President Obama arrives

[skyline1088]

Haha... well said. Perhaps he wanted bokehs behind the Cadillac ;p TS probably didn't boost ISO high enough to catch the car, but it was still great to catch a glimpse of the car.

yes zzmaimai, kindly enlighten the rest of the community on the fine line between good and poor photography :bsmilie:

hahaha... didn't boost ISO...

His ISO was already at 6400 :sweat:

OK la... D700... can boost to 12800 for reasonable clarity. My AF1 picture had to go to 25,600... that's worse... :cry:

Very poor photography.

Poor photography better than no photograph :thumbsup:

 

[ChenGuy]

Zzmaimai care to share ur good/great/professional photography? Whatever u call it.

 

[gunzilla]

who knows, probably the secret service used Google Maps to plan everything ahead...

you never knew they where actually here in singapore way ahead of the event practicing and training maneuvers here in the singapore streets. they have state of the art equipment so why bother about google maps? hahaha

Hey Allan,

Good job.I think i saw you standing and waiting patiently yesterday evening @ the traffic light along paya lebra rd. I happen to stop the car when the traffic light turns red.
You caught my attention because you were the only photography standing @ the traffic light with a TP beside you. You were armed with a Nikon Camera and a super long lense. Well done...!!!

Haha
Ya that was me, the TP caught an indian guy dashing across the junction with the lights
turned green.. huffing and puffing right into the arms of the TP.. He could NOT understand
a word of english but he was given a Ticket for trying to kill himself.

Anyway in case you are wondering, I DID CONTEMPLATE using a FLASH on the
president's car.. hoping for an Obama shadow, but I decided against it because it could be mistaken
as an act of aggression..

naah I dont really think so
flash on cameras are pretty much expected and anticipated in these events and they already have encountered thousands of it already
but sometimes u cant be to careful also. imagine those unsmiling secret service swarming in with their assortment of arsenals around u.

but I guess a camera flash wont be much for them for suspicion for alarm.
but if u were the traditional paparazzi u wud have taken that chance. hahah
