walao your sifu this word really make many people in this forum kill me...

My hand not that stable lar... use tripod de

just curious..r u using bulb mode for the pic above??

nice...very good experiment indeed

Yup! With tripod also

If you dun mention 'laser', no one would guess it's laser or light. Your image should be able to show the difference, everything else aside.

Thanks for your comments. Since is first time doing landscape, don't really know how to capture it. Just brought out my mini tripod and started snapping. This was capture on the other island overlooking Hong Kong island.

Here is another one. This one is after the laser show.

Best way to capture a nightscape is to prop yourself up in parallel perspective again the buildings, what you have here is a camera in wide angle propped on a tripod that was slightly 'senget' : Note the 2 ends of the buildings ... left is lower than the right. The higher you go, even standing on the park bench will do you some good against those skyscrapers

Ya wor... it's abit senget... hehe... will improve next time...

At least he got your name right

Ok ok... my bad... was rushing and didn't ask for your name or contact... now I know lor

First time shooting at MIFC. Reached there and luckily they did some test shot at 9.30pm and found out the location was not so good. Luckily met some people there and they guided me to another spot. Jam kau kau man... luckily can reach that spot on time. Here are the pics. As always, C&C welcomed.

#8 - Finale (Don't have black card arr... After this shot, all my shots were overexposed cause they use the fireworks to lit the whole sky! All turned out white )

EDIT:typo

Thanks for viewing. The last picture is the finale... sure will be clustered from the place i'm standing... i was shooting at a cyberjaya side of the lake.

woohoo
nice shots

Hmm, I think I roughly know where you're at. Is there a lone house in the middle from where you're at? Further down Cyberview Lodge?

The lights of the bridge go off during the show?

Seems like on the last picture, there's smoke all about.

Thanks!


Not quite sure where it is but is at a lakeside lor. Opposite a school. I see alot people park car there. So I got down and walk to the lake.

Yea, luckily the wind didn't blow the smoke towards my side.

nice shoot...
May i know what is ur setting to take those photo?
Thank

yaya ant ant , at least much more better than others

Hehe , no worry ,now u know my name and pm me ur msn can jor

like coconut tree

First you need a tripod. I use bulb mode and wire release cable. Set everything to manual. Aperture at between f11 to f22 (you can try try lar). ISO set at 100. And just click the release cable to open the shutter and wait fireworks finish or whenever u feel like stopping then click again to stop the shutter.


Ya wor... hehe...

nice.. good colour...well not easy to capture fireworks properly...

Nice one..........

Keep it hard...
Dun ever go for display firework day...waste ur money,petrol,time..

Heavy post ahead! This are the fireworks display from Team Italy. The photos are shot in front of PICC. Damm jam that day. The Italians concentrate alot on coconut trees. Something special was the star shape and heart shape. I was expecting pizza or spaghetti

Overall, good display but I still prefer the Aussie team. C&C welcomed!

No remote, using wire release cable. Kindly refer to the previous post on top

Nice shot! Mind sharing the camera setting?

SS and Aperture

Aperture is f11-f16
ISO 100
Shutter set to bulb mode cause I'm using wire release cable (if don't have try timer 4-10secs). Maybe you want it longer, it's up to you lor...

Hope that helps!

Heavy post ahead! I know it's awhile ago but now only got the time to edit it. This are the fireworks display from Team Canada and other countries on the last day of the fireworks at PICC. Massive jam I tell you. Reached PICC just before 8pm and all the nice spots already taken. Luckily still got a spot next to a tree and no one standing there, so I was shooting there (ground floor).

Overall, good display by all teams. The winners were Team Australia. C&C welcomed! Alot of smoke though...
