Group Photo Assignment

Once in a blue-moon I get some unusual requests, and this qualified as one of them. One fine-day I was called to shoot group photos for the management team at Malaysian Paralympic Committee (MPC). Seeing that they were having their meeting in the Bukit Jalil National Stadium, Kuala Lumpur; I moved the entire team onto the actual stadium itself, mounted several Canon speedlights (a couple of 580EX and a couple of 580EX-II) on light-stands with Pocketwizard TT5 as triggers and off we went to shoot a couple of shots.

Being mid-day, and only have so few speedlights, I barely had enough power to fill the entire group but overall it was a nice experience and I quite like those photos. And here is the one I liked best :

Off to Solo City, Indonesia

Packed to be equipped to handle every eventuality, I will be bringing around 30kgs of gear to Solo City, Indonesia to act as the Official Photographer for the 6th ASEAN Para Games.

There will be 11 sports competed at this event, they are Archery, Athletics, Badminton, Chess, Goalball, Powerlifting, Swimming, Table Tennis, Ten Pin Bowling, Sitting Volleyball and Wheelchair Tennis. Competition venues are all located in and around Solo City in central Java at the most populous nation in South-East Asia.

Adrenalin has already started pumping and I will likely not update by blog until I am back home in Kuala Lumpur.

Now… the fun begins ~! ;-)
