Mid Autumn Lantern Festival @ MBKS

Haven’t been shooting lately due to work and left this blog un-updated. So finally, there is an interesting event over at MBKS, the Kuching South Council Headquater. It stated in the title, its the Mid Autumn Lantern Festival although the official date is over but still,  its “autumn”. Anyway, didn’t shoot much photos. it was very crowded and I did not squeeze through the crowd like I usually do. Feeling kinda lazy this time. The weather was hot too, I tried not to move around and stayed in same spot.

There werre many programmes for night, drum performance, dancing, wushu and also singing. Didn’t shoot all those. I stand aside and enjoyed the show instead. A great evening to kill the time.

The 7th Lunar Month

An unusual photography event for some, but I still find some photographers making their appearance there. I am also one of them. The event took place near the so called “Seven Stories Flat”, at a small temple. This event is held annually to welcome and make entertainment for the “good brothers and sisters” who are having their holiday on human world during this time of the year, the 7th Lunar Month.

Depending on some people, it may be a taboo to visit these places but for others, it can be an opportunity of blessings. Treat the spiritis well and you will get blessings from them in return. I am there to experience the ceremony and taking photos thats all.

Kuching City Day Parade 2008

In conjunction with the Kuching City Day, the annual parade is held once again. This year is hosted by the South City Council. I learned a lesson last year, not to shoot the parade when they’re on parade. Instead, shoot the parade when they’re not on parade. Meaning, the best time to shoot is when they’re gathering up and getting ready for the parade. So most likely they will fool and play around, thats where you can capture all the mood and fun.

Mini Cosplay Con (KAA Event)

A charity event organized by the Kuching Autistic Association was held at Boulevard Shopping Mall Kuching.  Well the main attraction would be the cosplayers. I would regard it more as a mini anime convention as it seem to be the main highlight there.

Took some photos of the nutty and wacky cosplayers in action. Mostly candid shots.

Deity Kuan Gong Procession

Despite the huge down pour during the event, it didn’t stop me from shooting this sacred event which was held behind Hock Lee centre. I have always wanted to shoot photos of people going in trance of deity.  I could have taken more photos if I went earlier and got myself a nice angle. I had to squeeze myself through the crowd. Good thing people still respect media photographers.

Hiang Thian Shang Ti Temple Procession

One of my most fruitful outdoor event shooting. Controlling flash in low light situation has always been my weakness in photography. But for this event, I guess I managed to get something finally. Click more for the full gallery.

More about this event, its an annual celebration of the deity’s birthday if I am not mistaken. Usually falls around January. A procession will be held starting from the temple. You will get to see lion dance, trance and participation from tao and buddhist societies and other groups that are interested to make an appearance.
