It had been a few years since our old National Stadium was demolished to make way for the new Singapore Sports Hub. Since there's an Open House today, i took the chance to pop-by for a 1st hand experience of the new kid on the block!
It was flooded with visitors and joggers who had completed an event earlier when I reached in the evening... It was a sea of Red! (their red t-shirts, haha!) I didn't explore the whole huge area totally...Just months ago, I had took photos of the new stadium from Tanjong Rhu... Now, I found myself on the elevated patio area of the National Stadium!
As there's an on going rehearsal for the Chinese Orchestra, visitors were not allowed into the stadium. Hence, I could only pop in my mobile phone thru' the barrier to shoot the interior!
Well, my main objective this evening is to shoot the Laser & Fireworks show. Hence, i better look for a place to setup my tripod... I saw a potential area but a guy was standing there. While i was opening my tripod, i accidentally poked him....oops! I apologised immediately & to my surprise the guy was kind to give me his prime spot! *Happy* So, i got to try out a few test shots & while waiting/shooting, i noticed this uncle on my right who was also holding a camera in his hands. This uncle kept sneakily tried to peep at my DSLR's LCD... i was annoyed & also purposely didn't let him see, haha! Well, if he politely ask me, I would share (perhaps)!
Just when about the fireworks show commence, a young boy squeezed into the small space next to my tripod! Aiyo! I had to tell him upfront not to knock onto my tripod! Finally, the show begins...The fireworks was awesome! But i also realised my framing couldn't capture the highest level of fireworks! I rarely would re-adjust my framing, but i just couldn't resist it this round, since the show looks so good! Hence, I also had some hits & misses... managed to salvage a few good ones... the rest were simply too smokey & exposure not long enough. So, here's some of my preferred shots to share! Enjoy!
