These are just two of my favourite shots from the weekend. Can you guess what's going on without the captions? If you can, I've told the story decently. If I haven't, then there's a lot more brushing up to do. :O) Post your answers and we'll see if it tallies!
The take home for me is "Can your picture tell the story without the caption?"
During the past weekend, I was in for a real treat! Sony Style (Singapore) organised a photography seminar/ workshop with two veteran National Geographic photographers - Michael Yamashita and Kris LeBoutillier. Both have travelled widely and are gurus in their respective fields. Besides the technical aspect of handling a DSLR (Digital Single Reflex Lens) camera, there is also all those years of experience from the two that I've absorbed in the last two (full) days. Michael alone has chalked up to some 25 years of field work! If you would like to catch them, they'll be at Takashimaya's Kinokuniya this Saturday (Aug 30) 3pm, signing autographs. Ha!
Sony loaned me an Alpha 200 on day 1 and an Alpha 350 on the second day. I've been shooting using auto for all these years, I actually felt retarded going 100% full DSLR on the first day. (For those of you who don't know, I only own a DSL-Lite - an R1 who has served me well all these years.) I've also learnt so much from my fellow course mates who were willing to share what they know. This alone is priceless - just having a pool of knowledge to tap from when I get stuck with photo issues.
Inspiring!! Keep moving forward!
That's us outside the Sri Mariamman Temple at Chinatown after catching a Hindu priest blessing a family car. (GREAT PHOTO OP!) That dark patch on my polo isn't perspiration. Was at the fish market some 30 minutes earlier and while he was hosing down his stall, a fishmonger accidentally threw water on me. (Am still wondering if the water's fresh or was it from some where else...) Ahhh, the joys of field work!
