Tropical island fun

Went to Pulau Ubin last Sunday for an outdoor photo shoot as part of the course. It had been raining intermittently the whole morning, tapering off to an overcast sky only as we boarded the bumboat and made our way to the island.

Most of us did not have any prior experience with outdoor shoots, but thankfully, neither did the model. Too nervous to chat with the model and shoot at the same time, we fumbled with lens and camera while Stanley adjusted her poses.

We sat down to cool off at a drinks stall after an afternoon of shooting. Tiring work, but enjoyable. I can imagine how much harder a full-day wedding shoot would be - more stressful, more tiring and probably not so much fun. According to Stanley's wife, the last two student photographers attached to Stanley for full-day wedding shoots had called in sick at work on the following day.

A couple of mindless shots from that day (no model pics yet):

This was a lucky shot of a kid on the child seat of a bicycle that zoomed past our drinks stall. I thought I'd missed the shot and picked up a frame of shophouse wall, but surprisingly it turned out pretty well.

Go mom go!

Don't mind doing more of these outdoot shoot thingies. Great exercise! :D
