Bernard and I went on the roof yesterday night to view the
lunar eclipse. It was a cloudy and freezing night. I shot some photos of the moon before it entered the eclipse phase but it disappeared behind the clouds at 2.50am. It wasn't until 3.47am when the clouds slightly cleared and revealed the moon but this time with an eerie reddish glow.
I started taking pictures but the moon was still in the early stages of the eclipse. It vanished again at 3.55am until way past the total eclipse climax which was predicted to be at 4.15am. I waited desperately till 4.47am but to no avail. The clouds didn't clear up so I decided called it quits.
It was fun at least, although only being able to see it for several minutes. We also found out that it was actually quite nice to fall asleep on the roof.
The first photo was shot before the eclipse and the second photo was during the eclipse. I couldn't get any closer shots because I don't have a lens that could zoom far enough. I was using my Canon 17-55mm f/2.8 lens that night.
Exams are over! Well, It was over on Saturday but I was too busy catching up on games, editing and other stuff :)
I went on yet another photo shoot with Mahira, my sister and Nadine as the model last week. It was a great shoot and Nadine did very well to put on good poses for the camera. All of these were shot in natural light.
Took some time to watch the sunset yesterday :)
The first day of Chinese New Year didn't disappoint as residents from all over pulled out all the stops and set off incredible amounts of fireworks into the sky. Bernard, Francis and I rushed to the roof to see the hundreds of fireworks that spanned our view of Luyang all the way to Penampang.
There was barely any time to think when we got on the roof. Tripod, Camera, Shoot. The shots were set at 30 seconds each. The first photo is my favourite but the third photo above caught over 30 fireworks. There were actually more but the lens was just not wide enough to capture the entire view.
It was simply breathtaking. I just don't remember ever seeing so many fireworks going off in such spectacular style. It lasted for about 15 minutes before people started to run out of fireworks. Some areas were still going strong but we decided it was time to get back into the house.
Happy Chinese New Year 2011 :)
This shot is of a ventilation contraption that was on a roof. I actually wanted a wider shot to include more sky but from where I was standing, it was impossible to get a proper frame for a shot like that.
