Tua Pek Kong Parade Kuching 2009 - Part 3 - Walking Team and the Crowd 01
-  Young pretty girls with light pink traditional Chinese costume were carrying hand-made lotus flower with candle light in the middle of the lotus.  They lined themself up in a tidy order.

Can you see that?  One of the girls was looking at my camera?  Before I took this photo, I was shooting in video mode of a lion dance.  This group of girls was following very closely behind the lion dance, while I was ready to take their photos, I can only take the photo from their back. :(

I still remember I have seen a first prize photo for a Wesak day parade years ago.  The photo has similar elements, pretty girls carrying nice candle light lotus where one of the girs looking at the camera.  I hope I can take a better picture next time.  I have the opportunity but I missed it.

-  They stopped, turned around, and wave the big flag.  They needed some space to do this.

-  The crowd was sitting on the road divider to watch the parade.  Don’t you think that it is risky?

-  Same as many people had done, I parked my car beside the road, but I made sure that it did not block the way and we watched it next to my car.  When the parade was done, I can immediate get my car and go home. :)

Do you have any suggestions to convert  .mov (mpeg4 AVC1) video to flv?  I still have one or two more parts about this parade to be blogged about.  It depends on if I can find the video converter.  Check it out !!!
