NDP 2009 Banner

We finally managed to go to the NDP Preview this year!

Thanks to Chris who passed us 4 tickets so mum, kids and I could go. Toby had already seen the NDP on 19 July during the NE for primary 5 students. Tiff and I were on the bridge between the Esplanade and the Merlion that week. The 3 of us were back again on 26 July for the fireworks. This NDP Preview marks the 3rd time we're seeing the fireworks this year!

What I liked most was the 2nd segment when there was a simulated attack and the various armed forces started moving in on the stage and even up the grandstand. We were sitting in the blue sector and thus nearer the navy display. The chinook descended so low that there was a cloud of rotor wash round it.

I'll upload some pics soon. Was playing with aperture control and trying to take night shots without a tripod.
