It's the once in a year time to practice shooting fireworks and fighter jets! I decided to try shooting from Esplanade this year as I had not tried before. For previous years, I had tried shooting from the Promontory at Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay East and from the spectators' stand at the Float at Marina.
I was supposedly to go alone on my shoot & never did I expect I could find a fotog buddy to join me last minute! Yeah! So I met up with LV at City Hall MRT & we strolled over to Esplanade past 6pm. The area outside Esplanade was packed & we decided to try our luck on the Esplanade Bridge. There's an on-going construction right smack at the Esplanade Bridge & we were lucky to find a spot there. Juz when LV mentioned that there were not many people up here & next thing we realised was our sides were filled with other shooters! haha!

The usually humid weather gave way to a breezy evening & it was really enjoyable to watch the rehearsal from the bridge! We saw the navy display on the sea & followed by the 21-gun salute. For the 1st time, I could see so up-close of the gunners thru' my zoom lens!
My fav fighter jet shot!

My 1st time shooting an eagle flying in the city!
Colourful smoke that looks like a pair of dragons!
When the Super Puma helicopters flew overhead with the Sg flag, it was relatively easy to shoot... The most challenging was the fighter jets! As I duno which direction they would fly past! I managed to get a few good shots of the jets & I especially love the solo jet shot with a fuel trail in the skies!
Show time!
The skies is an art canvas!
My fav shot
After 4 hours of standing, the much awaited fireworks commenced at 8.15pm. I always find it 'stressful' to shoot fireworks as I only get to practice like once a year & the success rate is low (also depend on wind direction). Well, as usual I just made sure I got my settings & focusing correct & enjoyed viewing the fireworks display while taking the shots with my remote. I was pretty satisfied this round as I managed to get quite a few good shots!

My 1st visit to the Esplanade's sky garden
Finally, we ended the evening with a super late dinner or can I say supper at Mac! It was tiring but I feel happy after reviewing my photographs.
