I planned to shoot some surfers doing their thing with the zoom lens and try out the ND filters i got from ebay for cheap..but nobody was surfing that day..i dunno why..maybe baru balik from sembahyang jumaat...who knows...
Anyways i decided to walk up to the beach pool and capture the waves crashing with the pool at the foreground...
I was sitting on the rocks...listening to my ipod..mounted the camera on the tripod and wait for the best moment to pull the trigger...it was heavenly peaceful...hanged out for almost an hour ...and after walking up and down the rocks and shooting more pic and trying to avoid any pictures of kids...a dude came up to me...gabriel like sylar's real name from heroes...late 40 with huge beer belly and ask if i can send him all the pictures i took...i said ok...got his email address and we started chatting....
Later, after he left..a lady around mid 30 came up and asked me whether i managed to shoot a pair of mother and baby whale swimming down the beach....and i was like, " whatttttt...there was whales just now swimming here?".. i was kicking my self again..this time i had my camera...at the beach...but i didn't notice the frickin moby dick...arghhh...she was laughing and thought i was going to send the pictures to Sydney Morning Herald for daily prizes..and i reckoned i would have won with that kind of pictures...
Well, maybe wat they say is true...luck is not abt being at the right time, at the right place...but when opportunity arise...u are well prepared, focused on the objectives and took the leap of faith...
