EXPOSE yourself - LXXXIV

Just tell them....

If go fine dining, the service is good, so pay more.

If go hawker, the service really depends, but pay less.

If eat in site canteen, the service is zero, but very cheap.

Buy from roadside, cheap cheap, but risk of rushing to toilet.

i don't dare to say, because after 4 years here, i bet people will take it literally, and then ask:

"but if you go all these places, you still get food... i pay money for xmm and she never appear... how?"

these people think of their models as things and commodities, and not real people... i still remember last time someone started a thread called "would you accept defects in models?"... machiam you pay $X and get model for 2 hours..

but if people start thread called "would you accept defects in photographers?" you bet there will be a big furore.....

4.2X magnification hor......got MPE65 easier to shoot. :bsmilie:

But at this magnification, MPE65 quality drop due to diffraction.

WK, i only went there last week for sunrise.. i drove there, but think there's bus gg in there.. hmm..mus google for bus service.. aint too sure.. its further up Yishun and near mandai..

There's a park next to the beach.. Lotsa thrash on beach area.. but tide is low and walking further down to the right of the beach will lead to u some rocks which is rather ideal for sunrise.. On the right is a jetty where its ideal for sunset..

Once u entered from the carpark and walk further to the right, u will see like this

Then walking further down, u see sth like this

another 2-3 mins walk, u will come across sth like this

And right at the extreme end (abt 10 mins stroll from the carpark), u will see those rocks

Its a nice place overall.. will definitely wan to go bk there again oneday.. maybe for sunset..

Is this kinda info u looking for?

 

[night86mare]

thanks for the info NNB...

i am thinking of just going for a recee.

will be busy this weekend with charity related shoot on sat... thinking maybe sun morn go and recee.

are these the rocks you saw?

because those are beautiful. another consideration when shooting rocks is always the tide, what is the best time, etc... sometimes nice rocks will be buried when high tide.. sometimes they are only in the water at high tide... etc

i think i had asked someone earlier, they had reflected that it involves a long walk even with car.. :dunno:
