Photo Walk on 28-01-2014 (Tuesday) 7.30pm. Welcoming the Year of the Horse in Chinatown

Chinatown all over the world is normally full of activities for last minute shoppers
welcoming the CNY. This coming CNY is the Year of the Horse. There are 100 horses for Year of the Horse and this coming Year 2014 is the Green Wood Horse.

This kind of atmosphere only happens once a year in Chinatown all over the world. In order to capture our, Singapore, kind of mood, atmosphere and colour, I am going down to Chinatown to see what I can capture with my camera this year.

Fellow SHCians and shutterbugs are welcome to join me. After that, if you are still “ON”, you can made a movie and post it in Youtube to share. This is a good challenging project for IT Interest Group (ITIG) members. The first 20 attending this photo walk will be the FIRST 20 to be invited to the coming Windows Movie Making (WMM) 2-sessions Course, in Leng Kee Community Centre. Date, time and venue to be confirmed at a later date (but not earlier than March 2014). For those who cannot attend the WMM lessons, the places will be given to the next on the waiting list.

After the walk, we can adjourn for supper or just a cup of coffee or tea to discuss about the coming WMM lessons.

A word of caution when walking in crowded areas. Beware of pickpockets. Never give them an opportunity to share some of your belongings or cash.  When taking pictures at night, never use “Flash” if there is other people close by you. It is impolite and may start a quarrel or a fight.

Details of the photo walk is as follows:

Date: 28-01-2014 (Tuesday)
Time: 7.30PM
Meeting Place: Chinese Temple entrance, opposite Maxwell Food Centre.
Time to Commence Walk: 7.35PM
End Point: Chinatown Point Shopping Complex (about 9.00PM)

  27. Good evening Kristy, Yew Tiong, Lydia, Ah Nee, Paul & Peggy, Thomas and Aaron & Juliet – all are welcome. Maybe we have to break into Groups lead by Paul, Aaron and me (any other volunteers?).

    For those exceeding the 20 mark and interested in the WMM lessons, you all have to wait for those (<20) to back out on the WMM lessons. If there is demand, I may consider conducting additional lessons. But first, please indicate your interest.

    Jacqueling and Fredalim – as explained to you, your queue numbers are indicated in the post.

    Thanks.

    Thanks!

  35. Anne, WMM stands for “Windows Movie Maker”. It is a software program included in all Microsoft Operating System (OS) when you buy a Windows 7 or Windows 8 laptop or desktop computer.

    Imagine you went to a tour, took many photos or you attended a birthday or wedding event and took a lot of pictures. Nowadays, there are better ways to keep these memories. One way is to get a photo studio to compile it into a photo album. The other way is to do it yourself and “make” a movie out of these photos you have. If you are still “ON” to IT, you can even “burn” these memories (or records) into DVD discs and playable on any standard DVD player.

  37. Hi Hew Lee

    I just found out that I have to conduct a tour at NMS on Wed, 29th Jan, which means I have to do some preparation the day before. Hence, I have decided to
    withdraw from the Photography Walk in Chinatown on the 28th.
    I apologise for the inconvenience and hope to join the next time.
    May I take this opportunity to wish you a Happy and Prosperous CNY.

    rgds, Barbara

  40. Hi Hew Lee,

    I may be slightly late for registering CNY Walk on Tuesday 28 January 2014. But of course you can still, with a touch of amazing grace, seriously consider to count me in for Windows 7 Movie Making Course in Leng Kee Community Centre, i.e. in March/April or a later date, whichever is flexible. I am using Windows 7 Premium for surfing worldwide internet via my SOHO home-based desktop computer.

  43. Hi Hew Lee,
    I would like to go for this walk & hope you would allow me to join.
    Please accept my apology for the late response.

    Priscilla Wee : )
