The Perhentian Legend (_DSC0113)

Ayu and Helen listening to Prof. Dr. Wan Kadir telling us his version of the Perhentian Island Legend

Location: The Reef Chalets,
Perhentian Island, Besut, Terengganu, Malaysia

Taken with a Nikon D40 digital camera and Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM lens

My notes:

People, especially children, get bored very quickly. If you start fiddling with your camera telling them to hold on a minute you will never get good pictures. The most important part of the picture is the expression on the face. When you see that expression you must be ready to instantly capture it, everything else, the lighting, the background, the composition must be ready. Facial expressions, at least the good ones, are very fleeting things. If you ask someone to smile and you leave them holding that smile for even a second it will look very, very false.
