Gaya Street

Went to Gaya Street again yesterday morning.  I used to bring along my 70-300mm due to it’s just perfect for sniping from a corner.  However, the shutter speed can be slowed especially when zoom all the way to 300mm due to shades along the street market and the narrow aperture.  Not to mention if I want to shoot a close up of something, I will have to stand at the minimum focus distance, which is about 5ft away.  It’s just too inconvenient consider the place is all jam packed.

So, I brought my Nikon 105mm macro lens along yesterday.  After all, it’s one of the reasons I bought this lens, able to shoot macro and portrait with ease.  Besides, with its wide aperture, I can have the shutter speed value higher than the focal length, with ISO-200.  It’s just perfect!

A Walk At The Playground

After had an afternoon tea with a friend, I was planning to go for a short photo shootout at some rural areas before I go home but the weather was not nice.  So I thought why not try it at my residential area playground…might be able to catch some snaps after rain.  There the rain stopped, sun came out…

Bakery factory staffs’ kids having fun at the playground after the rain.  Continue the World Cup fever!

They asked me to take picture of them.  Yea, they aren’t shy kids, and they do know how to pose. LOL.

It is quite a normal scene in this part of the world. Housing developer actually uses it on playground. Just imagine how serious can it be if kids accidently bang their head on it.  Yea, it’s made of concrete.

Poor village kid’s toy…
