Singapore New Year 2010 Fireworks

Accolades: Merit position in Marina Bay Singapore Countdown 2009/10.

Witness the Fireworks

Singapore fireworks ceremony during countdown to 2010 at Marina Bay. Again I was at the spot 8 hours before the 10mins show and was standing exactly in front of the television crew platform.

Here I am trying to imagine the future looks of Marina Bay skyline once the much anticipated SANDS opens while keeping fireworks as centre of attraction. I have composed fireworks as bouquet of flowers welcoming people in Singapore as the new year arrives.

Thanks to my fisheye lens which has provided me 180° angle!! I decided not to de-fisheye it as I like the effect here.

As asked by many people the settings to freeze fireworks so here it is:

Exposure mode: Manual; Shutter: Bulb; Aperture: 11; ISO: 100

Same place last year
