Sunrise Esplanade Morning Shoot #2

Not open for further replies.
But the last one in March was nearly this many people! When we had breakfast at McDonald's at Marina Square, took up nearly 1/2 their seating space available! Imagine me hobbling from table to table to make sure everyone had a good time with their shoot ...

There were some who popped up without reporting in ... so by the time we had our group photo, nearly 3/4 left ...

I cower at the presence of greatness .... Me only sub-amateur, you professional ... we shall all pay attention and hang on to your every word of advice, sir!

*knees shake*
 

Usually for sunrise outing, the success rate is about 50% ;)

Hmm :embrass: i think all who put their names down, should be encouraged to try to make it rain or shine (unless organizer puts down early on that if rain, no go). Otherwise it becomes a culture, put name down first, go or no go never mind.
 

All so young ... old man here will feel out of place :embrass:

Well I see that the culture is slowly changing.
Putting their name down and not turning up is something I don't condone, but just that I've sorta become resigned to.
 

Yeah, and since it's way early morning, even before McDonald's start serving breakfast, I bet most will find it hard to make it on time ...

To the main business matter:

Hi all,

To all going for this Saturday morning shoot, some reminders:

1. Charge your batteries, cos if you are going to do long exposure, you will drain battery and with live view, will be even faster.

2. Pack light snack/fruit and drink for yourself in case you get hunger pangs.

3. Make sure you have a small torchlight with you, not search lights cos we don't need to flood the area with too much light.

4. Set your alarm clock.

5. Plan you route, even if you are not driving.

6. In the case of those not driving, maybe you can try consider sharing a cab to save midnight charges. May not be possible, but you can come on time so we can have a get-to-know-each-other session before we start. Don't want to start shooting without knowing your neighbor. For me, Esplanade is only 10 minutes from home by cab. For those taking MRT, the underpass from CityLink opens at 5.45am, based on information I got from participants from last outing. (Backed by photograph from an earlier post)

Will confirm if the outing is a GO or NO GO tomorrow, to get a more accurate picture of the weather. So, for those who have not PM me your contact number, please do so, so I can also send a final confirmation at 5.00am for all.

Thank you! Cheers :)
 

If anyone stays around Newton area, or wants a lift from Newton/Orchard/Somerset MRT to the shoot, can PM me. I can take 3.

Hi All,

For those driving, the question of where to park arises.

As I am not sure what the program will be like after breakfast, I am unable where is the best place to park, as some have requested they want to park at location nearest to location of last shoot.

In the past few shoots, we had ended after breakfast at McDonald's Marina Square. So that might be the location you wish to consider. Else, to get to Esplanade in time, maybe park at Esplanade? You can either park indoor or outdoor. Indoor is the normal place, but outdoor, is just before the Glutton Bay. Easier to access, but since weather can be unpredictable, indoor is still the best.

HTH.

Cheers :)
