Photo Week at Maju Junction

Jun 17th, 2008 by Neo

Please subscribe to my feed.

Last week I had such a good weekend because I totally enjoyed myself with lots of shutter clicks! I lost count of how many photos I took but a rough estimate would be in the hundreds and this I believe was normal because the other photographers who joined the Photo Week was seen clicking non stop too! In fact they were much more hungry then me, firing non stop like a machine gun!

Closeup portrait

I was a little late as Maju Junction isn’t my normal territory, so I made a couple of wrong turns before I finally got there. The fashion and model show had already started. What to do, I had to squeeze in and shot between heads. There were heads everywhere.

Malay traditional costume

OK, probably you are not interested in men’s fashion show. Even his professional silat stance doesn’t interest you? No worries, I have this sweet young Malay girl with her colorful Malay traditional costume.

Malay woman

Trust me, flashes were every where now… shoot shoot shoot. Some photographers were standing on ladders and some were on chairs.

The photo above is much better? No? How about this sweet young thing?

Sweet Young Thing

Obviously, she isn’t a model yet as she was quite nervous on the stage. She didn’t really know where to put her hands, show her face, show her confidence in herself… but nevertheless we gladly supported her by shooting non stop still. Anyway, her courage to go onto the stage in front of so many photographers was much appreciated.

Let me show you one portrait shot which I took after the fashion show.

Beautiful Malay girl

Don’t you love her big eyes and long eye lashes?

This photo was taken in a Nikon Creative Lighting System setup, the same one in which I took the pictures of Niza and Nini.

Wanna see more photos and perhaps Ted Adnan in action? Stay tuned next!

a bit too much hue? watch the skin tone.. no skin colour - all the humans look pale..

but nice photos and angles though! esp love the last one - very classic. maybe it’ll work on sepia effect better. great work, neo!!

For me, the photo are over expose..i think because your are late and did not get a better angle. How come you lost? .I am not sure whether it is due to the lighting system or what. All the photo got shadow and the composition a bit unbalance. Is the First and last photo shot at the same location?Ermm…i just wonder your taste …hahahhaha……Joking only bro.

Neo,
What focal length did you use for 1st photo?

I thought the 3rd photo was well-framed.

ehon,
I applied cooling photo filter to counter the warm colors. Too much ah?

lucia,
I will show you some male models next. Stay tuned!

abeku,
Must have shadows mah, no shadow then will look flat.

Jeff,
Sure, more photos to come.

wuching,
I emailed so many to you, still not enough?

Khengsiong,
Focal length was 52mm. I stood near and I cropped the photo. Next time I use a macro lens and shoot her eyes only. Or maybe the lips?

Raymond Chan,
Some people shoot me ler, say all my photos are not nicely composed.

Che-Cheh,
No, Photo Week ended last week. A 3-days event.
