Singapore Fireworks Festival - Sea of little LCDs
Published August 24th, 2008 in day to daySo we had some free tickets to the fireworks on Saturday, and we brought our niece along to catch the explosions in the sky. The weather wasn’t the best for fireworks, with a drizzle that soon became light rain.
I think now at 32, the novelty of fireworks is gone and I don’t feel that tingle down my spine or any goosebumps like before. It was just ok to me and I was more interested in looking around to see people’s expressions and such. I was actually quite amused by the sea of LCDs from where I was - nearly right at the top. Look at that… I’d say 7 out of 10 had a camera aimed at the sky? How many were looking at it through the LCD and ignoring the splendor that is beyond that tiny screen?
Well anyway so here is my shot of the last night of the Singapore Fireworks Festival… not of the fireworks (because the Lumix FX100 did a bad job with its fireworks mode) but a landscape of digital camera LCDs.
I now prefer to enjoy the performance instead of trying hard to get a photo. And what fireworks can you capture with a P&S digital camera??
Diana’s screensaver is of a fireworks display. It looks great but she said she missed the display, spending too much time getting pictures, so has never done it again.
I must be too much of a kid because I still go ohhh at fireworks :).
