Joined a portraiture shoot session last Friday night. This is my third outdoor night shoot. Met up with some regular shooters from the previous sessions. That is one of thing I like about joining organised group shoots - I get to know more people and widen my social circle. Saw one of the photographers using a Leica rangefinder during the shoot. I would really like to try shooting with a rangefinder someday.

There are some winding problems with my Seagull TLR that cause the film to jam. I'm currently looking for another medium format camera. Nothing too expensive as I'm saving up for a full frame camera. Saw a Lomo like TLR from Japan, Black Bird Fly (http://www.superheadz.com/bbf/) and this is available here in Singapore. Will pop by the shops this few days to check it out.

During last Friday shoot, we were chased away by the security guard at our third and final location. That really dampened my mood as the organiser needed to pack up the equipment, relocated to another site, and set up the lighting and other equipment again. This is not the first time I encountered such situation. We are running out of places to shoot locally due to "security reasons". It's a pity as some of the sites are really very good locations for outdoor portraiture.
