Merlion’s 40th Birthday Celebration

--Merlion & I: An Inspiring Journey--
Happened to be at Esplanade to watch "The Village" last evening, so I decided to check out the Merlion lightings nearby. 

 My first attempt to snap pictures in 16:9, which is good for landscape pictures.

 Raffles CBD is always the best skyline of SG.

 Esplanade and Marina area.

 Regret not bringing my long zoom lens. Did not walk all the way to Merlion Park as the place was crowded, and I need to return to Esplanade for my show. It's not a very good shot as I did not use tripod.

 Surprised to see fireworks, only managed to snap this.

 A lousy shot of the fireworks :(

 Snapped this pic using manual mode. Still learning how to adjust aperture and shutter speed.

 Pic taken by Tuan.
