luckily no throwing up, the "food" would have been wasted, since there are no fishes in the pool

OK, time to organise for the second shoot ... anymore photo sharing, please open a new thread, so that the organising for the second shoot doesnt get flooded and lost

18th September 2005
1. lanxx
2. airforce1
3. sehsuan
4. beivied
5.
6.


models will be the same, tentatively not sure with or wihout ze i.e. 4th model/make up artist.

those who find it tiring to bring your own gear, you can do sharing, i might opt for that e.g. i share with lanxx, sehsuan share with airforce1, that will be sgd7.50 each.

we should be changing model's costumes if we can, more brighter colours, especially if we have at least one more photog to join and contribute another sgd50

 

[sehsuan]

heehee, don't share barang barang until we only have two air tanks for everyone... yesterday we used up three swee-swee, right?

 

[beivied]

two photogs will share one tank. yesterday we all shot more than the intended allocation time. so naturally four photogs to three tanks instead. and only one tank was fully used up. the other two still got enough to shoot for another hour.

i think yesterday was quite a success for a start

any suggestions on logistics or questions etc etc etc, pls pm me, so that i can concentrate the thread for signing up for the second (and last!) shoot

Beivied, may be you should post the 2nd shoot at "Workshop/Studio Model shoot" to get better publicity. I may join the 2nd shoot depending on my availability after coming back from a Bali holiday :lovegrin:

I got a slight headache yesterday may be due to the repeated diving in/out of the pool quickly although it was only 4m deep. I do suggest getting some extra tanks and recommend that all the divers do a really gradual decomp at the end of the day - 2mins each at 3m, 2m, 1m to gas off the nitrogen.

 

[beivied]

more tanks is only possible if we have more participants. as of now, we are really very tight with cost. of course, i will try not to compromise on safety measures. let me work it out.

as for not posting in studio/model workshop, this shoot is exclusively do-able only by photographers with uw photography equipment. no point posting where these people dun browse that often.


post your photos in a separate thread leh ...

 

[beivied]

ok la, one tank each photographer.

 

[kthan]

why change date?:cry:

 

[beivied]

cos .. one of the model end up cannot make it on that day?

 

[sehsuan]

why change date?:cry:

probably this is due to the venue owners. i shan't comment on what i can't confirm anyway, this is my guess. by letting us use the place yesterday, was very nice of them already

 

[airforce1]

I need to swop my offday to the 18th as 10th was my off. If unable to swop then may gave it a miss. Tentative can confirm by Thursday.

Hi, Guys,

hi razor, the swimming pool is just beside the public pool, and as long as you pay your own entry, anyone can go in, so i dun think there should be any problem with that ... you can observe topside, but preferably not in the water, as we want to give the photographers and models enough space and minimize distraction

but... please come looking like a swimmer :bsmilie: i dun think NTU would like us to attract too much attention (which we already have with the swimmers there), much less a crowd fully clothed and not there for swimming

 

[beivied]

anyone want to share rental gear? so that dun have to lug gear there and back, and wash .. ... sehsuan, you sharing with airforce is it?
