Everyone is talking about the World Pyro Oympics 2009 since last Friday and Saturday, everyone was there and all my blogger and photographer friends were there and did an amazing coverage, photo above is from Alvin Chua, i just saw it from his Flickr album and that's my favorite pic, the fireworks looks like a flower or a balloon.
Many people are talking to me and hoping for my coverage, but its a sad part in my end that I didn't make it going there and didn't have time to buy tickets for myself, but I was planning to shoot it this Saturday and will try out this photography concept in capturing fireworks, some of my friends are excited on this concept but after a few hours we learned a sad news from our blogger networks about this postponement and the organizers moved the event to January 2010. full details are posted below as I received it from a photographer friend who work under the marketing group for the event.

Due to safety considerations of the firing site where the fireworks will be launched, the Executive Committee of the World Pyro Olympics (WPO) has decided to postpone the staging of the WPO 2009 to January 2010. Originally set on November 28, December 5, 12 and 19, at the Bonifacio Global City, WPO will continue as soon as the safety issues have been fully addressed. The incessant rains and flooding during the past months have rendered the firing area almost unfit for pyrotechnics launchings which have certain international standards to observe. The participating countries have thus agreed to postpone the event.
Tickets purchased will still be honored on the new event dates. Final dates will be announced very soon on this website. Please keep checking for updates.
Ticket holders are requested to contact our hotlines at 568-6908 / 384-0239 or log on to www.worldpyroolympics.com for more details.
The World Pyro Olympics is still set to deliver the GREATEST SHOW ON EARTH. Stay posted for details.
