Chinese New Year 2008

Chinese New Year again!

Just returned from Chinatown. This time, instead of going to the usual place, I decided to go up to the HDB flat beside the playground. This gave me the opportunity to shoot the fireworks from an other angle.

Chinese New Year Eve again

Today is Chinese New Year Eve. As usual, there will be fire crackers, followed by fireworks at Chinatown, immediately after the count down. Still thinking, where shall I go to take the photos..

3rd January 2004 - First Firecrackers after so many years in Chinatown

After so many, many years, I would say decades, finally, there was firecrackers in Singapore, Chinatown. Who would want to miss this event?

I was a the top level carpark at People's Park Complex. Other than a few heads in front, I can see the almost everything. After the firecrackers, there was fireworks, directly in front of us!

That time, I was using Olympus C-200 Zoom, a 2.1Megapixel Camera.

A Start

It was 2004 when Singapore Chinatown first having firecrackers display as part of the Chinatown Chinese New Year Light-Up. My wife (girlfriend then) and I went up to the People's Park Complex Carpark to view the firecrackers. We was amazed that the fireworks firing spot was just right in front of us. I quickly shot as many pictures as possible. From that day since, I have been shooting Chinatown's fireworks with every opportunity, partly because I was staying in the flat there. Even after I moved out of Chinatown, still go back to Chinatown to enjoy the Chinese New Year crowds, and of course, the fireworks. As time goes by, I realised that there so many Chinatown Photos in my harddisk. So I decided that, I shall put it up on a blog.
