A Rustic Escapade

I think its been almost 20 years since I last step into Pulau Ubin.
This small island is about a 10 minutes boat ride from Singapore.
Together with 3 other X-Photographer, Keith Low, Benny Ang,
Chia Aik Beng a.k.a. ABC.; we lead a group of fellow passionate
photographer enthusiast to explore Pulau Ubin.

X-cited tourist.

This half day photowalk is organized by Fujifilm Singapore. I must
say this little island have indeed been in a time warp. Nothing
really much has change since I was there the last time. I am not saying
its a bad thing rather I think otherwise. For us living in the ultra fast
pace city state Singapore, spending a couple of hours here is indeed
a treat. Everything slow down. Gives one time to really soak in this
beautiful tropical island of the by gone era.

Debrief before going home.

The night before I was packing my gears. Wondering what to bring.
After thinking it through as it also the raining season; I decided to
pack all gears WR. X-T1, XF16mm, XF35mm F2, XF50-140mm
and 1.4TC WR. Oh boy was I glad; during our last stop which was
a sumpstoupes lunch by the sea, it begin to pour cats and dogs.
As we walk back to the jetty to board our boat back to Singapore, I
was not worried of the rain and continue shooting happily as I am
the WR photographer of the moment!
