Happy 52nd Merdeka Day 2009

Photo taken at Queensbay exactly 12am 31 August 2009 🙂

Photography Tips for Fireworks:

1. Survey the fireworks location before the event starts.
2. Get in to position 20 – 30 minutes earlier to avoid the crowd.
3. Compose or frame your shot before the actual firework starts.
4. A tripod is a must have item.
5. My Setting: f/11 @ ISO 100 @ 20 second on Manual Mode and set the camera to enable mirror lockup.
6. Lesson of the day: The first shot is the essential photo because the subsequent shots will be overexposed by the terrible smoke from the firework.
