Well, even if you stay in Jurong, i'm sure you'll be very welcomed in this part of town! But the travelling part may just put you off! haha

Just wanted to see if there are fellow members around this area and we can organise some sort of mini-outing to explore and take lots of snaps.

photography should never be done alone as i believe that by sharing, exchanging thoughts and ideas, we learn much more and i gather itll be more FUN!

not to mention we could car-pool (for those who drive) so we can lug all our equipment! (wah like pro huh

)

SKI 360 is just outside my window.
Don't worry, there are wakeboarders there all times of the day, everyday in a week. Seriously!
If u're going on a weekend, no worries at all. As long as the place is open, there will be lots of wakeboarders. Just go according to what time you want to shoot.

hmm...hard to say but if you do wish to take close-up shots of the wakeboarders in action, then i think we'll need 200mm...cant remember how far land is though...

Have shot the wakeboarders at ski360 quite a few times.. made a couple of friends there as well.
