MIFC 2008 Team Australia, Putrajaya

Hi readers.... It's been awhile since i last blogged.. Well guess im not in that mood that few days back..Anyway.. Went out with Dominic again to shoot the fireworks in Putrajaya.. It seems that i've missed quite a lot of action and drama from Team Spain's and Canada's performance.. Well.. its ok i guess and i believe Team Australia will not disappoint me with their final performance for this year..

Well.. Reached the Sentul KTM station at around 4.30pm with Yew Wei to meet Dom as he promised us nice space for shooting and Media passes for the night which entitled us for a free Buffet dinner in a restaurant in the PICC building.. Woohoo.. We were the media photographers for the night.. Wonderful.. But.. we need to get there as early as 5pm..

Some shots of the PICC building before the show..

The Sunset and Pre-dawn scenes of Putrajaya..



Well.. after a romantic and beautiful sunset and pre-dawn moment there.. The night falls.. the light slowly fades and before long its totally dark..

Therefore.. We decided to try out some long exposure technique.. light sculpting and creative flash lightings using BULB exposures.. Thanks to all the sifus who shared their secrets with noobs like me.. Dom who was so sporting and ''photogenic'' decided to be my model for the night..

The end result... using BULB mode.. speedlight and mini torchlight..

He looks like a Playboy Rabbit huh??

Anyway.. the long awaited fireworks started around 10pm and to my delight it is nice.. better than Team China i could say.. It was a romantic night for couples who brought their partners.. Entertaining for young kids and Challenging for us as photographers to shoot the scene as the smoke is very thick and its tricky..

But in the end.. i managed a few shots which i am satisfied with.. but i am lazy to process and edit.. The below is my favourite shot of the day.. I hope you readers enjoyed.. =P
