Just wanted to try out new angle during my coverage for an Official Welcoming Ceremony for The President of the Republic of Maldives Official Visit to Malaysia. I wanted to include the Putra Mosque, which is the iconic landmark of Putrajaya  (The federal administrative centre of Malaysia) in the background.

During the official welcoming ceremony, every photographers can only chose one angle only, because we were prohibited to moved around and disturb the flow of the ceremony, I have my other colleague on the other side of the honor guard to get a tight shot and a closer look of the Mr President. Covering this event required a great team work, normally Department of Information Malaysia, the place where I work will send few photographers to cover this event to get a different picture from different position and to standby the photographers at different location as well.
