SG50 NDP Fireworks, The Actual Day

Sharing some SG50 firework photos taken at "Gardens by the Bay (East) Park Connector". Together with Sam and Yin Leng, we reached there about 4.45pm trying to find a good view for the fireworks. It was too late as the good and easy access spot already occupied by early birds. So we got no choice but to go through the bushes and setup our tripod near the sea bay. It was not easy setting up there as the sea bay is sloping down towards the sea but we're enjoying viewing the sea and fireworks with sea breeze blowing at us. Oh! what a National Day. :)

I dedicate these pictures to our late founding father Mr. Lee Kuan Yew. Even though he is not with us this 50th National Day, he is always in our memory. Without you there won't be SG50. Happy 50th National Day, Mr. Lee. May your spirit always be with us.

Pasir Ris Park (Night), 2nd

Sharing some macro photos taken at Pasir Ris Park. This is my second night macro shooting at this park. I went together with Yin Leng and Samuel. Is fun and interesting. We need to help each other to shine on the subject. I find that night macro is much better than day macro as the subjects do not move a lot. Found lots of spiders there.
