Fifth IR Outing @ Fort Canning

Time flies and I have already gone for 5 IR outings already. The IR outing usually take places every fornightly and I will always try to particpate because not only that I can learn more about IR Photography, I can also pick up some Photoshop skills from those experts. On top of that, by attending these outings, I can learn more from other photographers so that I can improve my photography skills and also can discuss and share some of the knowledge that I have, this is what photography is about, share knowledge and learning from one another.

Most of all, the thing that makes me look forward to these outings is the people, I find that the regular photographers in IR group are very friendly and nice. We usually set up our equipment and do our IR shots. In the process, we usually just talk with one another. We can talk about IR Photography to Photoshop tools to Nikon Equipment, joke here and there and of course some chit-chatting session. I guess that really makes me forget about those troubles and unhappy issues at work.

OK, usual practise, here is the list of people who managed to join us for this fifth IR Outing.

1. photoexpress - Bobby, our organiser, thanks for taking the time to do the organisation and coordination, really appreciated that.

4. PandaOng - Jonathan (He is late for the outing, but I am glad that he can make it)
5. archlover - Wellington (Hope that I got that right. First time joining us, I think he is an Indonesian, he is using a Canon IR Modified camera, nice to meet you)
6. Ark19 - Ark (This is his second outing since the start of the year. Ark is a regular in the IR Group, but he was quite busy since the start of the year so he missed the last 3 outings before the Dempsey Road one, nice guy)
7. billitone - Never turn up
8. karfee - Jia Fei (He and I are becoming regulars in the IR Group already. I recalled that his first outing was at Sentosa which is same as me)

wif my buddy tkp77 - Francis (Never turn up)
10. thl - Tan (He is also becoming a regular in the IR Group too, pick up IR Photography around the end of last year, missed the Sentosa outing as he is late, but now he has been actively turning up for the outings)
11. hweechwee - Poh (Thanks for the ride again. This is Poh's 4th outing, I recalled that I invited her for the 2nd outing and now she too is becoming a regular too)
12. Dennis - Dennis (Nice Guy with all the newest gadget, he got a D200, a 105 VR and 18-200 VR lens. Really a up-to-date photographer with the latest gear)
13. Quekky - Quekky (Haven't seen him since the first outing at Sentosa, glad that he can make it)
14. eawtan - Edmund (Outing seems to be more fun with him. He bring his 300 f2.8 today for some early birds shoot and he shows us the "catch" which is really very nice. At first, I was shock to see his 300 f2.8 lens because it really looks like a mini mortar, he told me that it weighs about 3kg, OMG, that can really weighs me down. Anyway, glad to see that he can make it for this outing)

Today outing was quite fun, we meet at Funan Mac at around 9:30am and break off for lunch at around 12:30pm at Funan Food Court.

After lunch, I walk down to Clifford Pier again to do some shooting as I already got my gear with me. This is the third time I went down to Clifford Pier to shoot as it just seems that, no amount of shooting can really capture the beauty of this old yet majestic landmark.

Anyway, here is some IR pictures from today's outing and I am still processing some of the photos taken at Clifford Pier today which capture the aftermath of moving to the new pier at Marina South. So keep a lookout for the Clifford Pier series. Thanks for reading. Cheerz.
