The kid was playing with the ball fountain.

Let’s us start our stories from the Perth city. We took a train to the Perth CBD (Central Business District) and we had about 2 hours to go around in the city. I was holding my camera shooting around. It was really a short tour but I have taken a lot of photos. It was a beautiful Sunday afternoon and I could feel that the air and the breeze were cooler compared to what I have experienced in Malaysia, even it was a sunny day.

One of the most excited scene that I found was this kid playing with the ball fountain. This lovely naive kid was curious and playful. She happily touched the water and try to wipe the stone. If I am not mistaken her father was sitting not far away watching her. I thought when I was going to point my camera to the ball fountain she would have moved away, but she wasn’t. She stayed there and did not even notice that I was taking the photos and video. She was concentrated on the ball fountain and I was focused on taking the video until I did not noticed that my group has gone far away and I was left behind. After shooting this little cute girl, I ran to catch up with them.

I like to take this type of photos and videos where the model is posting naturally instead of prepared, stand still, and acting unnaturally. It is not candid, but I shoot at anytime without letting the model to prepare. With this method, I can record the “real” behaviour and emotion of the model. The best moment to take this type of photo usually is as short as you blink your eyes, therefore I need a fast camera to do this, thanks to my camera for giving 4fps at the full 10 Megapixels resolution. Some of the photos may make the model look funny, which they want me to delete the pictures whereas some of the photos will capture a short moment and turn it into a permanent record and the model is happy with it.

To the kid in the video above:  I hope you like your video that I have captured. Contact me and I will send you a better quality of the video above.
