Happy 50th Birthday Singapore!

We went to a fireworks rehearsal for Singapore's National Day held the day before the actual holiday to avoid the crushing crowds in Marina Bay. There has been several rehearsals for National Day so we knew about what to expect. This year had the largest fireworks display in the history of Singapore National Day and it was amazing! I didn't go hours early to claim a great spot and set up my tripod, these are all hand held shots and I think they are pretty darn good. Enjoy!

On the way we stopped to take just a few photos of the beautiful night skyline.

And a few other people had the same idea :)

The firework show seemed to be running a little late but that's ok, more night skyline shots. I kind of like having the crowd in the foreground. Shows the atmosphere a bit. 

It is a beautiful skyline. In the bottom right of this photo and a few others in this post is the Fullerton Hotel. It has the Singapore flag projected onto the hotel. During the night there was an entire show of a few minutes long projected onto the hotel consisting of different scenes. Very cool!  

Show is starting!!! I cropped out the crowd on this photo.

But in this photo I sort of liked them in there. Its a little dark, hard to get the right settings for hand held fireworks but I still really like this photo.

How many cell phones can you see taking photos? 

I love fireworks :)

I think the kid sort of made the shot. Very cute!

This large head next to me doesn't really have the same effect as the kids silhouette ;)
Gorgeous fireworks display. We are all trying to get the best view.

A close up shot to crop out some of the smoke.

So pretty!

Need a breeze its getting smokey!

I see a giant heart shape.

Singapore knows how to put on a good show!

Happy Friday!!!
