Fireworks!

The first day of Chinese New Year didn't disappoint as residents from all over pulled out all the stops and set off incredible amounts of fireworks into the sky. Bernard, Francis and I rushed to the roof to see the hundreds of fireworks that spanned our view of Luyang all the way to Penampang.

There was barely any time to think when we got on the roof. Tripod, Camera, Shoot. The shots were set at 30 seconds each. The first photo is my favourite but the third photo above caught over 30 fireworks. There were actually more but the lens was just not wide enough to capture the entire view.

It was simply breathtaking. I just don't remember ever seeing so many fireworks going off in such spectacular style. It lasted for about 15 minutes before people started to run out of fireworks. Some areas were still going strong but we decided it was time to get back into the house.

Happy Chinese New Year 2011 :)
