* Photography
Ai ~ai~ ai ~! Yor~yor~yor ~! What am I talking about? Wahaha… too much French-Liquor Coffee? A pint Mug!
Don’t worry, I am okay, have not gone mad yet… wahaha (Opss).
Okay where should I start neh? From the last dairy, I had written about my 1st outing with PM (Photo Malaysia) to Muka Head, Pulau Penang on 22 Oct 2005. And this dairy is about the continued thingy. Stupid, why I have to mention the obvious thing here?!
That night, my father brought out his treasures and showed to me. My eyes just wide open! (Even I am very sleepy and tire after an extreme day). This is the 1st time I acknowledge that he has this camera- Canon AE-1P. I known he has SLR camera but did not knowledge that he has cameras, an aged old toy. Indeed, this is a very old camera. I have to install and wind the film manually, after finished shot this camera have to rewind the film back to the film cassette manually. No auto focus or what-so-ever. Aperture Level, Shutter speed, film ASA (ISO), focus, winding film, and etc, all hand manual. OMG ~! Where is the LCD?!! There is none… (*_*) ‘Ha-ha~ AE-1P, the ‘P’ stands for programme, yes it still has a brain that can auto adjust some setting (Aperture and Shutter Speed). But it has no LCD to tells you what the adjustment being made for the coming shooting, you have no idea the camera giving u (f/1.8 or f/22) or (1/1000s or 2”s) and release the shutter blindly. This camera can shot with Auto, Manual, Aperture Priority, and Time Priority. Still, I prefer to use Av and Tv mode of course some time Full-Manual.
I first owned camera is Canon Pixma (P&S film compact), then Kodak DX6340 (digital compact), and then Canon 300D (mid-level Digital-SLR), then Canon IXUS-700 (digital compact). And now? Come back to Canon AE-1P (an old 35mm film Manual SLR). What on earth? A human being usually will uses from old technology film camera and move to advance digital camera. Me? Opposite? What?!?!
Anyway, I noticed this camera still in brand new condition after I gave it a deep cleaning. The lenses in top-top condition same as the camera. But this camera is useless rubbish if it has no battery to power up, you can’t even wind a film! So I brought my camera to a shop near my house to ask for battery. First shop, the boss told me they have not sale that kind of battery (4LR44) for long ago. And rarely have people using this camera anymore because of the camera and the typical battery has stopped producing. I was bit upset, have this treasure on my hand but cannot use it. Next day I went to another shop, the shopkeeper is my old friend but we have not met almost 10 years! Have some chat and I told him my objectives of coming. The time I show the camera to him, he shouted- “WOW~ Are you professional photographer now, huh?” because he never see this camera before even he family is in Photography Business. He even asked me is that the camera new buy. I told him this camera was my father’s and it is around 30 years old. He hardly believes me by seeing the clean (dustless) and top condition (spotless) camera in front his eyes. After checking, they do not have this battery, not even their other chain shops. By checking the display cupboard, I have the idea to do DIY battery, so I bought them (batteries) and of course a roll of film. As soon I backed to home, some works done and I installed my DIY batteries. “Click” the camera straight away came back to life! My heart bit faster and my hands start shaking by excitement. Same as the situation I listening to PRO-DSLR sexy shutter sound. I quickly turned the winding panel and pressed down the shutter. “Kak-cak!” a fast, light, and crisp sound from the shutter release. I am more excite… then I tried it with 1/1000s shutter speed, “kak-cak”. WOW ~! I am more more more and more excited! The shutter window not plastic made but by black garment. The sound just different! I have the film loaded after some crazy plays but I did not do the shot and I waited until the next day. The whole night just too excited… hardly get into sleep!
Next day, I told my father about the DIY batteries. And after, I went out to the front area of my house. I have done some close up shots with my mother’s beautiful plants. Wah~ the first shot killing me. I am still new to this camera, so I have started with Auto Mode first. I don’t have to worry anything but just concentrate on focus, but the focus is a hardest part. I spent almost 20 minutes just to get it right in compose and focus (still not sure will it be sharp focused). Soon I done my very first shot, I felt the back pain! Issh~ that is real. I never feel so hard before even the time I doing my fashion photography shooting (have to bend low, stretching body, hard position, and etc). Have 5 minutes break before I have my second shot. Same again, long period by bending my back and holding the camera just to get the right focus and compose. And third shot, I used Av mode. Then I have enough and called a day. Only 3 shots and I have spent one hour of time!!! If I with digital auto focus, within one hour of fashion shooting I can easily achieve 100 proper shots. This? Huh ~!
Next day, I challenged the camera. I used different lens and different shooting mode. Even so, I have only done 3 shots. Too hard, but fun! My father also has tried to use it, but only done one shot. Today, I went out at 7PM. I have gone to Masjid Zahir (A Muslim’s Mosque) in Alor Setar. I do not have exposure meter so I brought my Canon 300D along with me to get the metering reading (cheat). You cannot complaint me here; I have never learned any photography thingy so I cannot estimate the exposure yet. After have some idea about the exposure, I used Manual Mode. By counting the timing in my mind, guessing the shutter speed (around six seconds with bulb mode). I done lot of shots, hope they coming out well. An hour and half later, I have done. Today not bad at all, quite a good quantity of photo taken, but quality (@_@) haha have to wait until I reach the 36A frame.
That it, good night! And I have my last sip of my ‘gone-cold’ liquor coffee. Tara ~!
PS: look forward for future shooting with this crazy Canon AE-1P!!!
me me stacking rocks.
similar shot done with CanonAE-1P. hope it comes out well.

第五天，在吃完早餐后师姑就带我回去会馆。那天我带了相机和三脚架，当然是牌照啦！好让补回前三天没拍到的室内场景。难得恢复宁静，难不成我回放过这机会？免谈！
首先我就向‘静思书轩’攻击。它的室内院子的设计很独特，我对它可说是一见钟情了。在那我可是花了不少功夫时间，我尝试各种角度去拍摄但并不是那么简单。虽然那庭院挺宽狭，由于它是密不通风加上顶处是半透明的。强烈的阳光直晒简直犹如蒸笼般酷热。几小时后觉得没什么可发挥了，之后就到书轩里去拍摄又顺便吹吹冷气。里边的顾客可不少呢，害得我最后还是将他们容纳在照相内。不久后表姐出现在我面前，叫我去吃午饭。天啊！我好像是废寝忘食了~ 到了斋堂才意志到我是多么的饿，狼吞虎咽地享用甜美的素食饭菜。爽！
之后，我又继续我的狩猎行动。再次回到庭院和书轩，干我的好事。拍腻了，我就到会馆的大厅去。观音菩萨的石像打从第一天已是我的目标了，难得有机会我还是好好的拍。不一会我就拍好了，然后就无所事事了。随后是想帮师伯的，但他就是不在之所以我也没事干了。到表姐的工作室去偷懒吹凉。就那样在里边上了小半天的网络。
下班后，回家冲个快澡然后就去到‘陈金发’的零食店去买一些道地的食品。过后我们出去找晚餐吃（大家最后还搞了各式各样的特大碗水果杂冰），再随后我们又到昨天九王爷庆典场那儿。那天是把九王爷送回天国的日子，当然特别热闹啦~什么过火炭的种种惊心表演。我们刚到不久他们就散场了，因为我们去到的时候也已是很迟了。然后我们也到‘唱大戏’那打招呼。那时可爱的宝宝已睡着了，不过那天又遇到不同的演员。在那聊了几句，又到前台去观赏也当然少不了教大家摄影玩意。就那样，又回到师姑家然后她们大伙儿聊得不亦乐乎。他们离开后，我也掉头大睡了！
第六天，是在马六甲的最后一天因为那天晚上就得回家了。早上时，我就将所有的行李袋带到会馆去。在那没干什么，只是帮了师伯们一些小忙。之后就一直呆在控音室过着聊天的日子。那样子咯~到了回家的时候。回家途中，在巴士里和表姐谈了不少东西，都是谈说我们各自的生活经验。得知，原来大家以为我在英国是过着享乐的过日子。解说后，表姐才明白其中的另一故事。说了一些了不起和出丑的事件。最深刻的是我告诉她别人以前怎样对我‘背后捅刀’，然后我又怎样‘报仇’的经历。说起来我还真是一个阴险的人，曾在‘影暗背后’捅我一刀的人最后反而会被我在‘光明正大面前’捅回好几刀。爽！原来收集久候的大爆发狂捅人是多么的爽快~（礼尚往来）我先让你‘刺’我一刀，然后我再‘赐还’你九刀。。。
好啦~不多说无聊的东西了。回归正题吧~！相信你们也读累了，看也看到眼花缭乱了。我现在只想说的就是。。。Bye Bye！是啊！要不然你还要什么？以为还有故事吗？想得美。。。就是没有嘛~ 不爽啊？吹么？何？
哇 哈 哈 哈 哈 哈 ~ ！

Monday,Oct 24 2005, 08:16:03 AMPM Outting- Muka Head, Pulau Penang
* Muka Head
22 Oct 2005 (Saturday) - I went to Muka Head, Pulau Penang for my very first PM <Photo Malaysia> outing. Very good indeed ~!
As usual, I have my trip’s plan on late time before a day and straight away went for my excitement trip on the next coming day. That day is my first time driving alone and by myself to Penang. First time I am driving my brother’s new car to such a far place. First time I am driving in a dark environment (before sunrise). First time I do testing the car top speed limit. First time I am driving across Penang Bridge. First time I join PM outing. First time have scary sleeping driving experience. Bla bla bla…
A day before I asked my father about the time consuming for the driving trip. I been told have to drive two hours to reach Pulau Penang from Alor Setar (Town I am living). My outing meeting time is 0730 but I planned to reach the point 0700 to avoid late. I was not sleep well that night before because I am too excited about the trip. I was set my alarm on 0430 but I woke up by excitement on 0400!!! I have my slow motion ‘washi-washi’ and departed at 0500. I have two hours driving time and I should have enough time to reach the point, but somehow I have reached the meeting point at 0600!!! Thus, I only can sit in the car for wait. Bit by bit the time has past sloooooooooooowly. Settle in front of Starbucks listening to music and drinking my drink for relax. Naaaah~ (#_#) (Only parked my car in front of Starbucks and sitting in car with my mineral water and Mentos). I wait until 0700 and sent SMS and called Kelvin (to inform my arrival) but both have failed. I was worry that they have forgotten me. After a while Kelvin has returned my call at 0720 and promised to come real soon. 0740 they came to the point and straight away Kah Boon leading me to another meeting point. We (in alphabet order- Infrared, Kah Boon, Kelvin, Sebelas and myself) have our breakfast and some chat while we waiting for others. Soon after we have finished our meal Thong and Webster have arrived. And then we were heading to the venue for our outing.
At the time me reached the starting point the sky become ‘beautiful’ hahaha it rained! After we have registered for the hiking record we put on our rain gear. I have my economic rain gears, a cheap yellow rain coat and BBB (big bin bag) as my back-bag water proof protection. The rain just real heavy, under this condition it quite slippery, muggy, and wet. Good I have my rock shoe to have good ground grip but the bad is I can feel everything under my feet. I have to extra careful for pointy rock and spiky object. Of course it happens few times that I stepped on something pointy and I sing-sang-song for OUCH!!! We followed the nature foot trail and heading to Muka Head. With humid and slightly higher air pressure, the hiking was bit challenge. However I still running and jumping around like monkey. Because of raining condition we cannot use our camera and I have missed my shooting opportunities. After 15 minutes the rain has lighter and we are under protection of trees. We have our rain gear removed, it was like a mobile sauna under the rain coat!!!
Another 15 minutes we reach the Monkey Beach on the way. We have a photo taking section while we have our short break there. I have my Canon 300D (beginner D-SLR) and that is nothing if compare to other PMers when they have pulled out their “toys” (Proper D-SLR and Lenses)!!! I love the shutter noise from their camera. So excited! There is a clean sandy beach with lot of monkeys. We have some pictures of monkeys taken, also watched some monkeys fighting (very exciting and funny). Few monkeys was chasing and fighting, one great scene was one monkey has pushed the other monkey into sea. Still, the fighting was continued. We also luckily missed a few of the coconut attacks.
And then, we continued our remaining hiking. The trail is wider and easier, however it more danger because we have to walk on rock on most part. It slippery and it near to high cliff side, a miss step could easily get hurt. The higher we reach to the thinner the air we can get. We frequently have few minutes short break within each 15 minutes (average) hiking. I believe we all sweat and exhaust like a racing horse. As I mentioned (I am bit more active), I running and jumping all the way. Tell you what, because I leading in the front line and I almost step onto a dead monkey! Some how it lay dead at the middle and the body color well blend with the surrounding. If I less careful I really will step on it. An hour later we reach to the top of Muka Head, the light house. A WHAT~?! The gate locked!!! So we only can take photo from the outside. Is a disappointment but I felt the achievement and pleased that we did it together. Another break we have, and then we head back to the start point. And again, on the way back I forgot about the dead monkey. I almost step on it again, luckily not. I take some photos which I had missed from the way we have passed. I felt more pain on the way back, my feet keep suffering the pain. I sing-sang-song more because I less care what about on the ground.
Hours and 15 minutes later, we reach the point. We have our recharge time, sport drink! We have said good bye and split up with Thong. And then Sebelas and Infrared shared with Kah Boon‘s car and Kelvin and Webster shared my car. We went for Nasi Kandar (Local Malaysian-Indian food). One thing I did notice is Infrared, he ate a lot. From breakfast, afternoon tea, and lunch… he has not stop eating and all double portions. I did mentioned about his meal portions, the others were laughed and told me these are nothing for them if compare to the normal day. Especially the time they have outing at Maxwell, Taiping (I missed). After eating and chatting, we have our good bye time and I have my driving back to Alor Setar. After this activity, I am very tired. A few times with sleeping driving very scary!
This outing was great and I am look forward for the next outing or TT. Also I cannot wait to see what other PMers have for their shooting result, must be great!

第四天，我的表姐带我去马六甲的主要景点- 红屋。那天我是个人步行，虽然对旅途行程没有头绪但最后还是走了不少的地方。首先我是向博物馆去，我觉得马来西亚的博物馆还得多多改善。实在太差了！从售票员的服务态度，就缺少那种欢迎的感觉。连必备的参观指南也没有，公共设备方面也严重缺乏。博物馆又头至尾给我的感觉是‘没吸引力’，完全没有想去详细了解内容的趣感。室内的摆设方面很破旧及不方便，分区的定位也凌乱不便。安全设置方面也要不的！木地板凹凸不平和破旧的地毯，在灯光不足下没有警告提示或显眼标志实在太危险了！阶梯又没有扶梯或栏杆维护，不小心还真会跌个半条命呢！周围都不见公务员的影子，就算东西真的被偷了都不会知道吧？还有要询问或紧急事故时都不知道找谁好！展览物也没有完全的解说和标题，多半摆上去的图画可说是中学生层度的作品！这种东西摆出来也难免太丢人了吧~！！！
接着就步行到另一个景点--葡萄牙展览船。在该购票处付钱后会给分发一张入门票和一个塑料袋，话也不多说的。我还真一头雾水不知道是为什么，没解说的情况下我还以为是作为纪念品呢~！入口有个‘请脱鞋’和‘把鞋放进袋子然后带入。把鞋遗漏在外者，后果自负’的提示牌，最后才知道原来塑料袋是收鞋子用的。进去不到十分钟，把它看了一圈。无聊透顶，展览物寥寥无几，讲解栏也有数。这一个参观简直是浪费金钱和体力。最气的是那塑料袋，就这样浪费丢弃了。我认为当局因该使用可复用的类似布袋，以便可以重复使用（环保概念）。
随着无数的失望后我步行到文化街去，烈日太阳下行走可不是那么舒服的。幸好我带了双面渔夫帽避免暴晒，说起这帽子的配搭还带有趣事。也许当天打扮有些一点突出 — 一个戴渔夫帽的黄皮肤小子背着小背包还在脖子上挂着大相机，虽然有稍微别致的衣裳搭配和穿着法竟然就被当地人当误认是日本人。那我如果穿上礼服和绅士高帽后我难不成就是魔术师了？开玩笑，上下前后左右怎么看我都像个马来西亚人！拜托啦。。。回到主题~ 文化街只在周末夜晚热闹，所以我也只能烈日下“欣赏”街景。走累以后我便到一间小店休息，还点了当地好吃的小甜品--椰糖Cendol水果杂冰。这店可爱极了，里边的陈列品都是店主的收集品（都是非卖的）。最得意的是汽水罐系列，她把收集品各自标上它们的来源地和年历。各种各样的可乐瓶罐，当时还想把我手中的可乐水罐给她呢！但这是两年前特意在英国带回来给父亲的Vanilla Coke，结果还是没给她。当时顾客不少，所以没有拍下店里的摆设。之后又到一间挺有趣的礼品店去，当然趣事又来了。选了一些小礼物，然后在付钱时才发现后备钱不在我背包里。乌龙的我幸好在余下的琐碎零钱还付得了账。告诉你们，我在马六甲的一个星期可惨了~我的MayBank Card 不知为何用不着，眼看提款机的屏幕显示我的账户有钱，但就是提不了钱！快急疯了，也只能靠后备钱过活。现在你应该会反问我为何之前又提到后备钱不在背包里。那是因为我以为它们是在我这小背包里，其实我是密藏在另一个遗留在家里的大背包里头（摄影背包）。在离开家的时候还被提问有没有钱，当时还很自信的说有。谁叫我不二次检查，这回真是活该的！原本是说好会搭车回会馆会见表姐，就因为没钱也只好打电话求救了。等待当儿，我又回到红屋那里去拍照。快近黄昏了天空的光度和色度也比较柔软，当然我不会放过这机会。当时又被当地旅游客误认成外国人，用僵硬的英文问我要帮他们拍照。当然在我用中文回答时他们才发觉不是。我领过相机后就先检查设置后再拍照，他们虽然只要求拍一张但我还是多拍了几张。（我想这是职业病吧）。当时他们还惊讶的看着我，似乎我将会搞坏他们的相机。检查后发觉拍得不错还问我是怎样弄的，当然向他们解说了但最后还是劝告他们用Auto Mode。在之后周围的旅客更逐渐减少了，我就大胆起来了。为了达到不同的角度，难免就要挑战自己的毅力和委屈身体了（这我也惯了）。最夸张的是我跨到喷水池去，一脚在围圈台一处而另一脚跨到喷泉里头的石台。距离可不小，我就也快使出‘一字马’的样子了，如不小心滑倒还真会跌个半死。无数的路过人也盯着我看，竟然被看到了我也继续啰~旅游景点难免会有人在那拍纪念照。得保持着艰难的肢体状态下真的等到我的手和脚都酸死了，好不容易才等到没人出现在我的拍摄视线里。天色就昏暗了，没三脚架的情况下也只能放弃最后了。之后表姐也从下班那过来接我了。
车上都已坐满了人，再加上我就是很挤了。克服拥挤不久之后，我们到达了海边。原来表姐是想带我来看海岸沙滩和顺便拍照。当然我们一伙都备有相机，就这样开始我们的狩猎行动。也就是因为近黄昏，很快天就完全变黑暗了。在大家都没有很好的收获里，我教她们调相机里的一些设置然后玩一些特效。她们还真玩得好高兴，给她们做到一些意想不到的效果。就因为小东西就可以让她们多么的开心，当时我还有很满足的成就感和快乐。在黑暗里还是有另一种拍摄乐趣。我们留意到桂兰在无意中有拍到不错的，也在她一句话里我们提了一个好笑的挑逗话给华勤好在明天整他：“我只是玩着随便拍的”。她们想明天把该照片摆在办公室里然后再向华勤显耀，让他追问如何拍摄然后再用“我只是玩着随便拍的”这一句趣逗他。目的是让他惊讶和后悔不到我这来玩。吃晚餐后，接着我们到某一个庙去九王爷的庆典场合参看。想不到在那给我们碰上华勤了，她们把照片给他看也顺便挑逗了他。果真有那我们预想的反应，呼得我们乐着了。当然我们也没告诉他我们在笑些什么。这种庆典场合里是少不了有‘唱大戏’（古装唱剧）。我们还特意到剧场后台要求参观。记得我在小年纪时候就不知为何喜欢看这种戏，虽然看不懂但公公（我是称爷爷为公公，而公公为外公）还常常特意地骑电单车载我到某处看‘唱大戏’和‘手娃戏’。想到了都温馨！每回提到大戏都会想起已往生的他。。。
这么大年纪，我还是第一次到后台参观。真是另一番风趣，看着剧员们忙着做准备。看着他们专心化妆的神态，我很冲动地提起相机直拍。后台的灯光昏暗，当时多想用闪光灯补助。因为不想影响到前台的观众和骚扰到后台的剧员，所以不能打闪光灯也只能拍灯光不足和半带模糊的照片。挺逗趣的是那位坐在角落的叔叔，由于后台热得很而他正半裸地坐在那编制着戏服。当他意志到我们的相机逼近时就连忙叫到：“哎哟~不要拍我！我可没穿衣服呀！待会啦！”急忙地把简白的古衣穿上。首先他还以为我们是来自某报馆的记者，后来我们没满着他反而以真相表白。他也很友善的应付我们想深入了解唱戏的‘超级问答比赛’。我们就像在记者会里的情景一样每个人一言一语地抢着发问，可以说比追踪记者还要厉害。后来得知他是很了不起，他在这剧台不但担任演员和导演，就连戏剧的古装戏服都是他做的！他把刚刚正在编制的官府龙袍给我们看，很漂亮咧！那是一件亮红色的衣裳，上面布满着一丝一线以亮片用手缝制成的神龙构图。随后那叔叔还告诉我们要如何照顾那些戏服。当时剧员的小孩也在后台，表姐和她的同事们都逗着可爱的小妹妹玩而我也趁机照相。虽然没很理想，但还挺高兴因为能有这个机会那么地接近。最后还来个合体照，当然和往常一样摄影师是不会在照相里出现。
就那样，表姐就载我回师姑家休息。到了那，要好的她们也少不了告诉师姑今晚一切有趣的经历和展示今天的收获。大家嬉笑地欢乐了一小段时间，也必然要有散席的时刻。当然我也感到有风趣地过了我在马六甲的第四天。我很疲劳了所以快速洗完澡后就掉头大睡，那晚还是我睡得最甜的一次。
待续。。。

答应别人的就得做。
我刚回到马来西亚还不到一个星期，就被提议协助马六甲慈济会的‘大专生生活营’。与其在家里发呆，不然做一些有意义的活动。潇洒果断地买了车票，第二天就打从吉打到马六甲往去。
我已两年没接触马来西亚文化了，突然回来不久又到什么生活营去。有点担心我会应酬不来，加上自己不是很了解拖办的职务。虽然说是帮忙摄影，但我还不知应该做什么呢~ 更何况一向Free-Lance的我从未做过什么正统场面的。
如叫我拍Fashion, Advertise, Wedding, Portrait, Landscapes等等，我还过得了关。‘慈济’在我的脑里是难以排除‘正经’与‘严肃’这种的关连词。向来我行我素的我真不知如何下手。三天睡不到十二小时的我在到达马六甲后就得向慈济会馆冲去。疲劳的我得带着沉重的背包与旅行袋到一个非常陌生的地方执行任务。虽然这回只是自愿又没钱拿的工作，但还是得硬着头皮把它做到好。谁叫Be The Best是我的格言。当然在先了解别人后才能做到最佳，所以我先向公务员沟通。我要求看一看历来的照片以便参考用途，最终还得不到呢。 只听到子豪说要的是大场面（Tips）。一向以拍摄细节为主的我来说会有一点挑战。后来又听说到几天后会有两位专业师伯到场参与拍摄。这压力可大了~！虽然我在英国打倒不少Professional Photographer，但我不成合作更何况是在马来西亚。害怕自己的层度与作风，不知道到时候会被挨骂吗？带着疲劳身体与模糊脑袋大约了解情况和场景。老实说当时记不了多少，到时再来打算！
打从参营员的到达我也开始‘开枪’乱射。不知多少无辜者遭殃于我的枪管下，哈哈哈。。。无意间认到一位校友-伟雄，就这样惊讶地问候彼此。他不但是这一届的营员还是组长，当时我还盼望会碰见多几位校友，结果也只有他罢了。我已有两个月没使用相机了，还好宝刀未老的我在十分钟内把僵硬的手指们变回子弹手指。华勤提示我应该趁机捕捉多人的场面。我当然拍了不少，马上给华勤看。我短短的十分钟拍摄成绩把他吓坏了，不是我拍得一流而是次数太多了！突然才想起子豪之前告诉我一小时拍摄百多张对他们是害怕与头痛的经历。一小时内拍摄三百多张对我是小事一宗，但要我限量压缩次数那将会是挑战。好不简单才压制子弹手指的痛痒。
五小时后终于到了当天的结尾。太累了所以没经过我的Photoshop就交货了，洗澡后就想掉头大睡。但我的卧室是音控室，公务员都为明天的节目筹备与彩排。我只好陪练了~好无辜哦~凌晨两点多才有机会睡，但五点多就得起身了！疲劳空着肚子拍了一些早操的场景。早餐后到公务处询问我的成绩。得知：（1）小半天拍三百多张是太多了。（2）照像是拍得很不错，但用不上。原因是角度与视感不适合，要的是那种端正报道式的。耍角度是不适合这里！
第二天开始，我的照片都是以正角度的。当然我不会让它变成那种死气重重或无聊排排比的照片！正好锻炼自己咯~要正角度但又要有气氛。我开始想以面目表情方面着手，但又想到‘大场面’这三个字。哎~高难度！我喜欢！！！
当天攻站分别有四个游戏场，华勤与我各分两站。起先我同意了守顾我的两站，但后来忍不住了擅自跑到华勤那偷拍。心想只光顾着两站太浪费了， 所以我跑了四站把他们全拍了。午餐后的攻站是一样的，由于我都有了照片所以我丢给华勤看顾了。太累了所以想到音控室那小睡。谁知他们又彩排，只能坐在那‘修念静坐’。后来还有一个节目是很感人的（苹果树），营员都被蒙眼然后在灯光极暗的环境里细听故事。我的任务是把感情的一面拍下。谈何简单？！在ISO-1600 情况下还得花半秒以上开镜孔才能捕抓。子豪与华勤在之前告诉过我：“历来他们都没成功过，这回吃饭吃粥看你了！”果真很难！幸好没失望，虽然画质不理想，但至少有货做交待。匆忙带过了那一天，没Photoshop改良也交货去了。他们被我的收获吓到了，一天拍两百多张给他们。还好我没告诉他们我是挑选后才只交出一半的货。当天晚上还是一样，得无辜陪练啦~！
第三天，压力来了。要与专业人士合作！我拍了生活营纪录照以便有个交待，之后马上到操场上执行另一份任务（分身术）。协助拍摄慈济会主办的运动会。刚从音控的冷气房出来，相机与镜头暂时带有雾气不能拍摄。只好站在一旁晒太阳，顺便留意周围。在投入运动场前，自己玩起了Paparazzi Stealth游戏， 把子豪与另两位师伯给偷拍了（到第二天他们才发现）。当然华勤在前几天也中招了，嘻嘻~ 运动场上的混乱再适合我不过了，是发挥“子弹手指”的时候。这回是家庭式运动会，当然焦点于孩子上，但他们怕羞是很难拍摄的。烈日下还好我带了‘火枪’好得有灯光补助效应以便减除投影。我平时摄影的行动都会很大，当时还担心会阻碍到他人的视线与拍摄线。到时被挨骂就不好了，所以特别留意后方。我也尽量站到远处用‘长炮’开枪。颁奖前也向成绩单偷瞄了一下，预先知道目标。之后就来个快速扫射，逮个正着！不久后就把货交给子豪了，之后还被夸了奖呢~（爽）我在‘短炮’与‘长炮’间都耍了特效，不是Photoshop啦！只是玩一些Focus 和Panning小技巧。我们四个都各有风格，特别佩服师伯拍的，他们把表情和仪态都捕捉了，看了多想捏照片里的小孩。跟师伯与子豪交流摄影心得，结果我错过午饭。营会闭幕仪式，我在那乘机扫射报复。半小时内又拍了百多张，公务员头痛了！
那~这就是在‘大专生生活营’三天的缩写。
后续。。。
