MIFC

2nd September 2007, the 1st ever Malaysia International Fireworks Competition drew to a close after nearly 3 weeks of display at Putrajaya.

Being a bit fireworks crazy these days, I practially went to every single competition night. Fireworks photography for me is one of the most demanding and not to be missed for any reason... as they are by their nature transcient... one secodn they are burning brightly across the sky, the next moment they are nothing but tiny embers or ash falling from the sky. Once you miss a fireworks shot, it's gone... forever, never to repeat itself.

Photographing fireworks is like shooting any sports, event or wedding, each shot, each action is a split-second decision; It involves a little planning, previsualisation and following that luck as well.

All in all it is a very good and fun event... the attendance really surprised me; I think this is the first time there was a traffic jam on all roads leading from Putrajaya. Seems that we, Malaysians really love our fireworks. Can we have another next year?

I shall leave you with a couple more of my favorite shots from MIFC 2007.
