Right now, I went to see Jude at his windsurfing race on the 31th. Apparently, the race's final day is on 1st of August. Couldn't make it.
Anyhow, here are the pictures!

NTU peeps! Woohoo! And no I can't join windsurfing for nuts :) cool sport though!
The blue dudes from Malaysia. All the best!
Sam? on the right thinking really hard.
And off they go. And so did we.
Photographic notes:
Armed with my Ultra Wide Angle 10-22 mm, I decided to cover the event exclusively in a unique perspective to sports events. Of course, I'm limited only to the pre-action on shore, if any. But that's okay - I had my friend Zhi Wei with his 200mm end to shoot any action.
The sky was so so blue, I decided to bring it out in my photos. Aside from the polarizer aiding in bringing out the blue and contrast in the sky, I also exposed for the sky , bringing my subjects up to exposure with flash (the later parts). Of course, I'm still learning on the best way. Preferbly, I would be using a big softbox for this purpose. Haven't gotten my hands on one.
We didn't stay on much longer after 2pm when the race 'started'. Uninitiated, we thought all the waiting was silly. Of course, the bigger reason was our tummies - totally famished. Note to self : keep energy bars in my StreetWalker. No energy, no shoots (we got lazy and started sitting down, we missed the NTU and NUS guys heading out).
Great day though! Had fun!
