Denmark & Canada's Fireworks

At long last. We were able to witness the pyro-olympics without any hassles. Except for finding the right location to set-up our humble gears by the seawall. Although we bought tickets so we can access the promenade, there are still a lot of people who came earlier than us that occupied the best slots. I thought we can never have a decent shot again because of the crowd. But here are some samples merely taken by amateur and trying-hard photographers using our semi-DSLR gear.

World Pyro-Traffic Day

We're very eager to witness the first day of the 2nd World Fireworks Olympics to be held at SM Mall of Asia's promenade. It's our first time to practice shooting fireworks using our meek Sony R1. Our excitement turned into dreariness due to what we thought of just a Friday-night traffic. But it wasn't that since we've been traveling for 2 hours or so already from Ortigas to Makati. We left the office early just to make it to the 8pm fireworks show. What we never anticipated is that everybody are all going to the same venue which caused the tremendous traffic all around the metro. Imagine the stretch of Edsa from Timog to Mall of Asia was all jam-packed with vehicles as well as all the other alternative routes.

Marvin and I had our own inklings. He thought it's really a bad idea to watch the show on its first day coz a lot of people might attend since it's the opening night. Not to mention that the previous year's champion which was Australia was scheduled on the first day. On the contrary, I thought it would also be a bad idea if we go there on weekends since a lot of people are free, employees don't have work and students have no classes. I was truly wrong big time. Sometimes I have to follow my hubby's intuitions. =)

I shoot my own version of fireworks display I observed on the confines of the traffic. And this is how it went.


Now beat this. I coincidentally captured Australia's famous heart-shaped feat.
