His Majesty's 61st Birthday: Bersama Rakyat

Bersama Rakyat meaning a royal get-together, a chance for the people of Brunei to get up close to meet and greet His Majesty. His Majesty's didn't disappoint, shaking hands with his subjects who eagerly awaited from early morning, along the maze of white tented platform at the Taman all the way to the student lined streets towards the Mercu Dirgahayu Monument at the old customs building. I was most impressed when His Majesty even stopped and pose for a little girl who requested a picture with her small digital cam and all this under the hot blaring sun.

InspiRed Walk

*Click the above to enter gallery

Bandar was painted in RED this morning as everyone donned RED shirt in support of the AIDS Walk of Life. The event organised to create awareness and raise funds for the Brunei Darussalam Aids Council, started from the Taman SOAS and back. The effective buzz thru the air waves and blogs all week were apparent in the strong turn-out. I think everyone agrees that this should be an annual event in Brunei like in many cities around the world.

Congratulations to the Aids Council for a job well done...

Cool Mama....

Macro Morning

Macro Outing???? True...that first pic is not a macro. Coincidently during our macro outing at Tasek Lama, a group from DCA were having a day out. You would think I missed this opportunity to take some panning shots...

I have to admit, I'm not a big fan of macro photography, it takes a lot of patience ( ..which I simply don have!) especially if the subject is micro insects and after a while looking thru macro lens, u get that 'pening' effect from the eye strain. Thanks to the group today, I learned some pointers on macro especially the art of stunning the insects with a flash burst.

Happy Belated Birthday to the anakbrunei, who treated us the morning breakfast at JC and founder of a new sport??

Zero Sunday

I missed out on a good JC morning eventho I came in earlier, but had to leave for duty. Sorry bugs! My whole Sunday gone, zero and to top it off it was an exhausting one.

My Monday was a long one too....*sigh

Its a good thing I came in for the Y-class today, helps me relax and clears my head!!

Poolside and Poses 2

I prefer black and white to colour, its simple and shows more essence. I found out that we were caught in action HERE . Didn't realised we were shot too! Always good to meet new people and bloggers. It was a good learning, shooting models in very low light. Not easy but have to be creative. Not many shots to choose from but the rest of the pics can be found HERE

Poolside and Poses

When anakbrunei suggested that we should have an evening of T-bone steak and shoot models at the Sheraton, I was all game. It turn out to be an evening of catching up with the sharpshooters since it has been a while exchanging learnings, over juicy steak and beautiful subjects posing poolside. Beautiful....

Oh shall we post the suprise male model too?

Nationalism-effect

I'm still feeling the buzz from the National Day weekend. The celebration was simply explosive, one of those where one had to be there at the Taman first hand to savor the moment. Magnifique! This is also my first to take part as a shutterbug. I was like a child in a candy store, so many Kodak Moments if only our memory card are endless. It was also the biggest gathering of shutterbugs, who came out in full force.

Right after the National Day, I hurriedly scoot to attend the nephews birthday and later on in the evening another birthday do. What a rush....Happy Birthday Rozia!! Much Lovexx....

Warna Kemerdekaan: After

Warna Kemerdekaan: Di Padang

Warna Kemerdekaan: Perbarisan Lalu

Warna Kemerdekaan: Bersiap

The 23rd Brunei National Day was a kaleidoscope of colors and patriotism ; a shutterbug's paradise.

Patriotism

Today was the largest gathering of photographers and photobloggers, who came out in full force to capture the colourful ceremony. I saw some new tricks; the art of holding a brolly while u shoot and met some new friends; Zack check out his site HERE and the rest of you who I met today; " ..start your photoblogs!"
