Fireworks Shooting Outing (27/7/2002)

[ckiang]

Hi,

On request of 9lives, I am organizing a fireworks shoot on the Preview day (27/7 I think).


Date : 27/7/2002
Time : Meet @ 4.00 - 4.15 pm, leave at 4.30pm SHARP, ON THE DOT.
Location : Outside Cathay Photo, Penisula.


Currently there are a few good spots, along the Pebble Bay/Cosy Bay area, and from the beach near Nicoll Highway. Both does not have very good foregrounds, but there aren't any other good locations already.

Equipment needed:
1. Tripod
2. Cable Release
3. Film/extra memory
4. Extra batteries
5. Mini Torch
6. Mineral water, snacks, pocket TV, etc.

Regards
CK

As long as it has manual controls. If you have a cable release/remote for it, all the better.

btw, those who are going, don't be late. we won't be waiting. this is not jbp or sentosa shooting. time is critical. be there early or be sorry.

We leave on the dot. Whoevers late gotta locate us (like 9lives tried doing last year ;p)

If we are late, we won't be able to get good spots, or enough space.

W I D E angle. The teles longer than about 80~105mm are probably not very useful.

That should be enough. The last time I shot with a 35-70 and a 28-105, I never had to use the widest end.

provied no trees are blocking u, last year i zoom in at around 60mm to avoid the trees or leaves. that is why we need to go early and catch a good spot.

you will see lot of photophers parking their tripod there.
