.. as mentioned on the earlier post ... ... was hoping if only we could conduct all the water taxi driver.. to make some sort of numeral design ... hmmmm..... ... oh well .. while waiting in between the fireworks .... so made this ...
.... 61 .... 61st Birthday ..... ... hmmm... I must admit... some people did stare at me for doing ... eeer... whatever it was I was doing .... ;)
... zooming out further ....
... some of the spectators watching ... and enjoying the fireworks display ....
... one of the limitations in taking photos stuck to one point is that, you are limited to a certain compositions only, especially if the subject is more or less at the same spot...... this is where having a prime lens have it disadvantages... unless you have loads of prime lens with different focal lengths ........ in using a tele-zoom lens...by varying the focal length ... you can have a different compositions .... despite standing on the same location ....
... the photo above shows yet a new landmark .. which is the water village on the other side ...... those light trails on the water are the lights from the moving water taxi ... which is an art of their own ...... was hoping that I could conduct their movement... such as those synchronize swimming... perhaps .... this time they could design the number 61 ... hmmmm...... oh well... it only happens in the movie ...
... zooming out ........ there were so much activities going on that night ... be it in the sky .. or on the water ... the water taxi ferrying passengers from one point to another .... manouvering frantically yet steadily thru the darkness of the night ... thou that night it was lit by the glowing fireworks ...
.. the photo shows another new subject on the foreground ... the structure on the waterfront ...
.. I think a single photo would not do justice to that beautiful night.. so I guess... I'll be posting the fireworks series for the next few days....
... the first up ... is the close up ... "full-frame" .. (uncropped) ... image of the fireworks above the magnificient royal palace .... The Istana Nurul Iman ...
....waiting to go across .... across the road ......Lately in Brunei, there's this thingy in building Zebra Crossings ... u can find it every few metres in some populated commercial areas.... but IMHO it actually does not help to smoothen the traffic flow, and and in fact due to obstructed view, might be dangerous for the public to cross it safely...Here's how to make it better:1. Instead of making 2 zebra crossings 10 metres apart .. why not just make ONE huge zebra crossing.2. Some cars will just speed up thru zebra crossings, will be more dangerous if it is a double lane, low visibility to driver, so why not build a hump at the zebra crossing, or rather build a zebra crossing on a hump, so no matter if there's people or not, driver will sure slow down punya ...3. Lit up the pedestrian crossing... don't leave them in the dark .... 4. .. I'll let u decide .... what's best ...
