Anyone has any idea where would be a good place to shoot?? I bet there will be loads of people crowding both sides of Orchard Rd, so might need to claim a good spot early.

Hmm, if you have a very powerful zoom and have a stable and heavy tripod, perhaps you could shoot from the Shaw House carpark for a top-down view.Other than that, everything involves an early stake-out i guess, and mobility during the parade will be atrocious.

visit www.sony.com.sg/sdw look under their Photography For Fun course. It says it will cover Chingay Parade with entrance ticket inclusive...S$80.

wonder whether it means free-access to the Parade ...???
