This post is titled Dinner by Candle Light at Sheraton Utama Hotel by author SoulJah. 0001_DSC_5433

This was taken during Earth Hour 2009, where Sheraton Utama Hotel did an event marking the occasion with a presentation and talk about the effects of Global Warming.

Will get back to the swing of things soon. Been too busy with a wedding event, and my short trip to KK. Will do a post requested by my mate from a mate of mine for a very interesting topic for you frequent travellers. Stay tuned.

She's a representative from KK competing for the first time in the ISO category. Previously she competed in the Opie or Optimist class of boats, which were the tiny little one man boats. Even at her first competition, she bagged a respectable third place!

This post is titled Final Dash by author SoulJah. 0101_NIKON D300_DSC_1047

0182_NIKON D300_DSC_1236

Taken during the DST Women's Sports Day event at the Balapan last Sunday, which saw the Ministry of Finance team bagging second place overall. Good job team!

Good opportunity in getting to grips with my new TeleConverter. A stress test revealed it might not be able to keep up with fast sports, and I really need to do an AF Fine Tune to get the sharpest image possible. But I'll learn to work around the shortcomings and make it fit into my style of shooting.

A flag bearer stands infront of a giant Brunei flag that will be carried into the Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien at the start of the National Day celebration.

The reflection off of the flag sets the subject apart nicely out of the background.

Couldn't get much focus blurred shots in, as the show ended abruptly. I was set up with a 70-200 at the outset, but once reality sets in, I had to run back to the car to get my 17-55. And focus blurring with the 17-55 is a real pain in the rear.

This post is titled National Day 2008 by author SoulJah. 0171_NIKON D300_DSC_9000
A young lady waves a mini Brunei flag while taking part in the march past at the capital.

I thought last year's celebration was already huge in terms of the number of photogs descending upon the capital, but here we fielded our own platoon of shooters almost rivalling any other photography organization. Great show guys!

This post is titled HSBC Charity Grand Prix pt. Trois by author SoulJah. 0009_DSC_0020
She was quite popular with the kids that day.
0015_DSC_0035
Face painting was also quite popular, with a constant stream of kids and adults coming in and out.
0018_DSC_0046
Human Foosball was also another attraction. This kid is way too cute to know what the hell's going on.
0019_DSC_0050 (by SoulJah)
Cute kid.
0023_DSC_0056
Even though it's human foosball, the celebrations on a goal was almost like any other football game.
0024_DSC_0059
She was enthusiastic, and keep on going for the ball the whole game.
0035_DSC_0087
A little break in the action as the rain sets in.
0042_DSC_0111
Everyone was taking shelter.
0048_DSC_0123
Glad that I did. Found another model.
0050_DSC_0131
Well, it's not hard to get anyone to pose really.
0052_DSC_0137
But I rather like candids like this.
0070_DSC_0173
Well, unless they have a cute smile.
0079_DSC_0188
'They see me rollin', my stroller... Tryna catch me riding dirty...'
0083_DSC_0198
'Nobody knows it, but you've got a secret smile, and you use it, only for me...'
0097_DSC_0215
A whole lot of models waitin' in line. A great turn out by the bikers, taking the kids on a ride around Bandar.
0094_DSC_0212
The only time I wished I was still 10.
0096_DSC_0214
It's hard to be inconspicuous with a huge lens.
0099_DSC_0219
Riding off.
0108_DSC_0006
I thought this would be the last picture of the day. I went off for lunch shortly after this, but when I saw the Stormtroopers roaming around the place, I went back to my parking space, and paid for another hour of parking just to catch em.
0113_DSC_0024
It turns out, that this was in fact, the guy who went to the 501st Legion march during Macy's parade last year in New York. I was utterly and totally, geeked out at that moment.
0128_DSC_0064
The bikers having a go at the obstacle course.
0132_DSC_0069
They were really gunnin' for it.
0141_DSC_0081
And everyone was laughing all the way to the end, with their friends cheering them on.
0147_DSC_0088
There weren't any paddings at the other end of this drop.
0150_DSC_0095
Posing with the 'troopers.
0151_DSC_0099
As requested.
0152_DSC_0101
Met King there as well, his bike was among those lined up.
0153_DSC_0102
As the bikers were yelling out, "A White Tiger is coming through!"
