Singapore NDP 08 (National Day Parade)

Singapore's national day falls on 9th of August. This year i got an invitation from a friend of mine to celebrate national day at his place. A high-floored unit in Aljunied area. Nice city view.

So, naturally a photographer's reaction came into my mind - great chance to take nice photos. Therefore, i bring my Nikon D3 & Nikkor AFS 24-70mm f/2.8, Sigma
HSM 100-300mm f/4 & a 1.4x tele-converter for the assignment. Not the best combination i must admit. But, what to do? No $ for those exotic Nikkor tele lenses yet.

Share with you some of the shots taken that night. Processed from the Jpeg files. Although i got the NEF files (Nikon's RAW file). Simply lazy. So, i hope the quality is good enough for your viewing.







The last shot is to capture the smoke generated by the fireworks. Different city mood. Like the Singapore city being moved to Genting Highland. In the midst of the clouds.

Of course lah. I'm a professional photographer. I know the rules & i respect the photographer's copyright, ok?

Nevertheless, i must admit that i shoot too little of other photography categories. Maybe too much of children photos? What to do. Who ask your brother-me, loves children so much. Including you, my baby little sister.

If you really like them, let me know which one you like the best then i'll send you a higher rez copy for you to set as Wallpaper probably.
