13rd Sony User Group Gathering : Clementi Bridge - Page 2

whoa, the 7 string one?

I've spec out a set of requirement for my custom gtr, waiting to win toto to build it

I will surely try my best to go for this outing.

OT a bit: I am re-mastering Images and Words right now. To give it a more heavy and raw sound. I find the original recording too 'over produced' JP's gtr sounds a little weak. Still working on it and you'll be the first to hear it once it is done.

The bona-vista/queenstown stretch has lots of old HDB housings and much reconstructions going on. Also some vacated blocks of flats too.

Portsdown road also have some nice 'ang mo' houses. The 'Cold Bar' is there.

I am viewing a 15-30mm Sigma lens tomorrow at Bona Vista. Hope this deal goes through. Then can use it for this outing

Really love to shoot with wide angles these days. Anyone got tips for shooting with ultra wide angles? like composition, lightings...etc? Pls PM me because don;t want to hi-jack this thread - otherwise the 'Dark side' will punish me

How come only so few faces coming? Need to encourage all those (especially sony users) to come and join our shooting gatherings/outings. There's no better way to learn photography than to take your camera for a walk and shoot amongst other users -- current and ex-sony users alike. All are welcome.

Agreed

Learn the way how one pose himself/herself, how to find another, how they work etc, end of the day can get more extreme shots of quality. My view after I shot with snowspeeder at Ubin about 2 weeks back.

I always look for the 'lines' leading from 'vanishing point' during composition

OT : Live in Budokan spotted in Singapore!

Does he meant that if we draw imaginary lines on the subject and it should meet at some point??

icarus · 26th February 2005

hmm.. i dun really know how to explain in words, but do take a look at this article about the vanishing point perspective

Vanishing point is basically the point where the 'lines' meet...

Here are some articles i googled on using WA lens

Somehow, Clementi Bridge reminds me of Arnhem Bridge of World War II.

Arnhem Bridge after the battle, photos taken from a German Tank.
