Went to another gerai Ramadhan outing last friday with the BFF members... this time we went to Gadong... saw some new faces again... i'm so proud the forum's growing bigger everyday... okay, back to the outing... as usual, the place was packed with hundreds of people, young andold... not forgetting the hype stall owners/sellers... some of them even counted (1, 2, 3) before their pictures were taken...  and not forgetting the food! huge varieties to choose from, let it be eastern or western... all in all, it was a good outing & experience... had a great time (check out the group pic.. hehe), atmosphere was awesome... hope to join you guys again soon!

p/s: thanks zali for the lens... sure got me addicted & interested to buy one..

Gerai Ramadhan Outing: Part I

Group photo by airbiscuit

Went to the stadium last friday for the BFF annual gerai Ramadhan outing... & as always, the place was packed with people, large varieties of food & tons of subjects to be focused & captured... one stall that really caught my eye was selling loads of grapes... I could even see the price label from hundred meters away... it's something different, something fresh... hopefully they'll sell varieties of dates next year... even though I've had some problems with uploading, I had a great time shooting with the guys & gals... part two's coming this friday... Happy Fasting everyone.. 

Sunset outing

Group photo by airbiscuit

Went to BFF's sunset outing at Tungku Beach last Friday... The main purpose of this outing was to learn some tips on how to take landscape shots & post process it to HDR... Saw some new faces.. Didn't get any decent shots due to my late arrival but at least I got to know how to use the bracketing function (finally!) & the group shot.. hehehe...

I've got new wheels..
