First one is swee!

Colours in second one more variance, but shape not so nice, and a bit cluttered.

LeoDaddy · 29th July 2007

Hi, Friend:

You went to the same place as last year !!!

Excellent !!!!

Will go there on actually day !

Good morning my Friend

Was torn between going to ME vs where you were. Decided to head for ME again for two reasons....wind direction and the building's FW. At least the effort was not wasted. Cheers and happy shooting on actual day

This is good spot, may I know how to go there ?

phoakm · 29th July 2007

Nice!

Canew · 29th July 2007

Jer, nicely captures. Job well done.

Madmax · 29th July 2007

Black card technique?

Bored Dad · 29th July 2007

Oh man, compared to the series of fire work shots posted in here by few pros, to mine... I felt so ashamed to post my fire work shots here already... Cause mine were 'clouded' with too much smoke...

Great shots! Like them all... Any PP done?

Madmax · 29th July 2007

One more question. The CDB skyline looks underexposed and not warm. What WB did you set?

wranger · 29th July 2007

I like the first pix. Nice.

orislee · 29th July 2007

Hi, can share the location and the settings that you are using?

I may go there during the fireworks festival on 17 and 18 Aug.

Good evening to everyone,

Tks for the comments and views.

Ans to some of the qn

Yes, I used black card technique

WB was changed to Incandescent during PP to bring down the red/orange cast as I perfer a cooler sky

Shots were taken at f16

The building looks a little underexpo as I need to mask off the smoke...no choice

As for the loc, head for Tanjung Rhu where the last condo facing CBD is, and walk from the water edge. Need to do a bit of obstacle clearing and becareful dont fall into the sea as the whole place is boardup for park development. Good luck walking there

I guessed most of the settings from the pics, except Incandescent.

For Black Card, how do you use ? Can explain a bit more.

Was used Bulk with a cable release. So, one hand for release, another for black card. How far the black card to lens ? Will try next time.

Parking at Tanjung Rhu is a problem ? Any bus ?

Thnx, Jer !

tunghk · 29th July 2007

But can continue to provide you guys with the latest weather update though....At least that makes me part of the team....

Sharing wat I did wrt to the black card technique:
Use cable release to control the shutter in bulb mode and lock the release.

Use either one hand or both hands to hold on to the black card.

Make sure it is big enough to cover the entire lens (including the Hood) and hold it infront of the lens without causing movt ie not touching the lens

The rest is up to your imagination when you want to open or cover.

Practice a few time and you will get use to the routine. Afterall, still have SFF2007 to shoot the following week

As for bus svc there, not too sure of it Anyway, arrange to park where we meet last year...hahaha

Cheers and happy shooting
