Outing: Catch Fire Works on May 1st @ Esplanade

[theITguy]

There is no photos that are lousy, that is from someone who told me when I first meet him and show him my pictures. That is the most encouraging words since I started taking pictures.

I did a big mistake by carrying my tripod without fixing the tripod head....kuku me! *sigh*

I ended up taking all the shots handheld, with the tripod stand as my arms support, all photos taken are 2 seconds, F6.3.

Below are just a few to share....

I forcus my cam toward the lighted building under P mode using "One Shot AF"
then switch to M mode and aim my cam..
Was thinking it will fired near the building but it didn't..
So just quickly aga aga adjust my cam to the left after the 1st firework started
and I just fired at will....
