The yellowish on some photos are too high, overexposed maybe. some of the composition is good, but still can improve...

the KLCC exposures are great, only the composition can do better..

have to fiddle around with the White-Balance for the model shots. haha. tau kata only, myself also didn't play around with it.

slightly grainy on some of them, and needs more bokeh!!

Thanks a bunch for your tips. I'm truly appreciative. I will take note of your comments.

anyway, here are more pictures from my other trip.

these were taken from P&S camera. the earlier shots were using Prosumer camera.

prosumer user only leh. i find that it's harder to get nice bokeh from prosumer.

Girl shooting fashion shows DO make a difference! It's very unique, putting aside the weakness of a compact digicam dun you guys think so? I particularly love those 3 pics : The one she shot from the top where you can see 2 models going down the runway, sense of motion is there. The one on the male model, you can see a drooler on the background, haha! Lastly you have a sharp shot of the audience looking intently while a model goes down the runway in a motion-packed image.

The shots of KLCC taken by a compact digicam is some of the BEST I've seen so far, again, putting aside the weakness of a compact digicam, still can work on the composition but the exposure and the effort is there.

GUYS GUYS GUYS ... the girls are catching up!! Wake up wake up!!

The color of trees are so warm, yellowish they say .. mata sakit-oh!

wow...! nice series of the landscape. i'm a big fan of landscape photography, and u're 'seeing' it..good composition, wise selection of subjects and well balanced colours... thumbs up!

Taiping lake garden .... got alot land buaya there hahaha
i like the 1st pic , but all look very yellowish and 4th for me
bit messy

keep it up, practise make perfect

Yeah, Taiping Lake Garden, not a bad place for photography.

that side is a famous wedding photo place lah.

LOLz

Nice photos! I wish I could go places and take more photos! Maybe when I go on holidays lah. which is once in a blue moon.

Thanks for your feedbacks & tips

Anyway, the KLCC & fashion show shots were snapped using Fuji S7000 and

the Taiping shots were snapped using Olympus C2-Zoom.

Hmm, composition wise, i think you're getting there.. rapid improvement. about the WB setting, there's other who can explain on that.. but I see major improvement.. keep it up!

Thanks for the encouragement. Yeah, i agree the WB setting was off. I am still getting familiarize with my camera.

Hey, anyway i have seen some of your works ... wow ... most are amazing shots from landscape to objects. I like best was the water drops .... those are fantastics ! It is always my dream to create shots like that.

u can always do that whenever u have time and a bit of imagination.. think ahead of what u want to shoot, and what kind of images u want to produce, and shoot times and times again.. with a bit of luck, u might get what u want..

Hi there, I am back again with another collection of pictures from Mid Valley fashion show taken in early May-07. Sorry to keep you waiting as I was busy with my schedules and had no time to upload these pictures. Feel free to give feedback on my work. As mentioned before I'm still a newbie to photography, therefore needs pointers.

So far this was my 2nd fashion show outing. I'm still exploring my prosumer camera Fuji S7000. As advised by many pros, I'm trying to capture my pictures as close as what I see in real life, especially the models skin colour tone. Btw, I'm still trying to get bokeh shots.

As you can see, the emphasis of my work were to capture moments of the event and varieties of models poses, creatively and in different angles of the setting. The objective is to create a fashion show mood to viewers.

So tell me how you feel after viewing my pictures, whether you felt the mood or not?

Good compoistion on the fashion show.....

But a bit noisy on some shots, boosting ISO too much?

Yes.. ur objective matches the pictures.. u want to show the mood, or to say the view from ppl walking around and the atmosphere of a fashion show, and i can see that.. u showed the connection between the models and the spectators as it explains the intensity of the event.. good job..

I realized fashion/model shots walking around is difficult as i found some difficulty during ysday Metroplitian college cover girl search. For somehow who using a prosumer to capture such pics is simply skillful. Good work!

nice compositions. now all you need to do is play around with the settings more because it'll be a waste if good compositions are spoiled by not-so-good colors.

some are a bit dim, others may be a bit yellowish. some are blurry (off focus), some lack subject.

generally, your creativity / ideas in your composition make the fashion show look more interesting.

I completely agree, i could never capture something like that with my prosumer, i love the fashion shots , you have very different perspective so your fashion shots are different than others, and also, it's nice to see a woman representative around !!

Thanks for your feedbacks, I'm truly appreciative. At least, now I know that I'm heading to the right pathway. I'm still working on shots with bokeh effects and still familiarizing the shutter function.

Cityfish and Goldfries, I would appreciate if you can pin-point to me on which shots are you referring to. It will be helpful for me to improve in my shots. Btw, the ISO setting was at 400.

Let me know, thanks.

because you didn't put number or any reference on your pic....

not necessarily, comment were given - all you have to is to identify them.

look at your photos. some are more yellow compared to others. some are dim compared to others. some are blur / lack subject compared to others.

hafta agree with the rest here. composition is great but wb and sharpness is lacking, mostly because of the limitations of a prosumer.

nice job

another female photographer.
I can see your WB have improved.
Soon i think you will find P&S camera no longer satisfy you.

Yes, thank you so much for the feedbacks. I'm always very appreciative.

honestly, i was kinda bored seeing shots in LYN regarding fashion shows. IMO, all the same.

however, u bring out the different elements in a fashion show. part of a model's leg, a swinging accesory (handbag/ hand carried shoes) adn all that.

nice. thumbs up to u!

i think i'm a little late here, but i love the taiping shots, especially the lake one!

kat, you got sifu teach you wan ah?

Yes, lah. The sifu taught me the basics. The rest is my own creativity.

Anyway, below are some close range shots. I'm trying to add varieties to my work and still practising bokeh shots with my prosumer. As usual feel free to comment.
