James 127

1 month ago, I was being asked to be the photographer for James 127 camp. I guess it never is something that you get used to, knowing that your task is to take photographs, while simultaneously you would very much like to take part in the activities, being able to interact with your group more.



As the camp progressed, most of the apprehension of what to expect from the camp faded away as the activities began to briefly touch on issues such as child prostitution, poverty, child slavery, etc. As most of the activities were held indoors due to a rainy day, I struggled to keep my iso low inside. Luckily, my prime lens were fast enough to keep the shutter speed acceptable.

Looking forward to taking photographs for youth camp!

Anyway, I'm learning to create slide shows for my photos, I wonder what do professional photographers use for their slide shows?

Renewal Idol 2008

Really had great fun with renewal idol, good exposure to the horrible conditions for photography on a budget. Poor lighting(well, lighting effects were great, but just very little light), and lots of movement = plenty of blur photos. Shall not bore with the technicalities, but took me quite some time to figure out how to take the best photos that i can manage with my current equipment and skills.

Some photos from the rehearsal:





And some photos from the actual day:














Some contestant photos:





Looking forward to Renewal Idol 2009!

Ultimate Frisbee @ East Coast part 1

Promised to help MJ out for the Ultimate Frisbee tournament at East Coast. First time shooting for people other than myself, so kinda stressed in the beginning. But as it went on, it turned out to be quite fun. Of course, the wonderful weather helped lots=)


Young team, lots of fun.


Another young team, even more fun. Kept asking for more photos, more and more.



A little cheer helps a ton.


Some planning before the match starts...

Game on.










Time out, debrief.








It got boring for some...



Not so for others, apparently.

But it was great fun at the end of the day, all in the name of sportsmanship.

GG.
