This is a panoramic composite of almost all of the firework photos I shot this Chinese new year on the roof. It was a little crazy but I took each firework individually from each photo and pasted them into their proper positions in this panorama. It was a lot of work and it took about 2 hours to complete but I thought it was a cool idea to show everything in a single photo.
The sky this Chinese new year was once again marked with hundreds of fireworks from every direction. It was brighter and louder than it was
last year with the occasional firework exploding overhead as I sat on my neighbor's roof.
It might be difficult to tell the difference if you compared them but the show this year left me stunned as I watched the fireworks in awe. The added advantage I had this year was the use of a wireless remote trigger coupled with BULB mode on the camera. Some of these shots were exposed for over 3 minutes.
It's just one of those things that you just had to be there to see for yourself. Nobody wanted to be outdone and it resulted in yet another spectacular display.
Happy Chinese New Year 2012!!
Here are some photos of fireworks a few hours ago. These are pretty much the only ones that I had the chance to photograph and they are not the best shots I have ever caught. I celebrated the new year at my Grandmother's house but I couldn't get a clear shot of enough fireworks because they were mostly blocked by other houses, surrounding trees or they were just too far.
These photos are heavily cropped and I apologize for the poor quality. I'm hoping to get better photos during the coming Chinese New Year :)
Happy New Year 2012!
A few photos from the last two weeks at KL. There's many more to come soon :)
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 :)
Happy New Year everyone! We had an awesome view of the fireworks from the waterfront last night. I didn't bring my tripod along so I had to take the shots hand held.
[Update] Added two more photos :)
The Chinese new year was greeted with hundreds of colorful fireworks sent exploding into the night sky. The spectacular display lasted for quite a while as people from all over the city were using up as much as they could for that very moment, as if competing with each other ;p It really sounded as if it was war.
This is actually my first time capturing fireworks :)
These are some of the fireworks that I captured. Before and after the new year. A couple of the photos have black lines across them because of the power lines that were outside my house. The second photo appears to have a spiralling effect because of the camera shake.
The photos are all taken at 5 seconds shutter on a tripod [except for the third photo which was hand-held with the shutter at BULB] with the aperture at f/14 with my 18-55mm kit lens.
