Fireworks

This post is about half a month late, but it's better late than never right hehehe.

A little update in my life: I've started university!

It's been 2 weeks and I'm still trying to get used to everything. The way the classes are taught, how uni works, what activities I can participate in and the most important thing - how to juggle with the workload. And at the same time, getting my brain to work a lil harder after all the slacking in the past 8 months HAHAHA.

I'll keep the intro short because I'm procrastinating to put up this blog post (what's new; old habits die hard). Hope you enjoy the photos! This is my first time using a wired shutter release to take these long-exposure shots; and I must admit it's much more convenient (and reduces the camera movements by so much!) Am still getting used to using this awesome little gadget, and also I'm more inspired to take some long-exposure landscape shots now! That is, after I finish all my uni work and get myself a ND filter heh.

Oh yeah side note, the background this year is actually the Singapore Sports Hub (a change from all the previous years of the Marina Bay skyline) and also that was the first time where I actually dared to squeeze with the National Day crowd to take these photos!

All right, enough ramblings, time for the photos :)













Including this badly taken shot only to show the crazy amount of sparkles in the finale!
Congrats for scrolling all the way down!!! Here's a bonus shot - I took it during the Hari Raya season! Was still new to this whole night photography thing, and hence this is the only decent shot


A bag of popcorn for you guys who made it all the way to here! And this really is the end of this post.

Till the next time,
Elsa

The City, and all the others

City
/ˈsɪti/

A large town.

An area where many people live and work, with high density buildings, often characterised with modern skyscrapers; and sometimes featuring historical buildings, as seen in Seoul.

A lively, charismatic place that is always buzzing with people and activities, just as the saying goes "the city never sleeps".













And all the others:

The people, the nature, the floral and fauna, and us, the travellers.












Aaaaand that's the end of this series of themed posts! Hope you've enjoyed reading them as much as I've created them :)

Perhaps I'll write another post, with the goofier photos of us taken during the trip, to show you what happens behind the scene/the real-er and derpy-er side of the three of us HAHAHA. All right till then, have a great day wherever you are!
