Shine 2009 Festival Launch Coverage Part 1 – Daytime Photos

Loads of fun and Cosplay In Ngee Ann City (ears ftw)

As part of the Shine Youth Festival, the official launch was made yesterday in front of Ngee Ann City with loads of fun and events taking place, despite the burning weather. The Shine Youth Festival is a series of events that takes place from 27th June to 1st August. Yes, more events will come up in the coming weeks.

Featuring activities from Kurobara Gothic Lolita Cosplay, J-rock band performances and some street gigs, despite H1N1 being a well aware issue here, the crowd is still there and participants are as jovial as ever. I had taken my Nikon D90 out for her first outdoor walk today along with my kit lens 18-105mm VR and 50mm f1.8 lens.

This will be a multi post between other photographers in TBE and me. All armed with Nikon DSLRs.

geared up..lots of nice songs and performances, those boys rock with their songs ;)

50mm, f1.8 @ ISO 400. (I should set a lower ISO eh? but crap, i forgot ^^)
