Wide Angle Pasar | 廣角.巴剎



之前在好攝論壇里發表了之前拍的巴剎照片. Eddie ChangLit Chin 攝心大起, 就提議再到巴剎去拍, 所以我們就約好了上個星期六早上摸黑出門, 6am我就和學弟/愷娥弟, 國建到了巴剎一帶, 先去咖啡店吃個早餐, 然後再與兩位前輩集合.

大約六點半七點, 我們就開始拍攝了. Eddie 和 國建很善於跟巴剎里的小販交際, 聊天, 拍個微笑或大笑的特寫; 而我呢, 由於比較內向慢熱, 所以只好靜悄悄的拍, 加上我這次的目的是用才買不久的的廣角鏡來拍攝, 重點放在拍整個巴剎氣氛與事物.

這次的拍攝感覺很不錯, 是第一次跟 Eddie 出外拍, Lit Chin之前見過一次面, 而開始跟國建有交談, 也是因為攝影; 雖然我們素不相識, 但因為共同的興趣把我們帶到巴剎拍照, 哈哈, 就好像蔡導阿DICK哥和他一群LOMO GANG一樣, 我少許體會到那種氣氛.

對於這次的照片, 還算滿意, 雖然很多都是重複的角度但不同的店面或攤子.



Last week, I posted the photos shot last time atPasar of Batu Pahatin the forum My Photo City. Eddie Chang and Lit Chin suggested for another outing to shoot Pasar. So last Saturday we woke up early in the morning, 6am and went for the shooting. My junior, who is my classmate's brother Guo Keng also joined the shooting, we had our breakfast at a Kopitiam near pasar while waiting for Eddie and Lit Chin.

We started our shooting around seven o'clock. Eddie and Guo Keng love socializing with the hawker in the market, gossip and joke with them and took some close up shot; However, due to my "shy" characteristic, I shot silently. Anyway, my purpose of this shooting is to capture the pasar scene in my wide angle lens, which I haven't buy back in last shooting of pasar.

This is a great experience of out door shooting, though I never knew Eddie and Lit Chin, but the love for photography bring us to a common understanding, capturing the precious moment.

I'm quite satisfied with the shots, thought most of the angles are the same.

Famine 30 | 飢餓三十 2009



Famine 30 is an event, campers are self volunteered to starve for 30 hours, to experience the pain and starvation going through by people suffering in poverty all over the world, so that we are grateful for what we have and what we have to give. This event is organized by World Vision annually, anyone interested and keen to know more, please go to www.worldvision.com.my for more information.

The theme of the Famine 30 this year is about Food Crisis, known as the silent tsunami, millions of victim are suffering in this, they don't have enough food, food for basic survival. World Vision is not a charity organization that take money and give the poor, they actually plays a part of helping the poor to get out from poverty, like using the donation to help the people in poor area develop their village, teach them how to grow foods, education and so on, so that they can survive for themselves.

Just like any charity organization, advocates formed by stars is always a good way to promote the event. This year, Taiwanese singer Ah Mei was invited to perform in the countdown concert, also, Micheal Guang Liang, Danell Lee, Gary Yap and many other local artists also joined the force. Their performance really cheered up the crowd and made the whole event goes to the highest peak, especially when Ah Mei appeared in the last hour.

.....I actually think many youngsters who joined the event were interested in the countdown concert more, Ha.



飢餓三十營, 是有世界宣明會主辦的一個公益活動, 目的是讓挨餓三十個小時的營員們體會飢餓和生活的痛苦, 讓大家了解當我們浪費食物的當兒, 世界上好多角落卻有挨餓受難的人們, 同時, 也讓我們感恩現在所擁有的一切, 這樣一來, 我們更懂得為何我們得幫助他人. 有興趣者可以到www.worldvision.com.my了解更多詳情.

每一次的飢餓三十都會有一個主題, 今年的是糧食危機, 也被稱為無聲的海嘯, 這海嘯正襲捲著世界各地, 上億人沒能擁有一天所需的充足糧食. 造成這問題的原因很多, 比如資本主義, 生物能源的發展, 人類對肉類的需求大與蔬果等等, 這裡就不解釋了, 大家自己找找資料. 世界宣明會正幫助這些貧困地區的發展與建設, "與其給他們魚,不如教他們捕魚"是世界宣明會的方針, 幫助窮困的區域走出貧窮飢餓, 幫助他們如何自給自足, 農耕, 教育等等.

而飢餓三十的倒數演唱會是最高潮的, 今年還請來了阿妹張惠妹, 她在最後一個小時把全場的氣氛帶到最頂點. 當然還有很多著名的本地藝人, 有光良, 李吉漢, 葉俊成, 菲比, 羅億詩等等等, 石城鼓團也參與了義演. 無可否認, 代言/宣傳的藝人們的確是吸引近七千名青少年聚集一堂的重要因素, 然後乘機會給這些少年灌輸一些知識, 哈哈.
