.The One Mile Shot.

Speaking of exploring beyond our comfort zones, recently I decided to take a leap of good faith and try something new - I bet you'll never guess it: ordering take out and sitting by the side road to enjoy your food. hahaha... yep, you bet. I did it.

It was a rainy night out and, with Rockband, we cruised around town searching for some inspiration after conducting a sunset Jerudong Beach shoot. The rain despite being constant was quite light. Roads were shiny, floors were slippery, skies were dark, street lights were bright... I was just thankful there wasn't any lightning or thunder.

So by 8 o'clock, there we were roaming the streets of the city, looking for something to shoot: trying to explore the city/town in a different photographic perspective when Rockband suddenly proposed the proposterous yet unseemingly awesome idea: to cover a night city shoot in Bandar up on the pedestrian crossings, whilst enjoying take outs from KFC - naughty, naughty food!

Wow... I have to say it was quite an exciting shoot! Bascially the concept was a traffic-night scene similar to those in Bundoora, Melbourne. We conducted ours above the pedestrian bridge by Batu Satu. Driving to the nearing shopping complex, we headed over to KFC where we preceded to order our take out food and soon after, headed to the bridge.

Overall it was a fun photoshoot, however the rain did effect the quality of the photos, as the wet road reflected the lights coming from the car - it proved to be a bit of a challenge. Nevertheless despite all that, most of the photos manage to turn out well. Standing above traffic, in the middle of the pedestrian bridge, catching the rays of light streaking down the black shiny roads. I think at some point there were cars that slowed down... i suppose they were curious to see what we were up to.


Half way through the shoots, we took a break - which was when we took our packed food and by the stairwells, sat to our comfort and ate to our jolly stomachs. Hahaha... till this day, i still can't believe I did that. One word: Ghetto!

Oh yeah not forgetting to share with you guys, in these past few weeks I've been privileged enough to be able to catch some amazing scenes in Brunei.First being the "smiling moon", that beamed up its lovely vision up against the dark skies. Twinkling down to earth from the heavens...

And the second being, an evening shot around the back of my house. Just as the sun was setting, I was fortunate enough to catch one of the ever-noisy planes gliding across the horizon and coincidentally into my shot! Talk about awesomeness, eh?
