Most people nowadays are beginning to enjoy those "photojournalistic" style of photography, where "supposedly", the photo would be those of the candid type, without the subject actually "realising" they were being photographed.But, "photojournalistic" style are not merely taking any candid photo, at times the subject are aware of it, but what matter most is the story within the photo composition, just like making a proper sentence in the English Grammar, i.e. one needs a proper "verbs" to make it complete.So now, rather than taking the typical candid photo, for the next couple of days or so, I'll just post photo of "not-so-candid-photo-yet-not-so-posed-photo"Well, who knows, in those post, YOU might be in the photos, or perhaps, someone you know.
First on the list, the participants from the Royal Customs & Excise Department, which previously a.k.a Customs & Bea Department, established in April 1906, is one of the oldest government department.
In my earlier post, I've mentioned about the number of public viewing the parade seems to be decreasing compared to the previous years.
Only a handful watched the parade along this stretch of blocks.
For the past so n so years, the national day celebrations were held at the same venue i.e. Taman SOAS, as such, the modus operandi were almost the same year thru year.Hence the challenge in photographing such event, is how to capture it differently, finding new perspective, a different view from the others, and most importantly, to make it different from the one that we ourselves took during the previous years.Some of the photos, have already been taken by the others, or yourself previously, so need to find something new.
The colourful march.I was browsing thru my past National Day Parade photos, and I know I have not taken such shot as the above.So go ahead, and challenge your own selves. :)
I wanted to post load of photos for each post, but some complaint to me that, it took some time for the site to be fully loaded.So in that case I'll just upload a minimal photo for each post.
Some veterans reminiscing their good ol' days.
