Slow-shutter pictures with motion-blurring effect
After the fireworks of my previous post, dad and I decided to stay on for a little night photography (we’ve after all traveled all the way down here for just 5 minutes worth of fireworks-photography anyway!). The last time I took a shot of this scene was close to two and a half years ago. Here’s one with a slightly different mood compared to what I took then.
It’s fireworks galore for the past couple of weeks as Singapore celebrates the Chinese New Year with weekly fireworks at the Singapore River. The fireworks can also be seen from the Kallang River waterfront. The advantage – no need to jostle with the crowds that usually gather nearer the Singapore River. My father and I were impressed by what we saw at the Kallang River on Saturday evening while we were there for a family dinner — so much so that we headed back to the same place on Sunday evening to catch some pictures.
This is one of my favourites out of the pictures I took.
I finally gave in to the lures of B&H and bought a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L lens from them 🙂 This is the first time I did an overseas lens purchase from the Internet, and am I impressed by their service!
The package arrived by UPS shipment tonight and eager me tested the lens immediately with some long exposure shots on the traffic intersection opposite my apartment. I will be testing the lens more thoroughly this weekend (*pray for good weather*) 🙂
