This is my very first clubsnap nikon outing and i must say that it has been great! 
Thanks to mr.chngpe01 and other moderators for arranging this moving experience for all the nikon enthusiasts.
Special thanks to Francis for the sharing of tips & techniques for doing night photography. Greatly appreciated his time and patience in explaining and demonstrating some interesting skills using black card to create special effects such as zoom, step zoom, light painting etc. We too learnt about how black card comes useful for firework shots.
All in all, i have enjoyed the outing very much.
Shall attempt to post my pix, hopefully could qualify for the nikon outfit.
Look forward to the next outing and hope that we'll get the chance to join once again!
cheers

Dun have many good one but first time trying to push the D300 beyond ISO 1250. Thanks for organising this outing.
arrrggghhhh!

You slow lah. :bsmilie:
Here's the main points from Francis for the night photography :
1) 6.45pm - 7.15pm - Rule of 8
A Mode, F8, ISO 100
2) beyond 7.15pm - Rule of 88
M Mode, F8, 8", ISO 100, WB-Auto.
Note: this is a general guideline, try 1st shot to gauge whether to over expose or under expose.
3) use of black card as the 2nd shutter to cut out exposure.
eg 1: street lights that usually will cause over exposure
eg 2: foreground is brighter than background, could cover with black card for the brighter areas to remove the required exposure.
4) for DSLR without ISO 100, could use F11.
5) starburst effect is demonstrated with the 6-star filter lens
6) zoom effect was demonstrated
-> create shootout effect
7) zoom effect with black card was demonstrated - from wide to close up
-> create repetitive subject from far to near
8) zoom effect without black card was demontrated - from wide to close up
-> create repetitive subject from far to near with a trail effect
9) use of black card for firework
cheers

Thanks!
Just to add:
10) Use the viewfinder curtain (if equipped) to prevent stray light from fooling the camera metering system. (if not using M mode)
11) Framing. Try to exclude unnatural items (like tree branches, construction sites) in the frame when taking landscape shots.
12) Important use of tripod, bulb mode, and cable release for taking fireworks. Expose the background sufficiently before the fireworks come on. Use small aperture for thin trails, bigger aperture for thicker light trails.
Looking forward to the "painting with light" lesson!

Taking this opportunity to wish Nikon, Clubsnap, Peng Eik and everyone involved for making this outing possible. Heres my take.
An image of a capsule against Singapores banking district, busy port and soon to be IR area.
Capsule 1 in charge, Ortega photography in progress.
Old friends getting together, chit chatting.
Peng Eik looking tired but always ready to answer any queries on Nikon cameras and lenses.
Not forgetting, thanks to everyone for the great company!
