Yes... we'll meet at Centro even it it pours... at most we just stay in the shelter and watch fireworks from there...acidbyte said:woah.so far 22 people on the list for this evening shoot. I hope the rain stops. So just want to double confirm the meeting place is still 7pm at one Fullerton at the steps to Centro if it still pours? hmmm..all have except black card..anyone got a spare?Or can i use a black opaque fabric?
willyfoo said:Wearing bright colours tend to reflect more light and may spoil the shots of others.. especially in a big group.. for the SLR users who are not using manual mode, the reflection of the clothes may mess up the metering through the viewfinder too..
As long as the cloth/cardboard is able to cover the lens...

It's also used to control the timing of the fireworks bursts... but more suited for Film Cameras..bsplenden said:wow... i didn't know clothes matters too...
so i guess the cardboard is used to put in front of the lens for taking pics with bright objects, so that the bright objects dun get over exposed? :think:
