Singapore visitation

Made a point to visit Singapore recently due to the urgent need of a bag. Must thank Sam for letting me bunk in seeing Singapore is twice Malaysia's currency. Need to save all I can for photo equipments :) ....

Placed a booking for the Lowepro Dryzone Rover a while back from Cathay Photo in Peninsula Plaza. This place is really a photo enthusiasts dream. Cathay Photo has 2 main outlets, the other being in Marina Square. Have not been to the latter but the one in Peninsula has 5 'sub'-shops each catering for different things eg. studio, tripods, bags and accessories etc. etc. Got carried away and ended up even buying the Manfrotto 055Pro tripod (which was in the plan but the timing was early). Almost bought a ball head together with it but restrained myself.

Looks like I'll be visiting Sam again soon....fall the ball head, and to visit Sam of course. How nice of me.. :)

BioMalaysia 2006 @ KLCC

KLCC exhibition centre where BioMalaysia 2006 was held from 6th till the 8th December. In the previous year the event was held in the PCC (PutraJaya Convention Centre).

Shot taken somewhere closer to towards Taman Seputeh after heading back from BioMalaysia 2006 in very heavy traffic. 

Portrait Shooting Experimentation

This was meant to be posted prior to the spontaneous KLCC outing. Went for an excursion with fellow shutter-bugs two weekends ago for portrait shooting with the theme "In the days of sunshine", an idea from fox who also was a friend of the subject(s) or should I say models.



We tried to get Sentul Park as the location but alas without prior permission and some fees, we were unable to shoot there though the locale within was great. Changing venue, we did manage to load off a few rounds. Outdoor portrait shooting is tricky is the sun is midway in the sky. Some pictures appear washed-out. We were meant to shoot early but the change of locale meant we could not get the early light. Next aim: Night Portraits

Acknowledgements: Yes, would like to thank Cindy and Saly too for gracing us with their presence for the camera ;)
