did not have a good sleep last nite - it rained this morning. but already signed up for his first pentax outing. so had to drag himself from bed and made it to mc donald in singapore plaza, just after 8am.... only one shooter was there - whitepaper.... then more came... 19 in all. started shooting at 9am; from sing plaza, cathay cinema, seligie road, lassale college of arts, raffles hotel..... finished at 11.30am. there was a break for tauhuichui along seligie road.
it was fun!
but other saturdays, he has golf, only can attend the outing if it falls on 1st saturday of the month.
this saturday's shooting theme was using the 135mm "sniper" lens to shoot. this is a mid range zoom lens - the advantage of using a longer focal length lens is you can shoot people from a farther distannce, hence minimise the chance of being noticed by the subject - hence can shoot them in their natural state; and let the picture tell a story, vs shooting someone when they are aware of the fact that you are taking their picture, hence stop doing what they are doing....
like the law of physics that says - the act of observing disturbs the object under observation..... as a street photographer, you have to avoid that.
