haha. thanks Senior Warrant gommy I wanna do some test comparison

Guys, the exact date is Sat Morning 0300-0330 (27 hours from now) @shell station for refreshment (instant noodle, beer, sandwich, whatever perks you up for the shootout later). Beer gang, please carry on. we will meet on time and move in at 0330 sharp. Hopefully breakfast in chinatown or somewhere near after the shootout. Quite long but fun, time to sweat my MP...

I have a gut feeling the ilford 3200 will be sold out at ruby by 4pm...

Meet directly at Prince Of Wales backpacker's hotel at Little India? it is at Dunlop street:
http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_29406/travel_site_18136/

About 11.30pm-12?

Am currently think about if I should head down to Thaipusam direct or join the beer gang, the smell of beer is too good to resist at times :bsmilie:

I've got a wedding dinner to attend, so if I am meeting the beer gang, mostly likely would be heading back from the Hotel wedding to my office to change up, catch some sleep in the office then head down to dunlop street.

If not I am bunking in at a mate's place then down to little india direct.

 

[neoro]

Operate 24 hrs...
after the shoot then zzz

Leica MP + Noctilux 50mm f1.0 E60 + Provia 400X

ok. everyone is welcome to celebrate. Just put your shoes in your bag. You may enter anywhere but I prefer the exterior. Whole lot of photographers will come in dawn and crowd outside snapping away the march off, but then we would have gotten all our shots..anyway, for your info, we wouldnt hang out and shoot in whole group of 15! all will break up in 1-2 and loiter around and be the stealthy shooter we all love to be. Just row call at 0300-0315 then finish ard 0630 outside the temple, by then most of the kavali bearers would have started their march to Tank road temple already.

It was dark outside the temple as everywhere there are percing going on. To be frank, I was struggling with my summilux on 800iso film (I always try not to go below the "danger zone") so if you are on 1600 and maybe push 1-2 stops, it will be comfortable. but 400 also can, if you have steady hands... but at that kind of hours....

Bro, really appreciate your advice. I guess holding on to your shoe is to get your shoe back when u need it. Beside fast lens, fast film and steady hand shooting on available light, are we allow to use flash during the Thaipusam ceremony? How close are we allowed to get to the subject? Can we get as close as 1m?
