Photography after work

Recently one of colleague, Joe, bought a Canon EOS 50D camera and he was anxious to try it out so he asked if I could go out with him to take some photos after work. I agreed and invited another colleague, Eugene, to go along. Eugene has been using the EOS 50D for quite awhile now and he is very familiar with the camera's operation and settings. I reckon Eugene will be able to share his experience with Joe.

The following day, all three of us brought our camera to work and headed out for the photo-taking session after work. This year, our National Day Parade (NDP) will be held on the Padang and I wanted to take some pictures of the NDP setup. Eugene said he has not been to the Helix Bridge and he would like to take some pictures there. With the two locations on mind, we walked from our One George Street office along South Bridge Road to the Padang then crossed the Esplanade Bridge's underpass to Marina Bay. Finally from Marina Bay we walked to the Helix Bridge.

We were pretty fortunate to choose the right day for a photo-shoot. The cloud formations were very dramatic and it helps to create a more interesting outlook to the otherwise familiar landscape! When we reached the Helix Bridge, Eugene was quite disappointed because the bridge was closed for our Youth Olympic Games (YOG) rehearsal.

Despite the Helix Bridge closure and feeling quite tired after the long walk, we were all very happy with the photo session. I managed to take photos of the NDP setup. Eugene took some wonderful sunset photos and Joe managed pick-up a few photo tips from both of us and he also to take some good photos too!
