Historical final burning of Prai’s Tai Soo Yah ~ Part 3
Historical event of the final burning of the Tai Soo Yah Paper Effigy at Prai Megamall, Penang, on Merdeka Day eve of Tuesday, August 30, 2016 as there shall be no paper effigy as from 2017. A permanent idol of Tai Soo Yah of over 12 feet in height shall be replacing this paper effigy in future. Thus, this permanent idol of Tai Soo Yah put an end to future burning of the Tai Soo Yah paper effigy – a logical economical decision.
I am glad and satisfied that I had recorded this historical event with Bertrand Linet, Allen Lim and Marilyn Ho in photographic records. There shall no burning of the Tai Soo Yah paper effigy next year but I believe joss paper and other paper offerings shall be burnt instead.

Tomorrow is the Final Part 4 of this event. Hope you all enjoyed these postings.

Historical final burning of Prai’s Tai Soo Yah ~ Part 1
It was around 7.00 pm when we left the house. The traffic at the entries to the First Penang Bridge was badly jammed with cars as tonight is the Merdeka (Independence) Day of Malaya (Peninsular Malaysia) and Sabah. Crossing the bridge which usually took 15 to 20 minutes, was done in 40 minutes or so with the crawling traffic. Just wondering why no body wanted to use the Second Penang Bridge?

The Teochew Chinese Opera or Wayang
I wanted to continue with Hokkien Chinese Opera at New Lane tonight ( 08.08.2016 ) but taking a rest is better for me to gain stamina and motivation to photo-shoot till end of the Festival of the Hungry Ghost. Good night as I am going to bed.

The Second Night of Wayang Photo-shooting
This is the Second Night of Wayang Photo-shooting but I only took a short hour to capture the performance as I was not in a good mood owing to very unfair comments of calling other photographers. There is a Public Wayang schedule compiled by Hungry Ghost Festival Committee so nothing is secretive about the Wayang Performances in Penang and Mainland at all! Whoever photographers that appear at these Wayang Performances are no problem of mine at all! Anyway these Wayang Performances are open to the members of the public. Furthermore, I was never keen in the photo-shooting of the Wayang performers putting on make-up.

Day Ten: Mystery & Lighting Effects – Blessings from the Underworld
Blessings from the Underworld
I had been taking the Birthday Celebrations of the two Taoist Dieties of the Underworld – Twa Pek (Big Uncle) and Jee Pek (Second Uncle) for two years. It was extremely difficult as no flash can be used at all times. The time of the celebrations was usually from 9.00 pm till midnight. So, as photographer I tried to manage somehow. As these Dieties are from the Taoist Underworld, certain rituals and rules must be followed closely or you shall be inflicted with bad luck and cursed with severe sickness with mental disorders. This is the risk I must undertake as photographer and was glad a fellow French photographer of Brazilian nationality, Bertrand Linet was around me to give guidance. He was the one who brought a local boy, me, to see and photograph this Taoist Ceremony. I managed to shoot this Ceremony safely as I followed the regulations very closely.
The photograph showed a devotee being blessed by the Jee Pek medium in trance for health and wealth, with a feather fan on his head. The lighting from the numerous candles and paper lanterns lit the devotee’s face and his shadow deepened the darkness on the medium’s face. As high ISO of 20,000 f.4 at 1/60 sec was used the photograph has some noise but further heightened the mysterious mood of the composition.

Day Ten: Mystery & Lighting Effects
A photograph can create a mood and communicate an idea that transcends its subject. At this performance at the 2013 Montreal Jazz Festival, there was a sense of anticipation, enhanced by dramatic stage lighting that revealed silhouettes of the musicians.
What were we about to watch and hear? It was a mystery:
Photo – not included
Today, share an image that creates a sense of mystery. A lone mitten on the sidewalk. A trail leading off into the distance. Your dog’s deep brown eyes. Intrigue us with uncertainty.
Today’s Tip: To stretch yourself, manipulate the light available to you to create a particular effect — use it to cast shadows and highlights to create a moody image. Work with natural light, or find an artificial light source like the stage lights above.
The direction of light has a big impact on your photos. Things lit from the front have few shadows, and are evenly lit. When the light comes from the side, shadows and highlights are introduced, creating more texture and complexity. Lighting from behind throws things into sharp relief, silhouetting your subject.
Not sure where to start?
Take your photo during the “Golden Hour”: the time just after sunrise or before sunset when natural light is soft and takes on color tones of its own.
Illuminate your subject with a flashlight or candle.
Take a street shot, using car headlights or street lamps to light your scene.
Try a photo during the day when the bulk of the sun is hidden, revealing patches or bursting rays of light.
Working with light is, at heart, what photography is all about.
Cheers,
