Taking Pictures of Fireworks Outside My Bedroom Window






This was the New Year fireworks display at Merdeka Square. Taken from my bedroom window- about 3 km away.

They're poorly taken because firstly, I did not use a tripod and secondly, the setting was for sure was wrong. Furthermore, I was too excited to keep still in order to take better shots hehehe...

Actually, I was planning to just watch the fireworks with my DH, and making all sorts of exclamations each time a new firework design blows up against the black sky. I knew if I am stuck behind the camera I won't get to really enjoy them...not without my timely ooohhsss and aaahhhsss...but then after about 3 minutes into the year 2009, I realised that this may be the last New Year's or even ANY fireworks that I would be able to see from my window again as there's a new condo being built right in front of my amazing view now...so I quickly looked for my camera and started snapping away.
