As mentioned in my previous posts, I attended the Canon Seminar (so what lah I’m using Sony.. can spy rival’s seminar still mah lol..)

Had to wake up at 6am on a Sunday! So darn early! Reached the Grand Ballroom of STAR around 7.50am, and found that the area was FULL of people!

Pic taken by WC. Sempat lagi Gerry gave a peace sign bah lol!

Food and drinks were served outside for those of us who aren’t fasting

But since WC and I just ate before we reached there, I hardly ate anything. But WC was excited to see chicken wings were being served! Sot! LOL!

Took a few pics with friends..

With Sham and his GF. He even let me tried out his super heavy Sigma 24-70 F2.8 EX DG Macro lens (which I pointed)! And OMG the pics turned out super sharp! Niceeee!

With Zie, Julian, and Massy (and people having lunch in the background)

And Murphy, who sat behind me pula during the seminar (I think.. right?)

Of course had to have a pic with WC!

(apaaaa ni blur pic!)

And OMG! The editor of my fav. photography mag, Philip Chong of Digital Camera Malaysia, was there as well selling his magazines as well! Bought a few of the old copies which I had missed during the beginning of the year! Wheeee!

I just gotta say, during the photoshoot, we were all being pushed and shoved, just like paparazzi! Even my lens cap fell off a few times because some of the other photogs just pushed me to get pics of the models! It was crazy, I tell you!

Especially during this time, when both Nicole and the other model (forgot her name) posed together! All the photogs went crazy!!

Some even asked for them to kiss each other and do seductive poses! WTF!

DSC09965
And the photogs got closer and closer to the models, until this fella’ Henry Chin (thanks Benny for the name!) had to tell them to move back! Lucky for me I had my telephoto lens on; no need for me to get close! Teehee! ;)

During the seminar, photographer and gues speaker Kaz Chua tried out the brand spanking new Canon 50D on Madelyne Nandu and let us all see the quality on the monitor

And printed out the photo straightaway. I like that printer! I want that printer!

See? Life size photo of herself! How cool!


Then, Mandy was supposed to go change to another outfit, but she was stuck outside with all the photogs wanting to take a photo of her as well! And what did I do? I joined in the fun! ;)

WC and I left early, as we had to go to another place after that. But I just gotta say, this seminar was fun! If only I had known about the Sony Alpha seminar (which is to be held next month in KL) that Sham is going, I would’ve registered as well! Cuz in Sony Alpha seminars, there are freebies! But next time lah!

    Yes, those giant printer bring out the lust in all Photographers. I like the lighting setup as well. My own meager studio could use a few massive softboxes.

    Creativity in photography, I think. Instead of taking INFRONT, taking BEHIND much more better (hehe). Apa? Saya gatal? Then I know that I still a PURE masculine man (hehehe).

    By the way, WAhh! Pengarah PSMB (Pembangunan Sumber Manusia Berhad) pun minat photography…

    Hmmm…. smua pegang kamera ribu-ribu lah :)
