yesterday afternoon was good. went for photog...only about 10+ pple turned up...we were gonna go to kent ridge park..but it rained so instead we went to an exhibition at allianz francaise quite fun....though couldn't see much out of the photos. there was a painting-like photo of venice during a sunset....the colours of the sky and clouds were so.....unreal. hmm. but no one said that one was nice=S...even the guy himself said sunsets aren't worth much, since you can get them anywhere on earth, not just venice......he said it's the city that fascinated him...the pple...the buildings etc. heheh i told cai, ah well too bad, i guess i'm a sucker for pretty sunsets.
i hate taking photos of buildings and pple. urgh. what's so interesting about them-_- scenery is alot better=) jaja?
harhar oh well guess i'm not quite there yet..that's all i can say.

then we went for dinner at scotts, nice atmosphere...nice pple....a scary thought ran across the inside of my head though.
then we dispersed...most of them went home, but cai wanted to walk around orchard. she was saying how it was a pity we didn't get to shoot stuff, especially when most of the seniors brought their equipment (vampire I brought his tripod.) and she had brought the school camera her friend had lent her. so we said, let's go down orchard rd and take photos!
1st we were at the corner in front of a bar...it was quite nice....you could see a photo in it...like how the pple were drinking and smoking at the bar....then i noticed this bloodhound-look-alike (it was grey) which was sprawled at the foot of a guy's chair...looking all depressed and i-don't-give-a-damn-ish. so i took a photo of that...could have turned out cool but nah the skill's not there=P

and then cai took the entrance of the subway (just felt like saying that. mrt sounds...not quite there) we tried playing around with the shutter speed aperture (chanting away:"increase aperture means should decrease shutter, but then again it's cloudy and we wanna take it with xxx effect, so aperture constant shutter decrease" which resulted as "heck" in the end of course)...but like cai said "it isn't sunny it isn't overcast.." (amongst "it isn't morning it isn't night" and "they're not young they're not old either"). then we tried taking trees with buildings as the background.....it'll turn out boring i think. and then, came this group of....really weird looking guys. it was really funny, the whole walkway parted as the group came through. they were wearing black, black tees with skulls on them, big rings, (really, not just the qian li kind) spiky and big hair =S they were damn cool. we were like, oh we gotta get a shot of that...but we didn't dare stand smack in front of them, lest they'd smash our camera/kick us aside...so after they turned i nudged cai and she sneaked a few snaps=) snapped a few sneaks. nah. sneaked a few snaps.
hmm..old newspaper man....looking forlorn...as the crowd rushes past....see? everything's picture perfect. the old man looked a little angry when he turned around and saw us pointing the camera at him though=S....so much so we walked all the way around the pillar just to avoid him=) hope the blurring of the crowd turns out well.
and the rest....consisted of taillights of cars....crowds....and stopping in the middle of a crossing to take photos of cars head on, and cai thinking it was rather crazy. (fun=))

so ended my day. and i was gonna keep this short.
