Happy Merdeka
4.00AM, tripod-less, 100 ISO, 2 seconds shutter speed, 3.5 aperture, 18mm, and one final result.
Translation -> It’s really hard to hold a camera totally still for 2 seconds long without any support when it’s 4 in the morning and you’re sleep deprived, but I nailed an okay-shot after a dozen tries and I’m very happy about it.
p.s. I was in office, working.

Thanks
just to impress you more, the only editing I did on that photo was adding the black border and watermark 
which is why there’s visible noise and blur 
hand was shaking, and I care too much about authenticity to digitally enhance the photo.
I do work on holiday. Unless all newspaper firm never publish anything on that day, it’s my duty to monitor them.
lol the way I said it made myself sound important. xD

Its a good picture considering the limitations but then again, you should have known better and gotten yourself a tripod or even loaned one.
Sometimes, you just got to work that little bit harder to nail the shot.

Aliya: Not all, apparently. All ran news except for The Sun, Malay Mail, and a couple more.
