So a while back I went to Bed to take some pics for a photo contest, it turns out that I won a prize!

I didn't know which place, I was just asked to head along to Loft in Heritage Row (Just opposite Bed funnily enough) to collect my prize last Friday night at 10pm. You can see all the entrants and the three winners pictures here: Star Celeb Photo Contest.

I should of noted the time and perhaps gone at 11.30pm, as it started around 11.45pm in actual fact.

The place was pretty empty when we got there, it got warmed up later on though. The last 10 Star Celeb finalists were there (final 8 and two wildcards), with Kim Ong doing her thing of course.

Then a little later it was my turn to collect my prize, Shutter Asians collected 3rd and 1st prizes! With Siew snatching first.

I won RM300, yay!

Loft got pretty packed by midnight or so, I bumped into quite a few people (vad3r, jack and wussy).

Quite a decent place with some good music, real mix of people too. Not so much youngsters, more mid twenties all the way up to fifties, lot's of not-so-slim-folks too.

Went for some Teochew porridge after that at Jalan Pudu, yummy. Wasn't in the mood to drink that night at all, so strangely sober.

Oh well, here's to winning more contests Perhaps I should start entering some..

A while back I went to some 'Photo Contest' at Bed in Asian Heritage row down in KL - I don't go to KL often....so I had to drag myself down there.

But I was supporting Kim Ong - so it was ok I briefly posted about it just after the event, but with the server crash and some other stuff I've been a bit hectic since then.

We were there to take some pictures of the Star Celeb contestants in a clubbing environment, challenging for both us and the contestants.

There was 3 sections basically - Pose, Groove and Chill being a fixed pose on the stage then 30 seconds of emcee time, then dancing inside the club, then hanging out respectively.

It was pretty tough with odd lighting and extremely low ambient light conditions. Plus it was my first time shooting in a clubbing environment, trying to get the settings right was interesting to say the least.

Kim is very natural on the mic.

So I went to Bed with 60 glamarous young people on Saturday night, lucky me eh? Hardy-hardee-haa indeed.

It was hot, sweaty and tiring indeed.

It was certainly a learning experience, interesting to be Paparazzi style for a night - it's quite challenging in a sea of flash heads and elbows to get a decent angle.

Plus inside the club was smoky, hot, packed and very dark - not ideal conditions for photography!

Was good to meet some of the contestants too.

I'll post more about it soon...not that anyone will comment anyway..

BASTARDS! (That's for both my male and female readers so there's no confusion or shouts of inequality).
