A break from the recent fireworks shots (although I have got at least a couple more new ones from last weekend to post up)… I picked up these reflections along a building in Manchester while we were walking towards Old Trafford on a tour to Manchester United soccer stadium. I have deliberately kept the road sign towards the right of the frame to distinguish what is within and without the “zone”.
Another variation from my previous post… I like the colours from this shot more although I liked the firework patterns from the previous shot better. Which one do you like?
Singapore will celebrate its 44th National Day on 9 August 2009 with a grand parade at the Esplanade waterfront. The traditional finale of the parade has always been a fireworks spectacular. I was around the area last weekend and caught a preview of the finale during the parade rehearsal. Fireworks are always tricky to catch on photography since it is almost never possible to predict where or when the light-bursts will occur. I had my camera set mainly on a fixed aperture and ISO speed while triggering the shutter on “B” mode and gauging the timing by feel. I think I might make another trip to this coming weekend’s rehearsal for yet another try 🙂
