Hi guys! Thank you for turning up & making the RF.SG outing a success!
Thanks to Dan for laying down all the ground work as well.
I've got a suggestion by Chairman Dan, that we can actually gather all the joyous pictures of the Muslim devotees that we have taken & compile them as an album to present to the mosque as gratitude for welcoming us.
Btw, if you guys didn't know, RF.SG received a nice souvenir from the mosque today.
Could you guys email me your pictures? Please limit them to 5mb per picture, I'll gather the pictures before printing.
Please mail them to me: agnosticgary@yahoo.co.uk
I'll set the cut off date by 22nd Nov 2010, Monday.
Thank you once again!

I like to thank the people who organised this outing.... it was an eye opener regardless RF wise or culture. Like to thank Dan for bringing his RF even though I didn't get a chance to see it. I was caught up with something at the last minute... Also the 2 other really kind dudes for showing me their RFs and explained about the cameras to me.... Sorry I couldn't recall your names... Thanks again guys.

Many thanks to those who organised the outing today. Also, many thanks to all who let me play with their lenses and cameras, especially Chairman Dan and others. Yes, I'm quite poisoned now, but I need to exercise some fiscal discipline at least for the rest of this year. :bsmilie:
Here are some photos I took. All taken on the Voigtlander 35mm/f1.2 on the GF-1

Thanks Dan for putting everything together, with his wide contact, I guess there will be many more exciting outings to come....
It was great seeing inter-cultural-racial interaction going on. I was there earlier at about 8am before they started the prayer. And had a chance to witness their prayer session. Honestly, living in Singapore for close to 40 years where 1/5 of our population is muslim, it was my first time attending a muslim prayer session.
I once told a muslim ex-colleague that I wanted to visit Mecca to shoot the Haj. Unfortunately, she said it was only open to Muslim. Today is the second time I attended the korban and it's still an eye opener for me.
I once witness a similar event in Kathmandu ten years ago, where they were also sacrificing lambs to their Hindu gods. That was a real eye opener as the lambs they sacrificed ran into thousands. I still remembered my boots were soaked in blood...
Personally, I feel it is very important for us to understand the culture of our fellow friends of different races. It's only through understanding, then we can be tolerant to one another and appreciate the uniqueness of every culture.
:thumbsup: to Dan & Gary!

Great shots all around. I was at another mosque but cos I wasnt "invited" in so had to make do behind the fence. Wasn't able to get reportage style shots like this. Amazing stuff guys!

please do post your mosque shots up here as well, I am sure all of us would love to see them
