RF.SG Official Monthy Shoot - Night Life.....

[Royale With Cheese]

Hi guys

I think its almost akan datang for RF.SG's monthy official shoot out. I've had a discussion with Redshutter & hookonclassic has expressed interest as well. Our BP boy is busy so I'll just start this thread to receive your feedback & discussion.

This time it would be a late night shoot, taking place on the night of 25th Sept 2010 till morning of 26th Sept 2010.
Our proposed route would be:


Meeting place: Golden Wall Centre coffeeshop, Map:
http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia...=103.85162702173534&y=1.3040171515667236&l=13
Time: 2100hours.
Shoot location: Little India from 2130h-2300h
Supper makan: Supper Makan - 2300h-0030h
Part 2 of night shoot - Either Jurong Fishery Port Or Senoko Fishery Port - 0100h-0300h
Breakfast somewhere - 0300h-0400h or head home because we smell like fish, the smell of the slime sticks to your clothes!


Shooting in Little India, I'm sure you guys would all be familiar with. Mostly we've been there on un-official RF.SG shoots for the day, I think the late night life there would be a nice change for members & of course away from the blazing Singapore sun.

After the shoot, we can have supper around little india area & a short break.

For part 2 of the night shoot, I'm currently awaiting feedback from a few people that shot at either Jurong Fishery Port Or Senoko Fishery Port. I've heard that its rather camera unfriendly...... :think:

I would suggest breaking into groups of 3 or 2 to explore around if the group is big. Please refrain from obstructing the stall owners from their work, would'nt want to be seeing fishes & choppers flying at our members.
Also, the fishery ports are not your usual wet markets. There is fish slime etc. on the floor, its gonna be wet & slippery.

I suggest for those who drive, load bottles of mineral water to wash down your shoes/slippers after the shoot & plastic bags to tie them out later. Bring a 2nd pair of footware as well. For the rest of the guys, we can share a cab in & out of that place.

For the Little India, the more the merrier. Fishery ports, I would suggest keeping the group to the minimal, need a subtle approach, don't wanna overwhelm the fishery port.

Here is some read ups I managed to google on:

Make sure you don't go to little India on a Sunday night, the only valid reason to shoot on a sunday night is because you just love crowds. Saturday is still managable.

Senoko Fisher Port is a nice place to shoot, but you have to be very discrete.

Photography is usually not permitted at the premise unless with written permission from the authorities. As the place is under AVA, I got escorted out of the place once by the authorities when they saw me taking pictures a few years ago.

My suggestion is best to be discrete. Bring light gears. Bring fast lens and keep your cameras in your bag if you are not shooting. Don't hang around your neck.

And bring along a basket to buy some fish for your mum or maid to cook for lunch so that when being stopped, you can tell them you are genuinely buying fish. :bsmilie:

hahaha! Chiif being escorted, that would be a sight!

Anyway, I've received some feedback from people who shot previously at Jurong & Senoko Fishery. Camera unfriendly but still shoot-able.

I'll suggest to those who are interested, we would shoot in pairs or individual to avoid too much overwhelming approach as a group.

We will enter in pairs, cameras kept in bag till we are inside the fishery port.

Yep, actually I did contact AVA via email earlier on, awaiting their response. Keep fingers crossed.

I won't be able to join, you guys have fun. I am off to France in 3 days!

Smells fishy...

(apologies, could not resist joke!)

Faced the exact same issue previous when I entered with my friends. Jurong Fishery porter is more anal. Upon seeing cameras they usually wont allow you to enter without authorized papers. My friends and I got turned down at 2am, so we headed to senoko porter. Its alot better, security less tight but you have to be aware of some of the fellas there. Afew of my friends were scolded for taking pictures, but I just heck. Shoot first talk later! Main thing is still be discreet and most importantly, be aware and dont block the way! They move really fast with big boxes! HTHs!

U guys have fun.. Cant make it for this.

I see.

I'm still awaiting AVA to reply to me on that part. Hopefully should be fine.

Kena scolding for me, ok la, quite thick skin I'll suggest for the fishery port, the group should be less than 10?

We will enter in pairs with some intervals, dont wanna give outselves away.

Here's a video of the fishery market full of action. Guess the approach for me if i am going is to buy some fish first and start shooting later, Phua Chu Kang boots is a must
