Street Photography Gtg In KL - December 2011
« on: October 28, 2011, 01:13:15 PM »
Was advise to start a new thread, hence the "title".

Copy & paste from the other "Street photography" thread :
"Am contemplating to organise a street shoot in KL sometime in December (as I am not free all weekends since Oct till end Nov). Tentative dates (subject to majority members preference) - 3 or 10 or 17 December 2011 around 7.30am
All Members are welcome whether using compact, film or dSLR.

I have narrow down the Venue to 3 areas :
1) Brickfields - can take the shops area + some religous architecture (Buddhist, Hindu, Christian)
2) Dataran Merdeka - surrounding area from the old Royal Selangor Club to the confluence of Gombak River
3) Petaling Street and its adjacent roads - many lifestyles around with some old pre-war building.

Would like to know MWF members preference before I open a new thread on this.

Cheers,
Chng"

What say you, members of MWF?

Great idea. I'm definitely interested.
10th and 17th December should be fine for me.
As for the location I'm leaning more towards Petaling Street.

Thanks Danny.

I guess December is still too early for most members here in MWF. Some may have plans for family holidays, hence I proposed the 3 dates.
Still awaiting more feedbacks.

For those "green" in photography, no worries. No "big guns" dSLR, no worries.
As the title suggest, it is about street photography - doesn't matter if you are new or expert in photography, using a film cam or compact (PnS) or lomo or dSLR, all are welcome.
We can share and exchange ideas/tips/advices on taking lifestyle pictures (street photography).

Cheers.

No problem Bro Siodee. Agreed with you that "sambil ambil gambar, kita enjoy makan" will be Fun.
It's just that I am full all weekends in Oct till 6/11/11 and after that another 2 weeks outstation.
Am only free in December, hence the proposal.

Anyway will keep this thread open till end Nov before more MWF members revert on the date and venue.

Cheers.

Sounds like an interesting theme.

But if it has a theme, is it still "casual" street shooting?

But i guess anything goes also haha.

Theme should be something like : Street Photography - Petaling Street Food

A sample tour will be like :
1) Restoran Yok Woo Hin - established in 1928 for VVIP in its early years, now serves dim sum, fried beef noodle, fried bee hoon with "phai guat" Cantonese style,
2) A drink at the famous "Air Mata Kuching" stall - the boss have been selling this drink > 10 years now, and lives in a PJ bungalow.
3) Next the sugar cane drink seller (if you do not want the air mata kuching)
4) The "Nam Heong" restaurant which sells chicken rice - established since 1938 famous for their chicken rice (very tasty) and they close around 3 or 4 p.m.(if I am not mistaken)
5) There is a Muachi stall too (different from Penang Ma Chi)
6) Shin Kee Beef Noodles Specialist, a small stall, is settled slight opposite of Central Market.
7) Was told that Kim Lian Kee Restaurant is located slight opposite of Hong Leong Bank, exactly at the main junction of Petaling Street, along the Hang Lekir road. It is famous with its Hokkien Mee/"Dai Luk Min". Besides, there served around 280++ different kinda Chinese dishes. Tong Sui is available there with only RM1.50 per bowl. (dunno got increase price or not)

Note : These is just a sample of some of the shops found around Petaling Street. There are more shops and stalls not mentioned in the above.

Cannot continue anymore, feeling hungry already. Gotta go for yum cha.

Last Cheers for the last day of Octoberfest month.
Chng.

David,

You are most welcome to join in the Petaling street shooting cum makan2.
Compact cam is a non-issue, having fun taking pictures + enjoy the Malaysian delicacy is the main menu apart from getting to know the other MWF members who has similar hobbies.

Watchtime,

Gtg in MWF context refers to "Get Together gathering".

Siodee,
I may put the time at 9.00am if most the participating members think it is too early at 8.30am.
Still awaiting feedback from the rest.

9am is fine for me. I suggest we don't start later than 9am otherwise we may just miss the morning light.
Just my 2 cents.
