actually, i was planning on taking bus 97 or 131 there... too lazy to hike there... :bsmilie:
Okie.
any1 can suggest any intercept points where there will be more action taking place? or are you all going to follow the entire procession from serangoon till the end point?
if i remember the news report i saw on tv correctly, there's supposed to be these photog stations where people can take pixs. we could go there and hunt them down, or just anchor ourselves at a good location and set up shop...
don't think following the procession is a good idea, as i think we want as much variety as possible, and the procession is a coupla hours long. if we get bored, we could always uproot ourselves and re-location to new position...
For street photography, I dun think there is a best view place, and the best place for someone may not work for the others. Follow your basic instinct and spot your own photo opportunities! Try to define your own photography, be it journalism, traditional street type, or candid portraiture. One more suggestion, even u shoot with some other photographers, dun all squeeze at the same spot. Keep moving around and be alert. My best shots were always taken when I shot alone.
or do u know the route the procession will take? i probably can only arrive at past 1 pm on Saturday and don't know what is left of anything at that time.
Need confirmation on how long will teh whole procession will be because accordin gto my colleague, he said it goes on till nightfall and kavadis at night are lighted..anyone can throw some light on this?

Starts from tonight around 11pm and goes on all the way to tommorrow night. Kavadis only start leaving from around 11am tommorrow morning i think. They try to clear all the faster moving people first (e.g. those carrying milk pots, etc.) Not too sure about the lighted kavadis. There's usually a traffic jam of people towards the end point cos they have to line up to get into the temple.
ok people, a bit of changes and updates. i got a last minute seminar to attend tomorrow morning so i won't be the contact point for the meet... instead, please contact Simone (aka "Dagger") on her mobile @ 9838 5414 if you wanna meet up, gonna be late or for anything else. if you can't get her, can also call me @ 9848 4122 (not that i'll know how to reach her if you can't but i might know who else to call...)
The meeting place has also changed to BUGIS MRT STATION, outside the OCBC bank branch near the MRT telephone, as nekogotch says its nearer/easier to go serangoon road from there.
So, to recap, the Thaipusam outing is at...
10am morning @ BUGIS MRT Station on 18th January (Saturday)
