I can't stay all the way till 4, I have to cabut by 3:30pm latest. See you guys!

Hmm... maybe have to activate the stealth mode to hide the photographer

how ?

hehe. our 1st time la valho. yup....i think it would be so tired on that day (oso thirsty ). no need extravaganza lenses...or ppl look weird at u. be simple..like tourist. hehe. if snap ppl pic..and he look at you...try smile. be in group. err...its just my 2 cents

btw..u al can try read this .. one of streeshooter life experience... iat least to get some input : Street Life 2007 V 0.2

one example :
A man walks pass a golden citizen's satay stall and the golden sunray as he enters the maze of Chow Kit bazaar, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

here's some tips in bahasa from experienced shooters. hope its help :

Tips yg saya boleh share:

1) Perlu kita ingat - di mana bumi dipijak, di situ langit dijunjung
- Apabila kita berada di sesuatu kawasan untuk shoot, kita perlu peka dan perhati keadaan sekeliling, apa sensitiviti masyarakat setempat, apa yg mereka curigakan, apa yg mereka alu-alukan. JANGAN SEKALI KALI KELIHATAN SEPERTI KITA MENUNJUK LAGAK! Bahaya wo. It is better to consciously be HUMBLE than unconsciously create unnecessary trouble! Maksud saya mudah sahaja - come in either unnoticed or accepted by the community. Rasanya saya sempat menegur beberapa geng outing nit pada hari tersebut - "Senyum kasi lebih sikit!!!"....and maybe next time outing dah tahu dah, tak perlu bawak satu almari lensa....ingat, we are doing street shoot not studio shoot!

2) Plan your outing - personal/group
- Saya dok terkial2 dgn buku ketot saya hari tu....that is my sketch book. Saya belajar drpd beberapa pro & kawan2 tentang shooting plan & develop cara sendiri untuk saya ikut. Kenapa? Sebab saya tidak ada byk masa untuk develop diri saya & masa untuk keluar shoot adalah terhad, maka setiap outing yg saya lakukan mestilah berhasil & setiap hasil mestilah lebih baik drpd hasil yg sebelumnya....tiada alasan. Antara perkara penting yg perlu kita fikirkan sebelum kita keluar shooting:
- apa thema kita
- apa subject yg berhubung-kait dgn thema tersebut
- apa expression, emotion, body language yg akan membantu memperkuatkan lagi subject tersebut
- apa dia background/ stage yg akan memberi impact terbaik cerita yg kita cuba sampaikan
- kenali/ fahami kawasan yg kita akan pergi
- tgk keadaan cahaya
- tgk keadaan/ respons masyarakat sebelum kita melakukan sesuatu
.....search la kat forum ni, ada tips saya dah diberikan tentang street shooting

..dan bergantung kepada thema, kalau ianya berkaitan dgn berita/ rencana, adakah cerita itu berbaloi untuk kita ketengahkan? Adakah ianya sesuatu yg ada harga (value)? Atau adakah ianya sesuatu yg biasaa & tangkap muat ajer?



...itu ajer yg saya dapat celotehkan malam ni (pagi dah siut!)

by the way guys, please avoid driving straight to Chow Kit. You could take monorial from KL Central or other LRT interchange.

Hmm.. I am still thinking what lenses to bring if I go...

Maybe no need camera bag if only carry 2 lenses...

Do you think 50mm and 85mm primes enought ar?

that should be enough, dun think you really need a 85mm though, unless u plan to snipe some protrait. just bring ur 17-55 IS can already or 50mm if you wanna go prime.

well, it boils down to what you wish to snap actually. For street candids I guess both lenses will do just fine

maybe you need to bring along your 1200mm?

I let the 1200mm to my alien friend, who need it in some galaxy war in distance far far away...

They told me they need the lense to stealth thier ship

I hope you bought insurance for that. Because one quantum torpedo is going to kill that cloaking device. Captain Janeway rules the space, you know...

No local insurance company willing to insure some alien tech...

By the way, are you interested to go for this outing?

I guess 17-55mm f2.8 IS + 85mm will do.

i feel like going. but will bring only 10-20.

ok... the very default setup again... both combo cover more than 90% of my shots...

it is why I always advise FF 5D users to buy 2 lenses settled, 24-105L + 135L

smart move.

goldfries, I think I'll be using my 12-24 as well

wow siggy ... pls poison me

I wonder if any of u is from Cheras area (leisure mall) or sg long?
