Marina bay Fireworks. Celebration of Chinese New Year 2006.
Camera settings: Bulb, 3.9seconds, F7.1, ISO100, EF28-135IS lens @ 28mm, tripod, cable release. Manual focus to infinity.
It is important to have identifiable foreground, otherwise firework shots would be the same everywhere in the world. In Singapore case, there is no object better than the national symbolic Merlion.
You can set exposure time to 6 or even 10 seconds to have more fireworks exposed in a single frame, but you may need to off and on cover the lens with lens cap or black paper to prevent over exposure, especially the Merlion area, which is way too bright.
I would like to thank all of you for the comments, PMs and emails. It has been the great encouragement for me.
I will be flying to Cambodia tomorrow, see you!
