在这一次的拍摄，我领悟了- 镜头下是没有陌生的距离。

在 Tg Sepat 有一个这样的庆典，从晚上潮州大戏直到天亮的游行。
这三年一次的诞对 Tg Sepat 居民是蛮重视的日子，在游行中大部分家家户户都摆着供品，
希望神明可以选中他们给予施法。也有很多一家大小跪着街边祈求神明祝福。

这庆典给我感觉有点像印度人的大宝盛节，，不同的是有许多庙旗在飘扬，
每个神庙的团队以不同的颜色制服游行，色彩斑斓令整条街都充满生气。
而我也是第一拍摄被命令要下跪，但也体验另一番拍摄过程~
五月的海边真的很热!

Yashica GTN + Wide Angle Aux |fujifilm 400

There have some lessons would happen when using on a rangefinder camera;
Forget to take off lens cap, losses film, forget turning the right ASA, accidentally open the film case…
I had meet all the above cases cause the photos failure, feeling so nuts!

And this time i forget to set my camera back from the bulb mode, when i realized it already taken half roll of film. And of-cause the first part pictures all blur. T.T

Here is some of my favorite film shots

Boat crossing by the Sepetang’s mangrove forest.

Some view when walking way up to the Maxwell’s hill Cafe.

(Shell Refinery at Lukut, first time been to this place, also the first time using film camera in bulb mode, 20 seconds exposure + shutter release cable and tripod)

Some of the film photos snapped during cny, and this time i am trying to scan the negative films myself by the company new Canonscan 4400F scanner. (perhaps future i can save a lot for the scanning fees :P)

The scanning process is quite easy to use. But require to have some of the practice to align well the negative films into the scanner. My scan setting is in 1200DPI, it takes a round 1 minute to proceed 1 picture.
Overall the outcome my for me just regular quality (but the good thing is now i can scan in very high DPI compare with photo shop standard.

(Trying the external flash on the yashica GTN camera, manually hand held bounce flash instead of direct flash to object, seems works to me)

It was really my first time carrying the camera snap shoot around KL, we get into the Pudu wet market and do some features shoot also communicated with the peoples around.

The surprising things was most of the people are just friendly to us. They told us their story, the stuffs they selling, but of course also have some not allow us to take picture and complain, It is really a live practice on a photographer applying this mindset : ‘Ask for forgiveness, Don’t ask for permission’ (shoot first, sorry later!), or use a direct communication if possible, yet the photographer can really get into the environment and can get the shoot they want.

It was real pleasant day to fill up my free time with the gang, and hope this kind of outing can have more!
