Bro scandisk, thanks for sharing. I was like wondering why so few posting when I saw so many photogs there. I was there very late, only able to catch only the later part of the fabulous show. And I brought the wrong lens, far too long so that when the models walked pass me at less than 1m away, I just couldn't shoot. And my flash bty was like almost flat towards the end. Will post a few shots later.

BTW, some of your shots looks to me a bit desaturated leh. ? ?

Have not been commenting for long while, some ppl here know who I am.

Few things really need to improvement.

1) WB - too flat, need to be more saturation
2) Background exposure very dark- I guess you are using D70...ISO to at least 400 - 500 for indoor shoot like this.
3) Lighting - flash too harsh..... I guess it is direct flash, try to position your flash upward.

One thing I discover when I read the Exif data of your shots, you are using Manual mode.

Use Aperture Priority so that your flash can iTTL.......btw it is the easiest way.
Frankly, after running thru all your current and past postings if you don't change your style and modes of shooting, you pics will always be "average". Just my 2 cents. Cheers! [IMG]http://www.*******.com/forums/images/smilies/happy0180.gif[/IMG]
