When is a sniper NOT a sniper? When he's discovered!
Was shooting in the interiors of the Esplanade rather secretly (saw the NO PHOTOGRAPHY signage) but still continued... security guards came along, spied me and asked that I stop taking pictures if not he would have to demand the film from me.

Let me tell you guys my story that happened many years ago.
A friend asked me to be his wedding photographer for the dinner reception. On that evening, he told me to control the number of shots, and only shoot when he asked me to. Since he was the "client" and that was his request, I tried my best to oblige.
Being quite experienced in wedding photo already back then, I tried to restrict my shots to the scenes which I think are absolutely the most important ones. My estimation was that I was taking at about 1/5 the rate that I would do normally. Even so, he seem quite worried that I will take too many shots and occassionally would turn to me and make the "cool/calm down" hand signal to ask me to slow down.
The worst part came when the couple and the family went around the tables for the yum sengs. I had to follow him around with my camera, and only take a picture when he signalled to me.
Since there are many other friends at that wedding dinner, alot of them noticed me acting like a "dummy" or "decorative" photographer who walked around the wedding banquet not taking any pictures.
I felt like such a clown.
At the end of the wedding, he asked for the film so that he can develop the photos himself. So I handed him the 3 rolls of film that I managed to expire, and he handed me a red packet as a token of appreciation. I opened the red packet when I got home, and there was S$2.00 inside. Yes, I did not make a mistake on the decimal point.
Till this day I have not seen the wedding photos I have taken that evening, nor have I kept in contact with this firend.
Thinking back after so many years, I still can't help feeing humiliated and insulted by the incident. I am sure my friend had his reasons for wanting to limit the number of photos taken during his wedding banquet, and it could have been an innocent mistake about the 2-dollar red packet. Furthermore, I have never expected payment when I take wedding photos for friends. However, the experience was just so unpleasant that I remembered it until this day.
