Want 2 join a weekend/travel/exploring/photography club

[RoopsInSg]

Hi All,

26/m from Mumbai, India. I am here in Singapore for almost 2 months now. Till now life in Sg had been "work on weekdays and Singapore sight-seeings on Weekends". But I guess I have to shift gears for my weekend activities. I am looking forward to move from sight-seeings to more of Exploration (of the place as well as the local and mixed culture of Singapore and nearby countries). I am also looking forward for trips ( to Beaches, Historical and Natural Scenic places). I have just started into Photography after to coming to Singapore (as its a heaven for photographers). I am looking for a photography Expert to be my mentor and we can go for clicking sessions together. I am also a big Formula1 fan,will visit Singapore GP (yet to buy tickets). I am not a party kind of guy... Not In for Clubbing as well...

So you can mail me at [email protected] If you are
1) planning and looking for more folks to go on an exploratory trip
2) like Trekking/Hiking to nearby places
3) Into photography and ready to teach me your tricks we can go out together
4) Looking for buddy for Singapore F1 GP

Cheers,
Roops

Hi Roops,

24/f/Canada, In Singapore for sometime now. Good to see that you have some really nice hobbies. I have been going through the forum lately but found most of the threads are for weekend parties and fun hangouts but very less on shared hobbies. I have already dropped you a mail. Do inform me if any good plan comes up for a 2-3 days trip or Click sessions.

Hi All,
Good to see quite a few responses and mails to this post...

@Beth: Replied to your mail. Since you are not free this weekend and I will be heading for Indonesia next weekend with my office colleagues. We can sure plan some outing in the city in the week after that

@DarthCoder and @Anindya: good to know that you guys are up for F1, I havent purchased the tickets yet. I will purchase either Zone4 Walkabout (Race Day) or Bay Grandstand. If we have more show of hands then we can avail some discounts on group booking. Btw I am supporting Ferrari as well as ForceIndia Anindya...sure we can do some photography outing too.

@Sarah: Welcome to Singapore If there is some plan then lets meetup this weekend.

Cheers
Roops

I am also really into hiking and outdoor photography. My camera has been sitting in a closet for awhile and I've been dying to take it out. email me at [email protected] if you guys plan anything. I would really like to come.

[danielczh]

Also a big shutterbug, mostly landscapes and urban-scapes from my travels. Would be up for some photo walkabouts if there are any.

I mostly shoot on a 500D with a 24-105 and a 16-35. If you're a Canon as well, will be happy to share lenses.

Hi - I am thinking about getting more into photography, so would be keen to meet up and discuss new tricks. I really like my compact IXUS 100, but I can't do panoramic views (without using pc software) or time lapse, which I'd quite like to get into. Anyone know if there is a compact that can do both of these functions?? If you organise a photography outing, please let me know [email protected]

[danielczh]

Hey there, I think the functions on an IXUS are pretty limited if compared to a pro-sumer or DSLR.

You should have a look around at the new micro 4/3'rds if you are looking to up the ante, still lighter and more portable than a DSLR. Most come built-in with that panoramic swing effect that Sony first had.

For time-lapse, I am pretty sure you will need an intervalometer with a suitable camera that can take that input.

Hi all, just became a member here in the forum and I'm looking into some groups here who are into photography as I love photography and even traveling / hiking. I'm a Canon-user and into mostly macro photography, some model shoots, travel photography etc. I'd like to meet up with you guys with some same interests.

You're welcome.

Hey Nak! Thanks for that. It might just breath new life into my old Ixus 860IS. I haven't done anything in a long time with it. Might just have a play now that the camera in the SII is just as powderful!

Happy to oblige. More often than not, it's the photographer, not the camera...although manual controls help a lot.

And speaking of smartphones, I sent you a PM.
