The 2008 Sabah Dragon Boat Race
Hi guys! If you're new here, you should subscribe to my RSS feed. TQ for visiting! :)
So who attended this event this morning?
Anyone? Anyone?
Sis Jewelle and I went to check it out early this morning (sans WC; he got sick this morning, but feeling much better now). And like what my sister said about me having to park our car about 1km away from the venue was surely troublesome! And the scorching sun didn’t help at all! And silly me, I went there without putting on any sunblock and a hat, and sure enough, my skin immediately got much tanner than before. Urgh..
Anyways..
See anyone you know? Kekeke.. They came up to the shore to pick up another photog
Even with my Minolta 70-210mm lens attached, it wasn’t enough as the boats were just too far away from the shore. 
So we walked closer to where everybody else were. Met Radzie and Roy here too
And it was slightly better
Rowing back to the shore
We left slightly before 9am, as the sun was too unbearable. But what do you know.. it rained not long after we left!

i went to the dragon boat race too. yes, the boat was very far. not just your 200mm have problem, mine 300mm also got some problem too. it would be great to get a 500mm and get some face expression closeup shot! i do lots of people shot that day, will put it on my work@home blog a little bit later.
ps - waaa.. i saw julian too and the GF with a pro videocam.
