came back from the event, just a few thoughts from me for those who are going...

1. be early to chop the best 'seats'..
2. no flash is allowed.. (so leave your speedlights at home..) ;)
3. bring the lens with the largest aperture, IS/VR is really handy, boost ISO to 800 or even higher if necc..
4. tripods can be deployed as long as it is not blocking the audience..
5. for those who like loud music/pyrotechnics/fire performances will like this event.
6. there is a short 1min or so fireworks segment, nothing too fanciful though, at the end of the performance (the show is est. 1hr 15mins) :think:

lastly, enjoy the show!
 

any pictures to show what's the place and performance like? i will be heading down tomorrow for this event though i stay in eunos -.- i'm heading down with 70-200 f4
 

F4 is gonna be tough.. at least to me.. :think:

do note there is a huge fan like structure on the right of the boy on the 3rd pic..

you might want to siam that area if you dont want to include that in your WA framing.. :sweat:

also worth noting is the number of small spot lights laid on the ground.. :think:
