interesting shot. i like the ones in front with the light shining on them. very pretty. the balls look to be so uniformly made, very round, very white, very professional indeed. what are they for? snow fights?

Hi Pop, I took many shots of the snowballs and this was my favourite cos of the "spotlight" on the front ones. Yeah these were used in snowball fighting (yuki gassen) and I meant the sport, not just a regular day one(ok, not so regular in Singapore). As in all sports, there has to be regulations. See the blue gadget in the background? That's used to make the snowballs, hence they are all standard size. Each team has 15 mins to make as many snowballs as they can to be used in the game. Each game is a maximum of 9mins, 3sets of 3mins played by 4 forwards and 3 backs. Once you are hit by a snowball, u r out of the game(your number will be called out by hawk-eyed referees). The ultimate goal is to capture the opponent team's flag on the other court, if not the team with the most number of players standing at the end of 3min wins. It's very fast paced and exciting as u can imagine having to hit n dodge at the same time on a 40x10m court.

Yo Eikin, if I'm not wrong you are heading to a Japan uni? Congrats! I'm sure you'll enjoy taking pics in Japan with your macro lens! I'm impressed with the kind of critters u managed to "capture" in sg.
Maybe from my pictures you'll be able to guess where I'm located, or where I'm not located.
