This year the season started,, fotogs are get set ready for actions.

The officials did their job well ..and their behavior to the fotogs were very good and nice approach. Thumbs up to the organizing committee it was an awesome event!; they distributed safety jacket for every freelance fotogs and allow to run besides the track. especially they arranged drinks and snacks for everyone in the field. .after all safety is first. :).

about the riders, they are awesome. no words.. they keep the spirit till the end. and this time race was in a new track. for the fotog point of view the new track is superb..(the new track is located besides 6th ring road and behind pro cart race track. Gate 3&4)

one more specialty i had in this season, in during the first year i had shoot the race alone. i was not aware about the crazy fotogs in Kuwait and they were spread with out any connections. but in this year i have very good fotog friends... to share the moments each other.

Kuwait's 50th constitution day Celebrations

66 sec. long exposure ISO 100 F/14 ND8Filter.

I am so happy to attend the Kuwait's 50th constitution ceremony. and in continuation with the fireworks which break the Guinness book of world records(77,282 Fireworks !).
and also they used pyrotechnic for this event.
the total expense of this event was calculated around 4.5 million Kuwaiti dinars. :P
i reached there after 2:00 pm i know it was too early for the fireworks which is starting at 8:00 pm, still im happy because i have got a nice location and a good parking space and reached there with out traffic block. i have got surprised the organizing committee arranged some light food for the early comers and also refreshments like juice water etc.

till the firework starts they arranged some airshow and kite shows. actually it was little boring still its worth and compensate the firework which broke the world record.
the firework took around 1 hour 15 min long. all the photographers were happy because everyone got nice shots. and had lots of time to set and take photos...

really surprised the shots.. i took most of the shots more than 30 sec exposure, some of them i have taken around 120 seconds..realized..ND filters are good for fireworks too..
also this was my first firework shoot . satisfied lots with the shots.
and also i captured the whole event in video with my Nikon P7000 Semi prof. point shoot. he did his works well..
