nice pix.. what lens do you use?

thanks

nikkor 18-200 VR1

all settings same, ISO200, f/7.1, 2s

nice spot u standing at!

i think a longer shutter speed can make the trails look more pretty. noob 2 cents.

afraid if longer shutter then too many fireworks, too cluttered ahaha.. but will try it out next time. this thursday is closing ceremony, surely will have a lot of fireworks.

10 seconds should be good. 2s a bit too short. u can see that ur fireworks explosion is rather small(or maybe the real fireworks was small too? )

closing for the national day?

nono.. closing for the youth olympic games.

For the closing I think you should try experimenting with black card . See if the effects nicer or not.

yup ok hehe.. hmm.. but still 10s ar? or longer than that?

haha bro try merge them all together?
this place remind me of the spot i cant get with my 18-55 KIT...
i stood on the opposite of the site xD

can't seem to merge them together, output looks weird lol.
where's the opposite side? at the merlion? or that bridge? UWA works best at the merlion spot.

bridge lo....

Nice... two thumbs up !!

There is a spot Opposite Marina Sands you can get the same view in the but center angle. You will be exactly across the river from Fullerton Hotel. Perhaps you can try there this Thursday or at least go earlier to check the location out

thanks yup i think will plan to go there, the last time i went it was still under construction.

Yeah you could use the black card method. Put it at approx 10s. It should give you nice exp.

nice nice

Closing ceremony for the YOG. 10s but didn't use black card much for the first 2. when the 2nd round of fireworks came, couldn't take out my black card in time, over exposed
