?t=213823

You can drive and park under the bridge and then walk from there. I walked till I reached the constructions site blockage. Spoken to the workers there and they said can drive up to construction site. Now that more people know of this place, expect slightly more people.

No people jam and traffic jam there. Peace and quiet until the fireworks start. Traffic jam when you reach the Fort road leading to highway.

I guess you're refering to picture no. 7 above?

That red high one was a sudden unexpectedly high and big one out of the blue in the midst of the fast actions, catching almost everyone by surprise.

Yaloh, I already frame at least double the height of the highest building,
but can only cover 70% of that firework only :

coverage of the threadstarter already better than mine

Thanks. #1 was with Minolta 17-35 f2.8-4. The rest of the shots were taken with Minolta 28-75 f2.8. Since you are refering to "L" lens, I assume you are using the Canon system. The Minolta 28-75 f2.8 is known to be very similar to the Tamron 28-75 f2.8, a well known lens.

Got 2 more FWs to experiment.

This a a real surprise, one big one. Unless we know what to expect, this is unavoidable. Either frame for smaller size FW or missed some larger one out of the frame.
