Singapore Young Fashion Designer Compeition and Asian Young Fashion Designer Contest

[Souphamster]

hi, anyone went? i manage to shot but dunno how to adjust the manual focus, so in the end, use auto. I am using Canon A80, can advise on shooting fashion show lighting? the models walk very fast, difficult to capture.

Case 1:
would like to feedback something here, i was 1hr early(6pm) and i managed to get a better front view to shoot. And 6.55pm, a 40s yo woman came behind me and talked loudly to her frn, i was very irritated, she was just jolly well not interested in the show and she scream on the phone telling her friends to come over to watch in cantonese. Everyone looked at her! i was so malu even standing beside her, she was those typical singaporean who is so LOW CLASS! She continued to yack loudly to her frn talking rubbish and irritating others around her and her bag is pocking my legs which i am sure she didnt notice! Worst part is! she tap my shoulder and tries to go in front of me and ask me if i can allow her frn to stand in front of me because i am tall, and blocking her friend's view! BLOOOOOODY HELL.. I was so pissoff, and i told her i had stand here for 1 hr, u expect me to charity and let u block my view taking photos? she argued back saying that her friend cannot see becos of me! i cant believe there are suchs bitc-h here, disgrace to fellow singaporeans. If you are jolly well interested in watching, book a better view early!

CASE 2:
This old man using canon DSLR came beside me out of no where and tries to block my view regards several attempts. He wants to move to my front! (where i am already in the front!!!! behind the belt!!!!!
I find it so BLOOOOO0DY Rude! i told him off, saying, i need to take photos too ! he stared back, which i dont care!

Conclusion:
I would like to advise all clubsnaps members pls do not let these bloody bird brain people to take advantage of u! Even i am using a A80! i do not care if you are using DSLR or even a lomo. If u want a better view, come early like me, 1hr or eariler. Stand there and wait for the show to start. DONT EXPECT TO JUMP Q and overtake other people's perimeter. It's just not right!

Yeah, some of them are just plain rude sometimes.
Just because they use a DSLR, they think they damn pro.
(like drive a WRX, think their driving skills good).

For all you know, he might be a clubsnapper! :bsmilie:

Went there at 620pm, all the good spots all already gone, only spots left is from the 2nd storey

Nice shots from your A80 except for the shake

 

[Souphamster]

went yesterday, got invite. My shots were horrible... cannot even take front view. I was sitting on the side area, so sad.... cannot take pics...
Anyone have photos to share? btw, any photographers here shot full view of clothings instead of closeup on model face? Can pm me? Anyone kind enough to share his photos with me?

 

[acidbyte]

Here are mine share...had to borrow shoulders to shoot with my lens resting on them. Didn't had a flash or mono/tripod to use..my first fashion shoot with my D70(w/Sigma 70/300).

Relac la. People are just like that. But it seems to me that if you do carry a SLR, these people will avoid you. From experience, cos if they stand beside u, and you are carrying a huge lens and need to turn there and here to shoot, chances are, you will wack them with your lens and they sure find it dangerous.

So maybe, a simplier way is to bring a old, maybe spoiled SLR or whatever and put it on hand while waiting for event to start. Then when start, take out your A80 and wack ....

Sometimes, being an ass or being kuai lan helps in photography.

[Souphamster]

yesterday's show was late... not sure about today will be late anot. Today's show i think will end early, it is just outfits from local fashion schools(including my sch) hee.... hopefully, not so many people... i am sure the models enjoyed the moment when so many flashes clicking at the same time.. feeling like a super model *grin*

 

[acidbyte]

i just got back from the show today.


Update : Photos of the last show can be found by clickin HERE (This time better upgrade, instead of shoulders, i have clear view in the front and using my tripod :bsmilie: ) Today i got slightly more fully model shots instead of my previous one at the top which i posted.

yo Bro...dont use that function for A80 use it only if you have sufficient light.

use the 'high speed mode' it's logo is that Letter H on top of three cascading rectangles. of course set to ISO 400. then try to get a good meter reading, focus and shoot shoot shoot. Set your preview to '2secs' or '0 secs'.

your shots are ok. i think you need time to settle in with your A80 .
and yeah, i too use the A80.

dun have letter H leh???

those icons type cannot change ISO ....

Fast Shutter Speed: maximizes the shutter speed to capture fast moving action. CCD sensitivity cannot be selected, and will increase to allow a faster shutter speed.

Slow Shutter Speed: is intended to capture images showing a flowing movement by forcing a slow shutter speed. Camera sensitivity is here also set to maximize the effect of the slow shutter.

it's not on the dial..

press function...then change the single frame shot icon to the high-speed frame shot. I think it's 2.5 fps...at least it's getting a few frames rather than a single high speed frame. set to aperture 2.8 and ISO400 (i think A80 could set to this ISO for high speed shots, forgot liao, must check manual)

another way is to set the aperture to F2.8 (at Wide) or F4.9 (once you zoom) and shoot according to moment that the model stops to pose...for single frame shots.

it'll take the A80 abt 1-2 secs to focus in low-light conditions.
