I know..I know..it is too late to talk about the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. But have you seen any high quality pictures lately from the opening ceremony?
Well, no. I did not go to Beijing. What I am going to do is share with you some brilliant images I have found. Go here to The Boston Globe to view the images. Enjoy!
31st August comes and gone. This day is when we celebrate the independence of my country from the British colonial rules. It has nothing to do with the formation of Malaysia though. The exact date is 16th September. Nevertheless, we have celebrated this day for 51 times.
This year's celebration, or lack thereof, is so much muted. With so much issues and uncertainties surrounding us at the moment, I think it has somewhat affected our emotions. But hey! I am not here to tell you sad stories. Let's get down to business.
For the 2 weeks leading up to 29 August, there is an international Fireworks Competition being held in Putrajaya. This time I have the chance to join my 2 other photographer friends to capture the colourful fiesta.
We reached early that Friday night (29 August). We camped there for like 45 minutes, just to make sure we are at the correct location and top of the crowd. The fireworks started right on time, but with all our preparations we pointed at the wrong spot. Hahaha!
After some minor adjustments, I present you with these (WARNING! Big images. Click on the image for even bigger ones):
That's all folks! Believe me this, you have to be there to really appreciate the performance.
