Tamron Futuromic Malaysia Bikini Poolside Model Shoot
A model shoot was organised by the new distributors of Tamron lenses in Malaysia (Futuromic) back in January at the Boulevard Hotel in Mid Valley so I popped along to take some pictures.
It was a pretty crowded event with 4 models and a LOT of photographers. The distributer didn't really have any lenses or accessories for us to try which was a bit disappointing. There was a bit of free food...but I'd already eaten downstairs at Esquire Kitchen!
It was held at Boulevard hotel, Mid Valley, Malaysia on January 31st 2007.
I think this was my first time really shooting models, so it was interesting experience. Bumped into quite a few people I know too.
The funny thing was the girls standing by the buntings were both well known models (Rose Chin and Carace Kwan) but those in the bikinis that we were there to take pictures of weren't the same standard. Anyway I'll let you judge for yourselves!

Shong Lee Photogenic Contest - Part II
For those not interested in the GayPOP saga, here's back to normal programming for a post 
The Shong Lee Contest, a behind the scenes look and the 1st prize winner!
These were taken with a super wide angle zoom at 10mm, who else shoots catwalk with 10mm, just me!
The contestants! There were quite a lot, but most of the pros didn't enter, if not we'd stand no chance, respect to them for that.
Quite a lot of spectators too.
A lot were just there for practise too or to get some more portfolio shots in a stress free situation.
Fighting for space.
Shong Lee Photogenic Catwalk Photography Contest - 1-Utama
This would be part one I guess, seen as though I got less than 10 comments when I use only words it must mean I'm a lousy writer, I better stick to pictures! Hahah.
As I mentioned, I went off to 1-Utama on Saturday afternoon to shoot some catwalk pictures of some lovely young girls holding all the latest cameras. It was a fairly informal contest, you could only enter 1 picture per person, no post processing allowed, you had to print it there on site on one of the provided Canon printers.
The rules were to shoot the girls WITH the cameras, the cam had to be in the shot.
I had a quick triple play and a beer at Chili's then headed down to shoot the contest.
From a photography point of view I think I did ok, pretty well without flash and shooting with a f/2.8 macro lens with no stabiliser 
Compositions could be a little more adventerous, but just need to learn the basics first..
Anyway, enough of that, what you want to see is the GIRLS right?
Well here you go..
