Nice and beautiful weather on a Saturday morning to begin my day with. Though it drizzled a little while I was on my way to the place, I didn't stop me from attending this shooting session organized by ahkwong, a forum member of myphotocity (www.myphotocity.com). I reached the park at around 8.45am (gathering time was 8.30am) and we got a full attendance at around 9am.

There were 15 photokaki and 4 models. We were divided into 2 groups, group A and B and I was lucky enough to be in the same group with sanctuary, sauping82 and tomato. Each group was assigned with 2 models to begin with. Our group members (8 of us) decided to split to 2 teams and each take 1 model at a time. My team (sanctuary, sauping82, tomato and me) started with Janice.

Note that during the entire shooting session on that day, we stick to mostly 1 different location for all 4 models because 1) we don't really have much time to walk around, 2) we didn't want the models to walk around to tired themselves and 3) we were lazy to walk :D

I was addicted to my new lense - the Canon EF24mm f/1.4L USM on my Canon EOS 5D and happily trying out wide angle portrait on that day.

At around 10am, it was time to switch models. Of course this is the break time for everyone to sit down, have a drink, eat something, relax ourselves and chit chat to get to know others better. Since everyone's here, time for a group photo. Can you spot me?

After almost 30 minute of break time we resume our shooting session, each team with new pair of models.

The session lasted until 12pm. The weather was hot and I was tired, but I enjoyed the session. Thanks to the organizer for the effort.
