Singapore National Day Parade Rehearsal Photo-Experience 2

Yesterday was another day of National Day Parade Rehearsal. For yesterday, I have decided to capture pictures of the unsung heroes who worked behind the scenes, who worked very hard to put up everything so that the show can be put up smoothly and ensure that the performers are well taken care of. Another group of people will be the some of the personnels who work during the show. Feel free to look through the pictures and give your feedback on them.

Singapore National Day Parade Rehearsal Photo-Experience 1

Yesterday was my first time taking photos at Singapore's National Day Parade Rehearsal. It was a run-through  and a Test-Time of the Parade. As I was following my superior around, I was not able to take too many photos around, but mostly were taken during the Parade. Please take a look, and feel free to give comments or feedback on the pictures taken. Thank you very much =D
