Fashion Show at Bugis

mpenza · 26th March 2003

wow, fashion show with a difference....

pics look a tad soft though. have you applied USM after scanning?

Zerstorer · 26th March 2003

Darn..when was this held?

Wolfgang · 26th March 2003

My word... nice... very nice indeed.

Knowing the constraints and the and existing background/crowds, i would say that these 2 shots look great.

Only nit is the exposure which looks a wee bit under but overall, i like the background and the bokeh that was achieved.

Keep shooting!

Zerstorer · 26th March 2003

Ok....quibbles.

These 2 shots scream for fill-flash.

Or was the high contrast in the first shot deliberate?

Wolfgang · 26th March 2003

Mpenza... i agree it looks soft, but yet, it does someone complement the shots, in this case, don't you think?

I reckon the softness gives it a subtle touch to the picture...

The originals are probably sharper than they appear here...... believe Nikon F100 was used.

hmm... good then

Could still shoot next weekend. Would you be going for Jurong Point's show? Think they're held over the next 2 weekends as well, 1 pm, 4 pm and 6 pm (no 1 pm for Saturday show).

No more bugis? This place is good especially the first show because of the light. I was shooting at 1/1000.

But the light was top down due to the glass roof right?

U used spot metering? Or Multi?

maddog · 27th March 2003

my shots were taken on Kodak Ektrachrome ISO 1600. So they were extremely noisy.. i mean grainy. Used Neat Image on them which explains the softness. And I don't own a flash(yet).

Zerstorer · 27th March 2003

Is it due to the scan? Or the metering? The shots look a touch underexposed to me.

For the first shot, perhaps if you spot metered the face you would have gotten a high-key background which might have certain artistic effect.

Yeah. Only light was top down sunlight. No spotlights at all. I used a mix of spot and center-weighted metering.

Aye.

Anyway... are these shots very heavily cropped?

Misfired!

Well, nonetheless, save for the fact that it looks a tad under.. it's actually quite pleasing on the eye...

1st shot uncropped. 2nd shot cropped by a third to remove an underexposed(lighting not clothes) model.
