Next time give me a ring in advance, I'll share with you what I know, you share with me your location...

[scanner]

Wah pro, never invite me to shoot togather...

[marky]

Me not pro.. but i think the crop is abit too tight...

[Clockunder]

I think it's probably taken from Riverwalk Apartments opposite Boat Quay.

did you use a tripod? I tried taking some pictues with a F31fd without a tripod and it's an diasaster....

is there anyway to take a clear sharp picture without a tripod?

I think that's the place too. Cos the clock towel is captured in the photo too. Anyway, nice angle & nice pics too. Thks for sharing here dude in the year 2007! Cheers to all!

almost all of my fireworks pictures turned out this way as well.... here's some of mine...









only this is taken with an embarrassing mini tripod...


it doesn't seems to make much sense to buy a tripod for a point and shoot camera..hahaa..

Why not? Tripod can help to take night shots. Many PNS has Tv mode, maybe not bulb mode. Tv mode or 'night' mode is good enough in many cases. Tripod helps when there's no wall/ledge/bag to put your PNS camera onto.

PNS would be tricky for Fireworks as there'll usually no bulb mode where you can control the shutter release. There's other night shoot opportunities besides Fireworks.
