Yar Yar!! Now the government is playing with fireworks. Where do they get those money to burn fireworks It's the rakyat's money!!!

they could cut down FOOD TAX on some foodstall around cyberjaya and putrajaya !! the hell TAX for .. is it worth buy NASI LEMAK for RM2.00 + 5% tax would make RM2.75 .. and the content like ikan bilis + sambal and slice of an egg.. i would rather buy nasi lemak around my place RM2.00 is worth sotong + telur goreng and bunch of rice !!!

Errmm... RM2.00 plus a 5% tax can't be RM2.75 la... it's RM2.10 la.. u sure u didn't get conned?

when is the date and time?

Yup. there are going to be tons of photogs out there, myself included! To the previous question. it's two weeks long, from 18 Aug to 2 Sep, so plenty of opportunities to get great shots from different views. I think the official website is: http://www.mifc.com.my/

Wow.... saddle up your gear and tripods and head over there..... Will be a problem for outstation enthusiats like me... but will definetly consider going ........

Thanls for the info.

Hope to met all Photo guys there. Which area...dataran there?

Hope we can have a drink 1st before the show start. To exchange knowledge maa......

Dang.. Won't be able to make it.. love them fireworks very much.

any sifu wanto share which location to pick and what gears to bring and techniques to shoot fire works?

There're some tips in the post on this event in the sticky thread at the top. I think they're quite valid, since I had some problems getting good shots in Battersea last Nov....

The only thing I know for sure is that a tripod is a must. Probably would be a good idea to use a cable/remote release if you have one as well.

A couple weeks ago I bought a remote release for my D70s and was excited as hell. Until I noticed that the receiver is at the front of the camera! But I guess with the long exposures for the fireworks, standing in front of it to trigger the shutter won't matter that much. Or maybe I can rig a reflector with some aluminum foil... any ideas?

stand/sit behind the came, the arm/hand extend to front,

twist a bit n aim at the receiver?

make sure u guys come...bring a lots of fren....

My colleague and I are in the stage of planning for it.

Relax man... don't have to reduce everything down to dollars and cents!

A government which doesn't put up a fireworks display for its national day is a sad government...

Im not sure how they plan of going with the RM38- RM180 Ticket charges on this, but based on this map from the website, its possible to get shots from across the lake on the left of the pic I think. I have to scout that area beforehand......
