A little Rock wall fun

[Stoned]

I popped down today to take a look at the place where I'll be shooting an event for my church next week with a couple of friends(the organising committee). We mostly tried out the games and did some fun climbing. I think it would be a lovely place to bring the kids as well, I had a ball of a time! I borrowed a smaller body so I could climb and shoot concurrently. It was much harder than I thought, but the lighter weight made it a lot easier. Half the time I was up there I was sweating profusely because I kept thinking of the camera smashing into the concrete below... I was so kiasu I used the camera's neckstrap plus a matin handgrip. The shots weren't that great, but I decided to share them with you guys anyway, I promise I'll produce some proper stuff next week at the actual thing. Today was mostly trying out angles and checking light. Oh I shot some images to let you guys look at the place also if you want to bring your kids there. It's at Tanjong Pagar and was featured in Urban Escapes recently. It's also AIR-CON!!!

Photos with glaring technical errors. I'd like to blame it on the camera, but my laziness to familiarise myself with the interface beforehand didn't quite let me catch up with the action. I like the moments anyway, so well, here it is. I just had to press it when the moment came, don't flame me... hurhur.

It's really cheap too! $10 for a full day pass. $5 for students. I'll probably go there more often. I hadn't realised such a place existed.

Haha.. I climbed there around 2 weeks ago and took my camera there

Very difficult place to shoot, not just cos of the lighting but its so crammed



You should see the little kids climb. They climb faster than me

Sooo dangerous!

I've bungee jumped before, walked on tight ropes but if you haven't climed in a while, you will start feeling afraid of heights

At most langah I compensate by giving him my 1d la. Anyhow next week I will be using my own due to familiarity issues. Anyway I was clipped to the wall so even if I were to fall there isn't a problem.

An extra crab + sling to your own harness' main loop would be something you could attach ANY camera to.
