Children Portraiture

I was accompanying Master LH Tan to youth park to shoot children portraiture yesterday. It was pretty challenging to capture the best moment of the littles. They don't smile or show happy expression when they are posing to you. And their action are quick so I will have to use Manual Mode and set it to high speed shutter for lightning quick capture and big aperture to blur the background. I end up sweating for that one hour sessions.

Kek Lok Si Temple Lighting Up Ceremony

Kek Lok Si temple in Air Itam in Penang will be all lighted up with more than 10,000 lanterns and 230,000 multi-coloured bulbs. And most probably fireworks to go with it. We will be hiking to the vegetable farm nearby to get the best angle of Kek Lok Si Temple lighting up and hope to capture some fireworks inside our night landscape. If you were to join us tonight, please wear trainers. Don't wear slippers or working shoes or else you will just torture yourself when we are doing the hiking. Tripod is strongly recommended.
