LE TOUR DE LANGKAWTI STAGE 6<br />
Putrajaya -> Genting Highlands<br />
<br />
What a great place to start a race!Putrajaya!Filled with architectural coolness! To be exact the starting line is in front of Ministry of Youth & Sports building. It was a rainy morning and i was really worried on how to shoot the morning preparation footage. I was excited to shoot the starting line so i had my 5dmk2 ready & stuck to my steadicam. Unfortunately i gotta take it of and mount it on a tripod with 135mm. Armed with a plastic bag, i wrapped my camera and lens. I should have 1D Mark 4 on a day like this!!! This is actually one of the most scariest stage because cycling up Genting won't be easy. Even we can see the different at the finishing line. The winner of the stage has a few minutes gap instead of a few seconds.<br />
<br />
I was lucky on this stage that our production vehicle has another route to genting so had the opportunity for a pass by shot. One 5dmk2 on my steadicam merlin bag to give a little bit of height and another mounted on a tripod with 135mm. I was told by my producer to get the face expression of the racers cycling up Genting if possible & so i went down about 300m walk down from the finishing line and mount my camera on a tripod. Since they were cycling up the hill really slow, i can freely cross the road and change as many angles as i could.<br />
<br />
And walking up to the finishing line again with a camera & a tripod was not a nice experience! Enjoy watching this stage~
