Happy 61st National Day Singapore

This post is a day late. It took me longer than expected to go through all the photographs from the past two weekends.

I have not photographed fireworks for quite a while, but a former university classmate persuaded me to give it another go. So we ended up “camping” for fireworks twice—first at the National Day Parade rehearsal on 1 August, and then again on National Day itself.

This photograph was taken during the final encore of fireworks at the rehearsal. I liked the lines and patterns created by this particular sequence, so my first edit was entirely in black and white. Later, I changed my mind and used layers in Photoshop to bring back some of the colours.

What I like most, though, is the Singapore flag projected across the dome of the National Stadium. I restored its red and white as my small tribute to National Day.

A belated happy 61st National Day, Singapore!
