Knowing how dynamic such shows are I decided to record movie clips instead of photographing. I used my Note 10, sometimes mounted on DJI Mimo gimbal. Since this website doesn’t support movies I had to pull out frames for publication but having many clips to review and finding the process of grabbing stills very laborious I decided to divide this subject into more entries. I will publish some pics now and proceed to other things to not get bored to death with this backbreaking job. I hope I will have strength and patience to come back to this topic later and publish some more shots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The first show starts at 6 pm but the best impressions give those performed later, during the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Security tried their best to manage the crowd but there were inevitable congestions at the doors and narrow passages when people poured out of the mall to observe the shows or crammed back afterwards. I thought I will see one spectacle and head home but ended up seeing at least 5 (each one different than the others) and arrived back at the hotel around 11 pm. Needless to say it was fantastic experience. Burj Khalifa has its own light show as well but it is worth of a separate post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pictures can’t do justice to this wonderful spectacles. I will have to think about creating an youtube channel for publishing movies I made. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Synchronization with music was perfect and each show was a real piece of art, not just random set of bursts and swings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Loud bangs can be heard at the end of most powerful bursts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clever application of lights makes an illusion of fiery explosions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I saw many fountain arenas like that around the world and until now I considered the one in front of Bellagio Casino in Las Vegas to be the best… <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wish I could also see the New Year’s fireworks show. Probably it would be superior to my favorite one of Hong Kong as well.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
