I thought the first blog entry for this new year has gotta be this! I am trying to post this as soon as possible and then grab some sleep before waking up about 5 hours later to catch the first sunrise of the year. Half an hour ago, I was standing at my window with my Canon SX1is mounted on the tripod trying to catch some shots of the fireworks. I was too darn lazy to use my DSLR and furthermore I’ve sold off all my tele lenses and I needed the reach with the zoom in the SX1is.
Being super lazy, I decided to switch on the scene mode and picked ‘fireworks mode’ … then pray I’ll get at least a couple of (quite) decent shots. Surprisingly with this … I managed to get some of the better looking fireworks shots I’ve done so far. Hahaha! Not that I’ve shot many though. I’m usually hiding at home and shooting them from my window because I’m afraid of the crowd. The last time I was on location to shoot fireworks … it was crazy! Getting there hours before the fireworks to get a decent spot and then squeezing thru the crowd to get back home … is something I hate doing. 😀
I know these ain’t the usual perfect fireworks shots you see but I’m happy enough today. 😀 Time to go get some sleep.
Good night … Happy New Year!

@tylercorc : Thanks and a Happy New Year to you too.
@noreen : Yeah at least I can stay comfortable at home and get to see the fireworks. The feeling is way different though. Being ‘on-site’ is way more exciting.
@ichi : Cool! I wanted to use my film cam but I didn’t have any lens that can zoom that far. Hahhaa.
@irorus : Happy New Year to you too. Hahaha! You saw the photos at the recent photos section because I uploaded them but yet to post them into a blog entry. The entry is up now. I was too busy entertaining Fitzand and didn’t have time to post it.
