On Sunday, my little niece took part in the Cold Storage Kid’s Run held at the F1 pitstop. I tagged along to play shutterbug.
The Singapore Flyer
This shot was taken with the High Contrast digital filter on my camera; I suppose it’s good for post-processing but not on-the-spot shots because it requires rendering time. But overall I am loving the effect.
Colourful balloons
Because I love colourful things, I am always instantly attracted to balloons at any event (see: Pinkdot).
Having fun
I think part of being a shutterbug is shamelessly taking pictures of other people having fun. This family looks like they are having much fun hauling the brother.
Showing off her temporary tattoos
This is the little girl in question. She’s 4, and showing off her temporary tattoo with the Flyer as background.
Stroller
This inappropriately-dressed parent is stroller-racing with a toddler who’s alseep. So many things wrong about this picture but he looks like he’s having fun.
Lone boy
“No one behind me – am I the first or am I the last?”
As long as my spirit's not broken.
A particularly heartrending scene – you have to be there to feel what I felt. As these challenged participants made the turn towards the finishing line, bystanders clapped and cheered them on. It’s a certain kind of community and humanitarian spirit that is so precious.
Big steps
It was fun to shutterbug. :)
