Vagabond’s Caravan

Finally I’m here to update my blog and feature some photos I shoot during the 3-in-1 (float procession, fireworks & Tug-o-War) celebration for His Majesty’s 62nd birthday. It was a great night and I really enjoyed it, with ChiHo, WeiYik, ChungSun and Edwin Lim. =) Like JinYang said, my campaign (as mentioned in the previous post) is doing great and I can see great potential in Edwin, lol!

We (me & ChiHo) reached there at about 5.30pm (to avoid traffic jam), and the rest met up with us by 7pm. We were basically roaming around, shooting while waiting for the float procession and fireworks. I shoot mainly candid and kids/babies because this is the very few occasion which you can see interesting people in Brunei and most aren’t intimidated by cameras (many even posed for us). I was using ChiHo’s 50mm (thanks mate!) so it’s mainly portraits. =p

The fireworks are not quite as amazing but it’s nice to watch, too! It’s long but I was hoping for more big fireworks, rather than a lot of lil’ one, lol. But yea, really long firework show (and there’s 3-4 of them in total throughout the night), I was too lazy to shoot it tho’, since we weren’t in the best position to shoot it, =p

I met JinYang that night, the very first time we met (after knowing each other online), he were snapping around with his 450D + IS lens, =) We also met a couple school mates, Marcos and Arif and etc. =D And at the end of the day (10-11pm), we went MeiKuang to have supper (tired after hours of wandering) and then we went back to padang to shoot and play around with the float procession which parked there and ready to leave. It was fun! =p Crazy camwhore time, duh.

Guess that’s all, photo time! =p This is a black & white series, the best way to present street candid and portraitures, =p I love this series, so yea, hope you guys like it as well, do comment, yea? =)

^ A videographer from RTB, =p I like the way he hold his expression and block all distraction - including being shot by me for about half a minute (2 shots, I think. But takes a bit of manual focusing, =p) He need to minimize vibration and movement, i.e. victim of candid! =D I love the DoF in this shot, too!

Last Wednesday, we (Maktab Duli Health Awareness Club) had a visit to JPMC (Jerudong Park Medical Center).

It was interesting and fun, we get to see luxury rooms (B$800 per month, B$300 per month and such), all the machines and stuffs. I was busy shooting most of the time tho, running to the front of everyone (or tailing at the back) and squeeze from one corner of the room to another corner, just to get the wide-angle shot I want, haha.

Something notable, our ‘tour guide’, Olivia has an amazing accent and very good English, listening to her is enjoyable. =)

Special thanks to JingYi (the President), teacher and Olivia for making this trip such a big success (except for the delay, we reach school at around 5pm+, and some parents were worried I think).

Ok, as usual, I would let the photos do the talking. (Crap, the more I shoot, the less I type. And I think my writing skill is getting worse and worse, although it had never been good)

^ I love this group photo, no one blinked! That’s tough. =p I love the reflection on the glasses behind us, too! =D Continue Reading…

This is my Canada cousin’s daughter, Carrie. She’s so naughty and cute! She is really, really very smart (for her age, which is around 2 years old, I think), and very definitely brought lots of fun to us all. =p Continue Reading…
