School's a busy-bee


Hi guys! Blog is NOT dead. Repeat. Blog is NOT dead!

I've always had the mind to blog, except school work is piling. Spending more time going out to look for things to photograph rather than being on my computer, especially when I am now doing a photographic elective with NIE. I hope to share this soon, except one stumbling block is the slow upload speed cause I'm staying in hall.

Anyway here's one photo over the weekend:

F1 Practice 3, Qualifiers (Saturday Night) - Ferrari, F. Massa

It was basically a night of panning shots. It's one area of photography that is touch and go for me. Sports photography need very good frames-per-second (fps), which we should be looking at the upper-pro-bodies. Mine's a 550D - fps is not that fantastic, but doable. You might want decent fps for shooting running children as well! One thing that I learnt (or relearned rather), is that being close to the fence and keeping the aperture low can throw the fence off-focus a greater extent, hence making the fence "disappear". This, is, on hindsight. I was sitting at the back rows of the padang grandstand, it is thus, very unfortunate about the fences.

Nevermind. Knowledge is power, it cannot be taken away from you.
