It was a scary experience using my novice dSLR skills to cover such an important event as the OFFICIAL PHOTOGRAPHER. Gosh, a heavy task indeed. What to do, there were only 2 other folks with dSLR available for the event, and there were about 900 diners to be covered. So... had to shy shy use my skills la.
Some test shots taken during the rehearsal...
Nice bouquet adorning the VIP table.
Musicians fine-tuning their sounds.
The real scary part was... I had never used one of those big dSLR flash before! It was a relief that we had Tommy, a professional photographer to guide us. The sifu said without those big flash we could not survive the big hall. So... we had one hour of Crash Course on Big Flash Photography before shooting the real thing. The sifu transplanted a Nikon flash onto my Pentax body... and it was so heavy that my camera toppled over all the time.And now for some dinner photos...
Ushers in the welcoming line-up.
The sifu took care of the video, and delegated the photography part to two newbies.
Thank you for coming.
The UMS students who came. Young and vibrant lot.
Dance with masks. The reasoning was... if you made a wrong dance move, nobody would know who you were coz they couldn't see the face.
A song from the first family.
A talented family of musicians. Mom was singing "You raise me up" made famous by Josh Groban.
Wind and strings band from one of the schools in KK.
Little friends.
Patrick Leong from KL. His voice could melt you.
A thanksgiving song from the organising committee.
Good night and thank you once again for coming.Of course I showed you the nicer photos la... those crappy ones too malu to show. Using the big flash was already challenging, plus using full Manual mode, and the big hall... need lots of practice.
One uncle came up to me today and said 'I like your photos la'. It made my day.
