Chingay in Bedok

Last night, when Jason & I were walking home from our dinner at Bedok Mall, we came across a crowd of residents lining up the roads at the main Bedok road junction. 

We found out from a policeman that the Chingay is coming to Bedok soon. I rushed home to grab my newly purchased Canon G7X camera and was back on the streets again.

Here are some photos taken of the Chingay procession :

 2 lions dancing at the beginning of the procession.

 Then the long and colourful dragon.....

These are 2 of the colourful floats

Some interaction between the performers and the residents.

All the photos and videos were taken with my new Canon G7X that I bought for my coming overseas travels as carrying my DSLR camera has proven to be too bulky.

Why Canon G7X then?

Its sensor is bigger than the typical digital compact camera and mobile cameras but still 1/2 the size of a DSLR sensor though. However, good enough.

G7X has proven to be very good for night shots as seen above, taken with handheld night scene feature.
