Sabah Fest 2008: Cultural Show (Part 1)

04 May

Hi guys! If you're new here, you should subscribe to my RSS feed. TQ for visiting! :)


sabahfest2008.jpgDid you guys attend the Sabah Fest Cultural Show in Magellan over the weekend? This year, I managed to go, thanks to Fara! :)

This was the first time that I felt like we were one of the press people, as both Amie and I were there taking the VIPs’ photos when they arrived alongside the other photographers, and we were also there near the stage throughout the whole show! Punya syok, I tell you! Now I understand what Louis Pang meant when he talked about the adrenalin rush when taking photos during an event! The excitement is indescribable! ;)

Okaayyy.. obviously I’m still excited from the event (even though it’s been like.. 2 days? LOL)

Now on to the pics time!

    nice photos of the event. just want to focus on one of the specific photo that you edited black and white at the back and color on the people beating the drum. i felt you kill a nice photo with your over touch up and blur effect using photo shop. try maintain the originality of the photos as much as possible when you spotted a nicely shot photo. The best you can do is to do some color correction and leveling with minimal unnecessary effect.
