::finally got the chance to execute the skating idea I had last week.. went to get the items required for the shoot after booking out.. incidentally met Zhong Wei at AP also, got an extra reciever, an optical slave and shorter LED lights..
met Zhi Hong at a park near my house, didn't really spend time scouting for a location so that was the closest suitable location I could think of.. he hasn't really changed much since the last time we met some 2 years back..


Kickflip..
turned out quite nicely as I planned, though I wished the background was darker, that way he wouldn't be so transulcent.. maybe another shoot next week with some of his other skatefriends.. chatted over supper at Macs before plonking down on my bed..

::another week has past, an explosive week quite literally.. not everyday you get to blow stuff up.. it just looks so harmless, brown blocks, cornflakes and plasticine..
Sat met up with Zhi Kai in the morning to get back my 50 1.4, killed some time at the skate park while waiting for the rest of his class.. thought of another idea for a shoot, look out for it next week.. went to Cineleisure to eat with the 0627 ppl, know most of them so it wasn't that hard to get along.. went off first to meet my own class..
a simple gathering at Michelle's house, the April NS batch just got their posting.. congrats to Joel for making it to OCS, definately will be attending his commissioning parade, as with my BMT mates'..


S80..
made use of the acrylic sheet I bought last week.. just a simple shot of my S80, don't really use it much since I got my 40D, though I ought to.. anyway, looking forward to next week.. meeting up with Zhi Hong, doing the skate shots I have in mind.. he's enlisting in July, maybe give him some NS prep talk before he goes in as well.. hahaa..::

::haven't had much sleep over the past 4 days.. did my very first guard duty, took up the prowler position with my buddy.. the first shift was quite fun, nice skies cool air almost like a walk in the park.. except you have a weapon and live ammo with you..
Friday booked out late, woke up early to help Liying with processing the next day.. not much sleep there too.. stayed up to scan the negs in, asking the lab to scan is no joke, have to pay more than twice the processing cost..


Holga in Japan..
met up with Zhi Kai on Sat, accompanied him to view some bags at CP.. bought a light strip, basically a strip of LEDs that can be battery powered.. which Zhi Kai accidentally stepped on and the lower lights couldn't light up.. luckily the shop uncle was kind enough to make an exchange.. much brighter than light sticks..
had a class gathering at Dwayne's house in the evening.. wanted to do the tennis shot I had in mind, but he was reluctant on letting my put the light strip on.. so I had to make do with this..

::went out shooting again this weekend, this time with Annie.. thought of doing some light painting/action shots.. went to Beach Road to get some light sticks and cylum straws, but didn't really use it in the end.. they just weren't bright enough for the surrounding lights.. prob need pitch black darkness in order to achieve the effect I wanted..
had our dinner at Vivocity first before setting out.. started off at the Forest Walk, quite an interesting walk.. up in the air with just metal grills below your feet, though the upslope parts are quite tiring.. after some 2.1km, we reached the Henderson Waves..


Run Free..
the view there was spectacular, some 61m above sealevel.. quite a nice way to relax too, just lying down at the sloped portions, watching the sky go by.. but too crowded to really relax, 9+ it was trawling with families taking a walk after their dinner I guess.. 10+ was more of the couple's hour..


Jump!
did some shots there.. though I think those around must think "why are those 2 crazy ppl jumping around like monkeys?" caught the last 409 at Mt Faber.. been some time since I last visited Mt Faber, last was prob in pri sch, sure changed alot..::

::back-dating this post since I didn't have much time to post during last weekend.. fully ulitilized the 2 days, woke up early on Sat to meet James to return this batts.. or that was the cover, more interested in the lighting setup he just got.. 2x 580EXIIs and a ST-E2, throw in some radiopoppers and it would be my ideal lighting setup.. did a small improvisation with our flashes and this is what we got..


The One..
total of 4 flashes used for this shot.. plus a box of Tic-Tacs which I rushed down to buy, go figure.. my 50 1.4 is more like a glorified body cap in this case.. now I know why Canon uses it for their product shots of the pro bodies, cos it balances with the cam..
met with the band alumni after that for the gathering..


outside the station..
James tagged along for awhile.. had our little picnic by the seaside, then played some games.. was quite cloudy for the day, the rain finally came in the later part..
