The Ramadan Bazaar at Section 14 is a celebration of us. The crowd is diverse, the fashion contrasting and the food tantalising. The riot of colours, smoke and strong sun presented a wonderful photographic opportunity.<\/p>\n

I’ve included some photography tips with this photo essay. And those who asked whether the new E-P3 carried over the legendary Olympus colours, judge for yourself…<\/p>\n

\"Olympus<\/a>

Olympus Pen E-P3, ISO 200, f7.1, 1\/200 sec<\/p><\/div>\n

Peaceful, Multi-Racial Assembly<\/strong>. Crowd queuing patiently for famous Kassim’s Popiah Basah. Popiah, a Hokkien spring roll, means ‘thin biscuit.’ I chose a wide angle lens to take in the queue curling around the back lane.<\/p>\n

\"Olympus<\/a>

Olympus Pen E-P3, ISO 200, f5.5, 1\/160 sec<\/p><\/div>\n

The Wizard’s Brew Is Bubbling!<\/strong> Smokin’ Kerang. This kind of shot is possible only when the sun gets low. So timing is important.<\/p>\n

\"Olympus<\/a>

She Sells Sea Shells.<\/strong> I stuck the ultra-wide-angle lens so close that the lens misted up from the heat and smoke. An UWA<\/strong><\/a> exaggerates perspective and adds drama to any scene.<\/p>\n

\"Olympus<\/a>

Going Dutch.<\/strong> On the other hand, a simple ‘Dutch Angle’ adds dynamism to certain scenes. Use the tilt wisely.<\/p>\n

\"Olympus<\/a>

Olympus Pen E-P3, ISO 200, f7.1, 1\/250 sec<\/p><\/div>\n

Sour Sun.<\/strong> With subjects like ice and liquid, don’t be afraid to shoot against the sun. Backlit, the drink jumps out at you.<\/p>\n

\"Olympus<\/a>

Frame The Man.<\/strong> Tough but if you are patient, use people to frame a subject. See how the eyes draw you to the action.<\/p>\n

\"Olympus<\/a>

Olympus Pen E-P3, ISO 640, f6.7, 1\/250 sec<\/p><\/div>\n

Texting Time.<\/strong> Use a short tele to pick out candids but move in closer afterwards so the subjects get a chance to ask you why you were photographing them, if they want to.<\/p>\n
