Fireworks from an ulu location.

Prismatic · 1st January 2007

Thought of trying this place after hearing about it from some other CSer. There's a clear nice view of the fireworks, and there are plenty of space to go around, but I guess I sucks at fireworks. Gotten all the timings wrong. Oh well, better luck next time then.

Nice work bro.

I liked #3 and #4, can see the Singapore skyline as a backdrop.
Care to share your ulu location ?

Is it from that newly opened golf course ? I guess so.

Madmax · 3rd January 2007

Nice shots...I don't think these were taken from East Coast Park.

kangmf · 3rd January 2007

I think they are shot from East Coast Park, near Tanjong Rhu area.

Prismatic · 3rd January 2007

It's actually Marina East area.
And nope, I'm not Alvin. But he's the boy beside me trying to use an umbrella for his D80.^^

Can tell me what settings you used to take fireworks?
My fireworks pics always got the surrounding smoke that destroy the whole thing.

No wonder, location looks the same.

Were there a lot of people? I was at Marina Bay, almost sandwiched.

Quite a number of people shot from Marina East last August during the Fireworks Festival.

Good facing (the more you move leftwards, the more perpendicular you're to the fireworks firing points) and good CBD as background. Ample space for many people to shoot and don't have to arrive a few hours early to get a good shooting location. Away from the jostle and bustle from non-photographers.

The negatives about shooting from there is that one cannot enjoy the atmosphere of the event and the colour balls in the water cannot be captured in the pictures.

I'd like to ask, whether there's SFF every year, thanks.

All depends on whether there are sponsors!
