MIFC 2008 - Grand Finale

Salam and hello everyone. Last Friday I went to Putrajaya again to enjoy this spectacular firework show, MIFC 2008. And as you know, the last Friday is the Grand Finale of Malaysia International Firework Competition 2008 and the firework show was performed by last year MIFC 2007 winner, Australia team. But it was really tiring. Since last Friday is the day I need to move into the new house and then after moved all my things, I rushed to Putrajaya around 8.40pm. I thought that it would be massive traffic congestion, yes it was; but lucky me, I avoid it by using “jalan belakang”. Hohoho.. :D

So, I used the way to Presint 7 and then took the way to Presint 3 then parked my car at Presint 4, near the Seri Saujana bridge. I reached there about 9.15pm. Then, to find a spot for shooting, I walked about 1 km plus. hohoho.. damn tiring! Fortunately, I found a spot. Get all my gear prepared then wait for the show. *Rest for a while*

The show started at 9.55pm, ok I don’t want to talk more. Enjoy the pictures.

*Dial-up users, sorry ya.. this post contains lot of pictures, so be patient ya. :)

MIFC 2008 Team China PICC Putrajaya

Salam and hello to all. Last night was the firework show night for China team, and I was there to enjoy this impressive and spectacular firework show which was held at Putrajaya. The firework was shot at Putrajaya International Convention Center (PICC) and fortunately I got a quiet great spot for taking the shot of the firework. Don’t talk about the traffic, you must prepared for any matters that would happen. Avoid using Bulatan Putrajaya if you don’t want to get into traffic jam, otherwise you enter Putrajaya earlier, maybe before 8pm and after 8, I suggest you to use other path to PICC.

One thing that I noticed about this year MIFC is, the duration for the firework show. As if I’m not mistaken, for last year MIFC, the firework shots about 15 minutes only and 30 minutes for grand finale. But, for this year, like last night, the firework was shots about 30 minutes. Lols… And what would be for grand finale? 1 hour??! :D *Curious*- and this assumptions will be wrong if my information about last year MIFC is wrong. haha

Here I want to share some part of successful captured photos of last night firework show. Hoho.. this is my first time photograph the firework, still need to learn more. I’ve taken about 200 shots and only a portion of it I can say ok, and the rest…huhuhu.. tak menjadi. :D What I can conclude, its not easy to capture the firework, you need a lot of patience. So, enjoy the photos. I’ve reduced the quality of photos a bit to decrease the file size. For high quality photos, I’ll upload it to my photoblog later. So, feel free to drop your comment, ok? I’m still newbie, so please show me and guide me to improve my photography.

Seri Wawasan Bridge, Putrajaya Silhouette Photoshot

4 Comments | This entry was posted on May 10 2008

Hello all. I think its quite a long time I didn’t post any photography related post since my last post about photography. Err.. About a month ago I think. LOLS. Actually, I got some of recently taken photos and really appreciate if you can leave your comments and criticism about my photos, so that I can improve my photography skills. *I’m newbie and still learning :D

So, these are my recently taken photos. The silhouette photos of Seri Wawasan Bridge, Putrajaya which I think a well designed bridge in term of architecture design. Well, its a beautiful bridge, isn’t? I noticed that there are another bridge, somehow like Seri Wawasan bridge, if I’m not mistaken Seri Saujana Bridge. This one also a beautiful bridge especially at night. Erm.. Ok, some info about Seri Wawasan Bridge.

The Seri Wawasan Bridge is one of the main bridges in Putrajaya, the Malaysian federal administrative capital. This futuristic cable-stayed bridge which has a sail ship appearance, connects Precinct 2 on the Core Island to the residential area of Precinct 8.
The concrete bridge is a combination of cable backstays and structural steel tie back. It is a dual three lane carriageways of 18.6m width each, comprising 3 x 3.5m width lanes, 0.5 m hard shoulder, 0.5m marginal strip. The median is 4 m wide and walkway cum cycle track width is 5.1m giving a total width of 37.2m at the centre of the bridge.

So here are 4 silhouette photos of Seri Wawasan Bridge that I had taken recently. Please be free to comment and give your opinion about the photos or maybe some photography tips probably. I hope I can improve my photography skills. Hehe.. Anyway, these shot were taken in manual mode and the shutter speed was set between 1/1250 and 1/2000 with f/8 aperture. And for the info, I used Olympus SP550uz to shoot all these photos. Still can’t afford for a DSLR camera, I hope I can afford it by the end of this year. I already found the limitation of this camera. *Pray :)

#1. First try.
