A photo taken on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year 2009, of my niece and nephew playing with fireworks. Kids are always the most joyous people during CNY…

Today (Feb 9) officially marks the end of CNY 2009; CNY is traditionally celebrated from New Year’s Eve to the 15th day on the New Year, each day with its own significance.
Chinese these days don’t have the luxury to celebrate the entire festival though; most people would have resumed their daily (working) routine by the 5th day of CNY, and waited until the last day (the Lantern Festival) for some final celebrations.
Happy Chinese New Year once more… best wishes to everyone.

YeinJee, how did you make the background blurry but keep the fireworks in focus in that picture? That’s a cool image.
By controlling the shutter speed… this photo was taken with a two seconds shutter speed (normal pics are taken at fraction of a second).
very beautiful pic, yeinjee! btw, all the best to you this year – and may yr blog cont’ to grow :)
All the best to you too Quachee :)
Nice shots!!!!!
New Year’s approaching again, and I can not wait to see the fireworks.
