Baby In A Bag

Baby in a backpack
Kuala Lumpur
Leica M-E. Summicron-M 35mm.  f/2.8 1/125 ISO 800

This baby was in front of me on an escalator in a shopping mall, staring at me all the way up.  Once we reached the 2nd floor, I couldn't help but asked his dad to let me take a picture; and he happily obliged  : )

Cover Girls

KLIMS 2010
Kuala Lumpur
Nikon D100. Sigma 18-200mm  f/8 1/25 ISO 200

Chances of pretty models posing for me are extremely rare, for I'm no famous glamour photographer, nor a pro who gets to shoot for Cosmopolitan or Vogue (or any publications at all).

The next best alternative is to bring along my camera to car shows or camera shows.  With a little luck, I could get the chance to make the girls look at my direction... 


Glamour shooters
Kuala Lumpur
Nikon D100. Sigma 18-200mm  f/5.6 1/40 ISO 250

...or maybe not  ^_~



KLPF 2011
Kuala Lumpur
Nikon D100. Sigma 18-200mm  f/4.5 1/10 ISO 320

These models won't give me more then 2 seconds of attention, for the fact that I did not pay their fees, and there are usually at least another 100 cameras firing furiously beside me...



Bike Show
Kuala Lumpur
Nikon D100. Sigma 18-200mm  f/4.5 1/60 ISO 400

You can imagine the tension - frame the picture, check the camera settings, wait for the 'right moment' ("hey look this way!!"), avoiding dropping the camera from the pushing from the rest of the 100 excited cameramen - all in 1 second, or less.  That's why most of my photos are crappy, as you can see here... 



Ego Shooter
Kuala Lumpur
Nikon D100. Sigma 18-200mm  f/5.6 1/30 ISO 640

Some serious dudes came with determination, and were prepared to "shoot to kill".


Perhaps I should be more prepared for my next outing too :)

p/s. No, that's not me!
