2nd Night Outing on 05th December 2008

Last night (05th Dec 2008), my office Photo Club went for our second night outing in BSB, and this time, the main objective was to do some group flash photography with masjid SOAS set as background.

I arrived in BSB at 7pm and met up with HMZ, ZulH, Zul BruneiTeam and Cybercanon at the front of BIBD HQ Building, and then proceed to Taman SOAS and set up all our equipment near the Taman fountain.

Unfortunately, just as we were about to start taking photo, we felt some drop of rain, so we have to pack up and went to the stand instead. So we tried doing flash photography there instead. Unfortunately, due to the limited space/area, I somehow got lack of idea on what type of pictures I wanted to take, so I end up taking these two photo only. ZulH and Cybercanon have posted their photo HERE and HERE respectively. Update: Zul BruneiTeam have posted his photos, you can check it out HERE.

So after an hour at Taman and hoping the rain to stop, which unfortunately it didn't (2nd night outing and 2nd time it rain, maybe next time we can get 3rd time lucky? eheh...), so we decide to go to KFC (Kianggeh Food Centre). On the way to KFC, we met with Engmatc, AmateurLens and Amir, who join us to KFC.

But before we get something to eat, we decide to get just one more photo shooting around KFC area (HMZ idea actually... eheh... we already thought of having our dinner by that time...) Unfortunately (again...), my mind was already think about food, so I don't know how to become creative again, and the lack of the "perahu tambang" with light makes me unable to try to get some light trail on water. So I just took these pictures.

New Canon advertisement? eheh... took this one out of boredom... seriously, I didn't know what to take last night...

Then by almost 9pm, we end our night outing session and head to the food stall for our dinner and had our chit-chat... We planned to go back by 10pm, unfortunately (yes, another unfortunate event) it was raining heavily (we parked our car across the road) and we don't want to take the risk of having our equipment end up getting wet even though most of us have lowepro bag, so we just sit there and continue our chit-chat.

10.30pm+, it is still raining, but not that heavy, and it's already getting late, so what to do, we just have to endure the rain before it got heavier again, and luckily (at last...), the rain did get heavier by the time we reach our car, really heavy...

So that conclude our second night outing at BSB. Although we didn't get the chance to take more photo, but it was still a fun outing with all the chit-chat and stuffs... Cybercanon managed to try out ZulH's Tokina 11-16mm & 70-200mm (owh... he's getting his own Tokina 116 soon...). I managed to meet Zul BruneiTeam, my exclassmate whom I have never met for the last 19 yrs! And Amir get to try out his new Canon EOS 50D, welcome to the club Amir... :)

As for future outing, due to our luck with rain for the 2nd time running, we decide to do day outing, though date and location haven't been decided yet (though tomorrow, we will be going out to Yayasan for the BIBD Charity Sale, don't know to consider that as a outing or just coverage... eheh...) But you can be sure if there is an outing, I will report and post the pictures here... so stay tuned... cheers... :)
