RE: Sydney's New Year Fireworks Display 2019

in #travel5 years ago

Wow! It sounds likes they've really figured out cashing in on the fireworks! No more sneaky free viewing.
That camera must be pretty amazing to capture the fireworks so well. I was trying to get some Christmas lights pictures recently and my camera really wasn't playing ball.

I have been told that each ticket is $A50 each, they pack in thousands of people everywhere that they can.
the cost of the fireworks must be amazing, 15 to 20 minutes of that quantity of fireworks wouldn't be cheap, and they were laid against a thunderstorms rainfall, and all went off on que.
The camera is a Canon EOS 70D, borrowed from @trevor,george, the "
Little old man, running". it was complaining that it was just sitting at home, bored, never going out, so it was carried [wrapped in a baby's blanket] for the trip.

It is capable of a lot more than I used, there is so many options that this old bloke got confused, and left it on auto,

sounds like me when it comes to photography. Stick to the auto. I'm sure it was glad to get out and about again!

I don't think I could cope with the crowds for the event. Your boat trip sounds like a more preferable way to go. There's also staying at home and seeing it on the telly! :D
So we're those prices you got because you hadn't booked in advance?

the prices are what they are, I believe, we were told by 3 or 4 different people, later.
the boat was a special, I think it depends if it is still above water whether they sail or not.
while you can sit at home, with all the comforts, you miss out on the atmosphere and the other sights that the TV doesn't show.
I filled in part of the "between times" bit showing a young Asian girl how to wrap the camera strap around her arm/hand to help cut movement and, if necessary, act as a great basher if she is attacked. it stops the camera being pinched as well.

Ever more uses for cameras. Self defence too!

imagine a camera, firmly attached to the hand/wrist, being swung with a round house swing, connecting with the attackers face.
You may need a new camera, but he will need a new face.
