2012 New Year Eve in Sydney

Date : 31 December 2012
Location : Blues Point Reserve, Sydney

First time joining the crowds preparing to usher the New Year with my friends here.
Reached at our location around 11am and the hotspot which we want to have for the best view has been taken up by other photo enthusiasts.
I guess they have been there early in the morning...

Got our tent pitched up and food all ready, picnic for the rest of the day overseeing Sydney Harbour.
It was really a very hot sunny day and packed with lots of people awaiting for the fireworks display later at night (once at 9pm and the final show at 12am).

A very nice view of sunset of the day and we managed to capture some magnificent views of it with boats/ships around which made the photos more lively (between 7:30pm to 8pm).

After taking shots of sunset, all geared up for set up and get ready to capture the fireworks display at 9pm.

Some of the shots at 9pm...

Then took a break and captured some shots of Sydney Harbour Bridge with Sydney Opera House at night time.

In standby mood again at around 11:30pm and tested a few times on the camera setting to make sure that everything works.
Midnight strucked and whole Sydney Harbour was lit up by fireworks for about 12 minutes.

Happy New Year 2013...!!!
