Stonehedge Outdoor Shooting | 石城鼓团外拍

为了宣传鼓团,我们特地拉队到峇株巴辖的minyak beku海边拍照。拍照的当儿,不少人都投以好奇的眼光,但是基于团员们都有不错的演出经验了,那些眼光可没把他们弄得尴尬至不敢摆姿势。一些友族同胞还问我们是否会在那里来一场表演,但是由于这是公众场合,也没经过什么特别批准,在安全的考虑下,我们连一点鼓声都没制造。废话不多说了,来欣赏我们的照片吧~!

这里多谢大家的配合,才能成功完成这次的外拍。

For A&P purpose, our team specially traveled to the minyak beku seaside to take some photos. While we were doing shooting there, people around were quite curious about us, however, their curiosity didn't make your teammates feel awkward to present poses for shooting, as they've already very experienced in performing for all these years. Some Malays even asked if we were going to have a performance there, well, due to the seaside is a public area, without certain permission, we didn't even make any sounds from the drum. Okay, let's stop here and see the pictures we've taken.

Thanks to everyone's to make this out door shooting possibly carried out.























开心收工~! | Let's call it a day~!

penang streets | 槟城的街道

续上篇,去了姓周桥过后,我们去了槟城最老的庙,没错的话应该是观音庙,她看上去就是古色古香,有一股岁月的痕迹。庙外面有许多大大小小的店铺或摊子,贩卖烧香拜佛的材料。站在庙前拍照,有一堆刺眼呛鼻的烟,还有纷飞的.....鸽子。由于本身,内心深处,是个没宗教信仰的人,所以也没烧香,就在四周拍起照片来。

After the chew's bridge, we went to the historical guanyin temple in penang, according to dick, the temple has been around for 500 years. She looks really old but of course you can see that maintenance has been carried out since. Along the street by the temples there are lots of shops and stalls selling josstick and other material for praying. Taking photos in front of the temple, there was smokes and pigeons flying around. Well, I am a free thinker and have no religious mind so far, so i didn't any prayer, just taking photos.

别怀疑,这就是忘了把镜头盖拔下拍出来的 | Haha, I forgot to remove my lens cover

这是我不得不批评的东西,放生~!如果没有放生的动作,就没有需求,没有需求,就不会有商家去捕捉小鸟给人们放生,没有捕捉就等于是放生了。可别以为买了那些小鸟,他买完了那些小鸟,那些小鸟就自由了,搞不好它们还被抓回来卖,又或者没法适应自然的生活。所以阿,希望大家别鼓舞类似的放生行为,我们只要爱护动物,爱护自然,买个1公升的鲜奶用手拿就好了,别要求塑料袋,这些就是在做好事了,不必刻意花钱去放生。只要这样的行为不被鼓舞,没有放生的需求,商家就不会去伤害动物了。 | This is something that i need to critic on, in chinese's religion, let go of the captive are called fang sheng, it is an act of kindness. However, in the current society, this is meaningless. Look at the picture, birds are captured to be sold to people to free them, people who bought the birds actually created a demand for the people who see it as a lucrative chance to capture birds to sell. Let's say, if we don't encourage this action, there will be no animals would be harmed or being captured to be sold, it is also a way of kindness. Treat the environment good, love the nature, save more plastic are all doing good for the earth and doing kindness, so, please, think twice or more if you want to buy some birds to release, you think the hunters wouldn't catch more to restock to sell?

过后我们就在四周溜达,看看其他的建筑,这是在印度街附近拍到的一群鸽子 | we hang around the temples, walking down the streets seeking for more buildings to shoot, this is a corner by the indian street

Peneng through fisheye | 鱼眼看槟城

刚吃饱饭,就坐回电脑前面,这样子不肥才怪,但肥也要肥到值得,所以继续分享槟城之旅。 同事婚礼的第二天,我们一行人到槟城走走了,才会吉隆坡。一大早七点多,我和开文先起床了,于是跑去沙滩拍风景。过后,我们这一房的自己去外面找吃,哈哈,驾着车经过了一家看起来不错的咖啡店,就在那里吃了不是很满意的早餐。而另外两对情侣,老板和老板娘,还有迪克与阿香(不是牛仔),则睡迟而暂时跟我们分道扬镳。

Just had my dinner and i got my butt back on the lovely chair, it's unlikely i won't get fat. So to make my fatness more worthy, here i continue sharing you guys the penang trip. The following day of the wedding dinner, we traveled around penang before heading back to pj. Early in the seven, me and hoimun woke up, went to the beach and took some scenery photos. After that, everyone in our room were awake, so we decided to go out and hunt for breakfast. We just happened to pass by a restaurant by the roadside, IT looked not bad so we had our out-of-expectation breakfast there. On the other hand, the two couples in the lover room woke up late, so we traveled seperately.

永浩:先生,我看你印堂发黑必有凶兆~......结果从槟城回来后,进良病了三天。 Yong Hao : Mr, your face doesn't look good to me....hmmm...


过后我们到姓周桥和老板他们会合,姓周桥呢,其实是一个jetty,住在这jetty两旁的人家都是姓周的,这就是它名字的由来。那里也有姓林桥和姓陈桥,但听说都住户都搬了所剩无几。这里的木屋都是用是很好的木板为建筑材料,质感很好,搭在海上的柱子则是洋灰和木条,作为屋子的支撑。这条桥很窄,两旁的屋子相对只隔大约两米,屋顶都快碰到屋顶了。

After the breakfast we went back hotel to check up and went to meet boss and dick couples. We met at the Chew's Bridge, it is actually a jetty, and by the jetty live a group of chinese by the first name of CHEW, that's why it is called the chew's bridge. The houses above the seas were built in wood and cement, though they looks tough and steady. The paths in between houses are very narrow, more or less around 2 meters, and the roofs of the two side were almost touching each other.

周桥前有座庙,庙前有两只石狮子,这是其中一只 | a stone lion in front of the temple in front of the chew's bridge
