Little India Photowalk [ 18-OCT-2009 ] + view blog details + |
Weekend-Sunday, Felicia had suggested us to have a morning photo walk on the streets of Little India in conjunction to the Deepavali festival. We gathered at the Kapitan Keling mosque and went for a little de-tour in pursue of breakfast Koay Teow T'ng was the choice suggested by Felicia and so, we filled our growling stomachs before starting the walk. With our stomachs filled we were fueled and ready to go for a little walk.
As we walk along the streets of Little India, we were a little bored as there weren't much to shoot. During the morning, Indians will have the culture to wash the floors in front of their shops. Practically most of them were just doing that. We walked around taking our casual snaps here and there on subjectsthat we thought might be interesting 

But after sometime, we were more likely to be walking along the streets rather than shooting our way through. It was then, that we started to ask our sporting friends; Ishtar and Felicia; to be our portrait models Here are some of the pictures taken. Well, trust me that it's not easy to get casual and natural shots of portraits.... luckily with the cooperative models, our snaps were not that bad. Thanks ladies 


While shooting our portraits, we caught a cute little kitten on sight It looks very lonely and timid. Since it was mingling around where we stood, I had seized the opportunity to snap an up-close shot of the cat while my camera was mounted to my 90mm prime.

We walked one big round to cover the little lanes around Little India area and made our way back to where we had parked the car. On the way back, the skies were starting to get cloudy and it was then that I spotted the contrasting skies just right above the Kapitan Keling mosque Part of sky was cloudy while the other side remains clear. It's some sort of a Yin-Yang kinda thingy ... hahaha... it looks pretty cool actually. With the weather the way it is recently, I believe you are able to spot and shoot this type of 'contrasting skies' easily. |
