National Day Parade Rehearsal (National Eduction Show 2) Outing 8 July 2017

[thoongeng]

Hello everyone I'm organising an outing to take the National Day Parade Rehearsal 'Dynamic Defence Display' (it will be rather far away though) and fireworks, details as follows, please read the instructions carefully

Details:
Date: 8 July 2017 Saturday
Time: 5pm till around 8.15pm
Location: The Promontory @ Marina Bay

Can see what are the displays on my thread, though the position for the outing will be in the opposite direction and thus further away:

Requirements to register:
1. Beginners and keen to learn - Beginners as in you need help with camera settings, what mode to use or how to set up your tripod. This will be more of a sharing session, I will share what I have learnt from the seniors in this forum and try to answer as many questions as I can.
2. Post a photograph in Clubsnap after the outing - After the session I will create a thread and you are required to post at least 1 photograph from the outing. I hope everyone will learn from the experience by getting feedback from others especially the seniors in this forum (I will try to comment on all the photographs posted)
(seniors are welcome to join (and share with us if you are keen), just drop me a PM or just drop by thanks!)

Group size (for those registering): 5

Equipment:
1. Any camera (preferably able to set exposure manually and have Bulb mode), remember to bring enough batteries and memory cards
2. Any lens (I will be using an ultra-wide lens to capture fireworks and a telephoto zoom to try to capture the defence display, but you can practice composition with any lens you have)
3. Tripod
4. Remote control for your camera - either wired or wireless or wifi
4. Any filters, levellers you have or other equipment you think will be useful
5. Water, snacks if you need and umbrella
6. Black card / black cloth for those who want to try (can google 'black card technique for fireworks', I most likely will not be using black card)

How to register:
- Those who are keen to register we will do it the usual Clubsnap way - copy and paste the list and add your name to the next available slot
- Nearer to the day, most likely 6th July night, I will PM all the registered participants the exact location to meet. Please don't be late, we will not be reserving tripod slots for latecomers.

Those who register but did not appear on that day, or did not post their photograph after the outing will be blacklisted

I will update this post with the confirmed list of registered participants by 7th July, or earlier if it is full. I will also update on the day itself if the outing will be on or not in case of weather etc so please check the thread before heading out

Thanks and hope to see you guys on 8th July
