Brods,
I left home after lunch and missed da Prexy Vic's last minute email on
where the fireworks launching area would be, so I assumed that my first
data was correct -- that it would be somewhere in the Mass Com area. .
I therefore positioned myself at the enclosed area reserved for UP
officials (where I met UP officer Miren escorted by her husband Brod
Alex). I set up my tripod and the videocam pointed in the direction of
the Mass Com area..I had a perfect view, unobstructed view of the night
sky over Masscom
Then the countdown from 10 to 1 by the master showman, Professor Joey
began. When the first salvo of pyrotechnics briedghten up the sky, lo and
behold, the launching area was a full 90 degrees to the left!
I had to shift but unfortunately could not move around because of the
great mass of people. That is why, there is this street light that is
smack in the center of the fireworks and it stays there for all the 7.5
minutes.
I also found out that my location was not very far from the launching area and when the
rockets fly high and the pyros burst out in the sky they are all out of
the camera frame.
Nevertheless, you can still have a nice view of the fireworks which all
the people around enjoyed. The emcee also announced a few times that the
sponsor is Beta Epsilon.
Enjoy the video. Here is the YouTube link:
