Of Umbrellas and Silhouettes.

It has been a long time since I have taken interesting silhouettes. I love taking silhouettes pictures because it is easy! =) and with a little creativity you can take wonderful silhouettes just like a pro. Silhouettes are pictures taking against the sun. You put the subject in front of you and facing the sunlight you capture your shot. Easy weezy.

A few close friends when to Jolene’s house for the Chinese New Year and we had a mini gathering. While waiting for the rest, the few of us (me, Jolene, Suba and Yvonne) went out to the field nearby and decided to go wild with the camera. So here is only a glimpse of the many shots we took. Enjoy =)

All pictures were taken by me unless noted otherwise. *tripod used.

Wonderful trees around the park.



Chicks under my umbrella… eh… eh… under my umbrella… ella… ella… (I hate that song by the way, super irritating!)
Ooh I love this shot of Suba!!! She was moving and dancing and I kept snapping away with my camera and got this really nice one.
Subashini =D
Me. Picture taken by Jolene =)
Jolene Tan =D
Yvonne Yap =D
Suba again. Nice. She has the move!
Yvonne =D
I think with photoshop this picture can be edited to be really nice. Maybe I will try.
Jump jump!
Broadway!!! Here we come!

Ah ha!!! Saw me doing the kung fu kick? =D
I don’t know why but Jolene always seem to take wonderful shots of me jumping! This is her second one. The first was last year September 11, to see the picture, visit http://www.zlwinchew.blogspot.com/, it’s on my blog header.
Another wonderful shot by Jolene. I actually stripped off my clothes and tied in around my waist and was jumping and kicking for so many times to get a nice shot. The people at the field were wondering what this crazy bugger is doing.
Suba trying to kick =)
I like this shot, look as though she is falling.
This picture is credited to Suba. Nice! =D too bad I don’t know no taekwondo or kung fu. I know pepper spray though.
I gathered some onlookers and got them into the fun as well =)
Then I coax them into borrowing their bike saying that I will put up the pictures in STAR Newspaper haha.
Looks like E.T. =D That’s Suba.
And this is Yvonne.
Suba has a niche in silhouettes pictures. Love this pose.
For your eyes only.
Saw that little tiny droplet of water? Used the Super Macro mode on my camera for this shot.
I love this picture. Can you see the sunlight making an outline for the leaves? Look carefully.
Mushroom! Nah, nothing great about it. Eat it and you will probably end up in ICU. I like this picture cause I managed to blur the background as well as the lower front portion. Easy when you have a good camera and a just a little brain =)
Oh! The serenity…
Light shining through.
Now you can see the faces. And look at my shirt! Sweating all over.
Credits to Jolene for this picture. She took it while the sun was about to set.
