Dublin Bus SG51 operates an evening peak duty on route X32 to Hewlett Packard. The express service is one of the rebranded routes of the Bus Connects C-Spine. The x32 replaced the 66X in the Castletown area of Leixlip operating through Leixlip and Lucan villages. The destination scroll is one of the more unusual on the Dublin Bus network, simply displaying “Hewlett Packard” with no reference to any of the via points.
The colourful houses in the foreground reminded me of the beach houses one more commonly associate with beaches and white sand. Alas, this is a concrete beach, with a light throwing tower, no least.
This shot was taken around the Mooncake Festival, where I visualise the moon, being brighter than usual, to fill up the void on the left side. The lasers from the Marina Bay Sands seems to be weakened as compared to previous years though.

Away from the crowd (read, Marina Bay area) where the fireworks were fired from, I had a enjoyable experience shooting this from the comfort of Bedok Jetty. Sure, there were people around there, but to wait for 12 midnight whilst listening to the waves was quite, relaxing.
This particular fireworks marked the end of our Nation's 50th Anniversary, more commonly known as "SG50". Exactly 8 minutes of fireworks marked this milestone, as our Nation officially stepped into SG51.
As a new year beckons for us, allow me the honour of wishing all my viewers a Happy 2016. Wish everyone will have good light when you are out shooting!

Happy NDP SG51 !!
It's Saturday and once again it is firework night. This series of firework shooting opens me up to new processing tools as I try to overcome certain problems faced by weather and physical conditions. This is also probably the last image for NDP firework.
Here comes the time of the year for NDP fireworks again! This is from the first combined rehearsal (CR1) at the new National Stadium at Singapore Sports Hub. This year is the very first time that a National Day Parade will take place at the new National Stadium to celebrate the nation's 51st birthday.

30 July 2016 - National Day Parade 2016 final Preview before Singapore's 51st birthday on 9 August. This year's NDP theme is “Building our Singapore of Tomorrow” that seeks to unite Singaporeans in the next chapter of nation building. Even though it was just a NDP preview, it was not a surprise that thousands of people gathered outside the National Stadium and around the whole Kallang area waiting patiently for the fireworks. Cheers and applause could be heard among the crowd after all the beautiful fireworks went off.

The Singapore National Day Parade (NDP) this year 2016 returned to the National Stadium to much fanfare, and action was also brewing outside the stadium.
Families, couples and friends turned up outside the stadium with cameras and picnic goodies from as early as 3pm, in hopes of nabbing the best seats to catch the fireworks.
Fireworks started at 8.15pm. In the backdrop are the iconic marina bay sands next to the Singapore Flyer (Wheel) and the central business district.
The River Hong Bao/ River Ang Bao is unique to Chinese New Year for the past 30 years. This year, the organisers have arranged for fireworks to be displayed for all 9 nights, which is quite the first time for an event like this.
I was unsure if there would still be space by the time I arrived (I arrived 1 hour before the fireworks, which by norms, means the front few rows have already been tripod-ed) and how the fireworks will fire at.
I was pleasantly surprised to find ample space for me to set up my tripod and even afford to sit down whilst taking fireworks, and I'll dare say this is the most relaxing fireworks shoot I've ever taken thus far!
It was hard deciding which frame to use, as the fireworks were frankly quite nice and colourful. I settled for this set which I hope appeals to you too.
More useful information for my fellow photographers whom have landed up at this page whilst researching before heading down to capture the fireworks.
