Youth Olympic Closing Ceremony Fireworks

I had a chance to take my first fireworks shot in the closing ceremony of YOG. And I must say, the word 'timing' gave a new meaning for me. I thought manual setting with the right aperture and shutter speed will do the trick and boy I was wrong. Fortunately, my friend and co-shooter shared me a tip to try shooting in B(bulb) setting. With a few trials i somehow got a good working range of exposure - around 1.5 to 3 seconds.

Enjoy the shots!

Got a few good pictures to share

It has been a while since my last post. And since then I had a lot of opportunities to snap a few good pictures. Let me share them to you.

Enjoy!


View from Shears Bridge
Whenever I take a shot, I always look for those unique perspective. And this shot definitely qualifies, as this was taken from Shears bridge. Me and my friend decided to went up the bridge to get a different view of things (especially after long hard day at the office). And man, it was a feast to my eyes.


Admirality Park
This is the first park I visited when I joined Greenery Club. But this picture was taken on my second visit to the place. The picture is obviously post edited to give that low key colorful mysterious effect.


MacRitchie Reservoir
Whenever I'm shooting outdoor I always put on CPL. And in this shot, it really pays off, you can see through the water in the foreground and colors are more vibrant.


Caelifera
I have shot a few grasshopper but this one has the best lighting and focus.
