The last one, third from last and forth from last are pretty good. Don’t be discouraged. One tip when going for events, always set your camera settings before the event starts.

Once the show is on, there is little to no time to do major adjustments on the camera.

@ Q,
lol. i hold my breath with taking shots too. ^^;

@ sammyb,
lol, surely not to the extend of epic right? ^^;

@ Akiraman,
the Canon EOS 1000D.

@ Garion,
yup i was at the construction area beside the NTUC building. at the far end. my kit lens frosted up due to me coming out from a air con room so my friend lend me a 15 to 55mm f2.8 lens i think. not really sure. thanks for the tips. appreciated it!

@ Pyoro,
send your clones then.

@ Hynavian,
there’s more variety but because of my lack of skills, i didn’t manage to capture all of them. ^^;

Its no n00b attempt Gordon! You should see my attempts in taking far away objects instead. I didn’t get any clear shot and I have to delete some pictures because they’re too blur (my camera moved too much while I was happily snapping away).

PS: I didn’t know that there’s that many variety of fireworks on display. Thanks for sharing. (:

Hey Gordon, not bad attempts leh! You shot from the NTUC open patch of land rite? I was there too on both nites. BTW what’s your setup like? (i.e camera / lens)

Your settings are correct…but you could try dialing in a higher f-number (smaller aperture) so that the fireworks trails are thinner and you can expose a little longer to capture the trails too. Can try f11 to f16.

Black card does help…but its not a must. I shot w/o a black card too.

Also, watch your horizon level, it appears to be slightly tilted to the right.

Keep shooting and practising!
