This could be my biggest post ever.... On Friday evening (18 July) I hosted the BSRC Photography Section members to a light dinner at our
place prior to the outing.
It was later followed by a walkabout at the gerai/tamu area for a challenging low-lighting photography, and later that night/midnight, off to the Bandaran KB Padang to capture last minute touch-ups as well as Dewan Santap in KB. In the team that night were Haji Salleh, Hj Mohd Jaya (&Mrs) and Hj Mahmud, prominent BLNG & BSP leaders who are also members of the Photography Section, pros like
Toolpusher, Ichinose &
Butakaler, bloggers
AJ,
Iskandarworld &
KBHappening (Friends, let me know if I overlooked anyone).
Anyway, enjoy the commentary below:
Fill the tummy before the memory card heheh... I am happy the guests enjoyed my pasta.... Chix & Mushroom Fettucine in White Cream Sauce... c-Is kan curi resipi I heard heheh
Nikonians Is & Hj Salleh preparing the settings. I think all of us end up with the highest ISO (1600 for my 450D)
We also tried different white balance settings... this is 'tunsgten light' setting...
.. whilst this is AutoWhiteBalance (AWB)
Teenagers hanging around who became our 'subject'
Our friend from Panaga Health Centre
One of the many vendors at the tamu
This is AJ. In the background is an unknown photographer (I guess Iskandar or KBHappening knows her - they both knows almost EVERYONE!)
Happy vendors... and willing models heheh
Haji Salleh, Hj Mohd & Mrs framed
Lowlight macro shooting
Haji Salleh wondering if he could trade the D300 for a 40D heheh
Toolpusher sporting a 70-200 on a D1 mkIII... WOW!
Who is the real Ichinose... Haji Bob or SpongeBob?
It took me more than 10 shots to get it this nice (at least to my humble eyes).... low light photography is really testing!
I think this shot was better, as there is a bit more light from the street lamp
Gas by BSM! who else heheh
Butakaler loaned his diffuser to built-in flash. This shot of Hj Mohd is taken with the diffuser
And this is without. You can see the difference and at $45 each, I think I'll have one thanks.
Another test shot. This was taken with flash (speed 1/60th of a second) . . .
. . . and this is without, but at speed 1/8th of a second
Toolpusher - framed within the balloons
I think this shot was taken at 1/6th of a second. Good thing the lady was standing still (although u can see her hands moving, pulling the balloons).
Haji Mahmud giving Hj Salleh the cold shoulder - for making him buy Nikon heheheh.
The fellow on the right recently converted from Nikon to Canon.... Wise move Haji. Hj Salleh & Spongebob were not amused
G-Bob (heheh not Spongey) is now the unofficial group photographer
This is Butakaler in the shadows in butakaler (monochrome!)
I took more than 30 panning shots. Here are my attemps worthy of being posted. Have to thank Ichinose for the guidance ... thanks bro!
not so bad but still a bit blurred
almost there... still blurry but better
and this was the best panning shot I could get before I got pening (headache) heheh

Hj Zainal stressing the point that we should not put the pics into our blog before 12 noon Saturday. At time of writing it is 11 am Sunday, so should be ok.
Model of the Oil Drop at the centre of the park
Another trial shots... I guess it is about the metering (I followed everything in the magazine to get the second shot, but forgot what is is about)
This shot is better than the one above
I just realised that the flowers are fresh, and produced by local nurseries (previously imported from the region!)
Major sponsors for HM's birthday celebration in KB
Menjunjung Kasih... Thank you Your Majesty
close up shot of the Brunei Coat of Arms at the Royal seats
Another trial shots... of the same thing, but different metering

There was even Power Rangers present!
Taking charge of proceedings . . .

Fill the tummy before the memory card heheh... I am happy the guests enjoyed my pasta.... Chix & Mushroom Fettucine in White Cream Sauce... c-Is kan curi resipi I heard heheh
