Changi Airport Series - Departures

[Red Dawn]

Hi

I was assigned the job of photographing the arrival of the world famous and prestigious Tokyo Kosei Wind Orchestra Band in Singapore (the first time they are here, by the invitation of WASBE Singapore) and was consequently found myself at the airport about 1 1/2 hours before their arrival.

Since I've been very busy and hardly had time to shoot for my myself (meaning shoots that are not paid jobs or church related), I decided to indulge myself in a little walkaround of our beautiful airport.

The airport is a world of photographic opportunities
U can be sure that's one place i will go repeatedly from now on for more good shots.

All of which begs the question - where are all the muslims going at this time of the year?

no i never ask for permission

i never ask most of the time. but i didn't run either, even if they discovered that i was taking their photo. i just stayed on and see if more photos can be taken. if they want portraits, i'm always game

i think nobody buys D30 new anymore
a lot of bargains in the second hand market though, anywhere from 2300 to 2800.
