Poland @ The World Pyro Olympics It was worth the wait for an outstanding Poland show which started past 10pm already. … Australia’s Black and White finale @ the World Pyro (this is not overexposed 🙂 The defending champion, Australia was a disappointment. … However, it feels like a low budget pyrotechnic show since the fireworks were smaller; there were lots of gaps in between the fireworks.

As a way of promoting the Philippines, we need to have more Photo blogs that features that very best of what Philippines is all about. … As a way of appreciation to all of my friends and readers who supported Our Awesome Planet, I plan to conduct Photo blogging lessons on Fireworks Photography during the World Pyro Olympics 2007 . … All you need to do is post a comment to register to these lessons and put the following information: Name: Date you will be joining: What are your expectations: What camera are you using: Mobile number: (or email me privately at anton@diaz.ph) What’s in it for me?

It is official that the 2nd World Pyro Olympics in 2007 (instead of 2006) will be held on the weekends of Jan 5-7 and with the finale on the weekend of Jan 12-13, 2007. … As for me, my strategy is to walk from the Seaside Area because it would be difficult to go out the esplanade and MOA area after the show. … Awards, such as the People’s Choice are to be given out after the exhibition, with the crowning of the World Pyro Olympics Champion ending the event.” (from official website: www.worldpyroolympics.com ) I’m soo excited again and can’t wait!

This firework scene makes it all worth it to see this hanging lanterns in the sky that lasts for 45 seconds (which is the longest fireworks we have seen!). Imagine the entire night sky, filled will all these dropping colorful balls of light for 45 seconds of pure fireworks bliss! … This is enough to erase the memories of enduring the stand-still traffic that lasted until 2am in the morning, listening to criticism that the Philippines show was just standard for most part compared to the other 9 countries, and watching in agony as some of the fireworks exploded in water.

By the way, just for the record there were only 9 countries competing excluding Philippines since it is home territory and for sure we won’t match the sheer money that Australia and US can muster to have a jaw dropping fireworks.
…What’s so great about it is that its spacious and we were able to secure a spot directly in the break water edge to take the awesome shots of UAE and the La Mancha’s Fellowship of Fire. For P100 entrance fee, you get to watch four (4) awesome bands for the Finale night (Menaya, Tropical Depression, Itchyworms, Kapatid) This is one of the hassles of using portable toilets whether you are rich or poor, you have to use the portalets.

Glorious Heaven My brother and I was able to get a nice spot in the special viewing area where you pay P250 for dinner, comfortable space and directly in front of the barge! Here are the awesome pictures of UAE 🙂

A Date with Fireworks Day 4 of the World Pyro and I’m enjoying every moment of it along with all the other Filipinos who love world class entertainment. … It was oohs and aahs throughout and I’m glad I made it to the show considering I came from a Viaje del Sol tour the whole morning. Here are some more scenes of families enjoying the fireworks show to give you a feel of the ambiance and environment in Diosdado Macapagal viewpoint.

Not a lot of people know Seaside Macapagal Blvd and they mistake this for Baclaran Seaside and got turn off when you say lets meet in Seaside. … Fireworks starts at 7.30-8.00 and 9.00-9.30pm so expect heavy traffic during this time because cars would literally be stopping at macapagal blvd. … At night, the fish is not fresh anymore so if you don’t know leave it to the restaurant to buy it for you.

We were in Diosdado Macapagal and endured the traffic as we saw motorists fighting to get into blue wave with the heavy rains. … Unfortunately, that was the sad story for Germany where its starting to get a lot better than the Australia show with a fountain formation in the beginning. … The oohhs and the aahhs where replaced by aaayyy, (sayang) with a firm resolute to watch it for the last 3 days… sigh 🙁 Bring Rain gear if you are going: Jacket, Umbrella, protective cover for camera..
