BornFire

Bornfire is a street fire performance. The performing artists danced and performed tricks with fire. Upon arrival, I was shocked that the mini outdoor theater was exclusively filled with photographers rather than genuine audience! It was as if it was a photo shot organised by a camera club.

I used a 135mm L lens to shoot throughout the event:

Shortlisted for SEA Games Photo Shoot

Received a call from Straits Times / Canon that I was shortlisted to join the Straits Times team to shoot the SEA Games in Laos during December. This was a happy and sad news. I was happy that my 2 shots had won the favour of the judging team to win myself a Canon EOS 50D with 18-200mm lens, as well as a free trip to Laos to shoot the SEA games. I was sad as this will disrupt my vacation plan with my family.

Should I forgo my prize and once in a life opportunity to shoot with the press or to spend time with my family? Or arrange to have a family vacation in Laos?







I shot both pics during the Great Eastern Women 10k run last Sunday with the Olympus E-P1 with Lumix 7-14mm and 14-45mm lenses.


Another sad news was that my entries in the Vivocity Photo Contest didn't win me any prize.
