I thought that you might have used tripod, because of pretty slow shatter speed for handheld photo. The third photo looks the best in interms of exposure .

In fact the first and third photo was taken with tripod, I have to shoot it very fast as it was very crowded in the exhibition.
As for the 2nd photo it was very challenging as I hand held the tripod to the middle of the flower plate to aim and take in the air with 10 second timing because there is a barrel in front.

Daniela is right. You can reduce some noise in Lightroom. It is just important not to overdo it. Also it all depends how the picture is going to be used and in which size. Noise is always more visible on the larger picture.
I would assure you very not aloud to use a tripod there, right?

Liked the photos in particular the 1st and 3rd. Looks like a very interesting event.
If noise is your problem, just work your photo in Lightroom (LR). It's a very good program created for photography. Reduce noise by decreasing the slider on the right side of the screen (on development tools of course). Sometimes I shot with 4000 ISO and there is no problem with the noise because I reduce it in LR about 70% until I feel the image is ok without artificial distortion (like a plasticine look) caused by extreme noise reduction operations.

Ya, that is one of my favourite in the Festival. It looks like a blue rainbow. I think it will be better if I can shot it sharper and less noise.

You have some exiting staff in Singapore. Everything is so colorful and creative. The first picture is my favorite. Love the light, colors and composition. My eye is travelling along the arch of flowers.
