Another late post, though this time I uploaded my pictures earlier in my Flickr. There was this event in Sunway Pyramid (25 July 2008) in which had a bunch of activities like basketball, footsal or something and a beauty contest by Hypertune. My initial intention was to take pictures of the Hypertune contest but since I was there early there was some dance competition..why not take pictures right?

It wasn’t a breakdance competition but somehow the trend today is more to hiphop and breakdance …a little combination of both..not too sure what was happening but here are some pictures to enlighten you. I hope…

Some gal’s from Johor with some mascot.

one of the competitor

As usual…I spot with my eyes..nice looking ladies

then later there was some sort of battle/challenge between groups..

they call this scorpion i think

then Hypertune chicks/models were there…

finally the contest started…LATE!

Felicia

A familiar face…from Henessy Artistry as well

Pei Pei

Elaine (if not wrong)

and lastly..all the contestants

Another long delayed post…I was given a chance to be one of the photographers for Hennessy Artistry which happen in Mount Kiara Indoor Arena on the 19th July. Was a good experience as it was my 1st and so far only event that I was a proper acknowledge photographer..with a tag. Other times I’m just…an intruder..haha. I think so…I feel so cos most of the time I’m intruding someone’s privacy…but hey I love natural actions. Giving me a peace sign or smiling at the camera isn’t nice..to me.

Like all events, especially big ones..the girls..are ofcourse mighty fine…

Pei Pei

Janice & Melody

And of course, with events like these..famous people or celebrities would be there too.

Vanessa Chong?

Pop Shuvit

Levy Li Su Lin

Serena C

Flown in VIP for the event..

DJ Latin Prince

Flo Rida

Hot stuff DJ!

Would really like to know her name, anyone?tell me..owe her big time…and if you’re reading my blog..thanks again for keeping my flash.

people were definately enjoying themselves inside…

with cheeky bar tenders…

and they served lots of ….

but at the end…when walking out of the place…they gave nature’s best drink

time to wash away the headache…

There was a drift competition during the Cheer 2008 (12-13 July 2008), took some pictures of the action. Wasn’t there for the full event though. Enjoy…

My favorite shot sequence…
the best part of any motor sport to me is the accidents..and yea…I’m glad i manage to catch this one.

Then on the second day I was enlighten with something new…panning shots…so yea..this was the outcome. Too bad it was raining that day couldn’t really have nice shots but I guess this pics are almost up to standard.

This is the last part of Cheer 2008, sorry for the delay I know I’ve been a lazy bum and never thought that it would take me almost forever to just review pictures and frame them up. Lesson learned, snapping like there’s no tommorow brings pain when reviewing.

Sad to say the second day wasn’t really my day as there were flocks or swarms or schools or er…watever tons of photographers hogging up the area around the er..center stage?arena? So yea..what I’m trying to say is that because of my small size and my not so thick skin I wasn’t able to get a good spot to get pictures at the best angle.

What I have to say is that it was really an energetic day for most of the cheerleaders and the crowd was superb, not only supportive but you could feel the energy coming from them as they were cheering. It was a good sight to see good sportsmanship as there were no ‘boos’ or any sort of mocking.

If not wrong his name is Micheal or something..one of the judge.

the other judge..whos suppose to be the mean one, the Simon of cheer leader or Paul if you’re into malaysian idol

Miss Deborah (Miss Malaysia World 2007) was there too as well as one of the judges

Jien…host of the event.

Very happy girls…

Some where during mid day one of the judges which I’m not sure how to spell his name was dancing along to YMCA (the song), and suprisingly the whole crowd got up and followed dancing…

Cheerleader in the making, early exposure is good

Some fans are abit teritorial…I guess

I see with my eye…another pretty girl..from Sri KDU, anyone know her?

Cheerleading is for all…size isn’t a factor

BEHIND THE SCENES

Welcome to the photogs crew…but you don’t have to look all serious

Rule 1. always put on make up before and after your cheer. You will never know if a hunk is sniping you.

HA HA! Caught by suprise…

Yeaps, thats me!

Last but not least…Adam from Akademi Fantasia (it’s not spelled in english) was the guest artist.

So last week we were “celebrating” the last day with one of our trainer at Madam Kwan KLCC. I was told to bring my camera along..and guess what I spotted

Actually…didn’t really notice her at first..till I put on my zoom lens…my colleagues and me find her pretty and with the light shining down on her face..its almost…er..angelic.

Sniping is fun…! maybe I should start bringing my camera around where ever I go. Then again..it’s too inconvenient.

So I was waiting for a friend the other day and notice there some flowers at the side of the road. Never really took much pictures of flowers, actually never did take any pictures of any flower. Canon has this picture style thing which is really nice. I use the “clear” picture style for the following pictures and they give a really vivid color to the flowers. I personally love the color, some may say its too vivid, but hey…its flowers..isn’t it suppose to strike out its colors? And who says kit lens suck? I don’t see any problems with these pictures…do you? lens use for the following pictures: Canon EF-S 18-55mm

I’m starting to love taking candids, they reveal so much more er..emotion?meaning?not too sure what’s the right word, but I feel a stronger message in it. Here’s 2 shots that I find not too bad.

A lil girl eating

I reckon black and white makes the picture more attractive, or at least thats how I feel.

Went to Bukit Jalil today..or yesterday to be exact for Cheer 2008, it was quite an eye opener to see soooo many GUYS! as in ALL guys team. WoW..are they gay?or has the image of cheerleaders change in schools these days? I mean if you are a cheerleader in a all guys school…hmmm won’t you be like the laughing stock of the whole class or something? I mean..in guys school its all about the macho-ism and manly actions and the pride and ego..and etc. Oh well it good though to see the sport growing.

I usually do not edit my pictures, but these has been slightly touched up. No cropping or anything but just color/contrast adjustments as I do not have a flash gun and the shoots were a lil dark. Plus it was indoors so not much help from Mr Sun.

Check out what is she reading…must be real bored or just can’t wait to get married..haha..shes quite pretty though. I think la…I know a lot would disagree with my taste for girls.

Lunch TIME!

seems like is going through her mind

BOY power…*sings* so here we are…the power puff boys…

more food!~

why is she pouting?oh yea..she has something in her mouth.

I like this shot..not sure why

Funny how this dynamite looks like it has a cigarette on its head

Looking all excited eh bro?

action speak louder then words..you tell me what’s on your mind

YEA!~

Say a little prayer for you…

That’s a sweet smile

last but not least…

Sweetest looking girl I’ve seen on that day…anyone know her?

Will be snapping more pics today at the finals later..it’s like 5.15am and I’m not asleep. Wonder how am I gonna wake up. More pictures are on my Flickr.

This post is a lil late, as I lost my mood to even look at my pictures. They didn’t turn out near “ok” standards..but here it is anyways, Lookout Point Take 1. Will be going back there again for better shots. Or maybe will keep going till I get what I want. Oh yea this outing was last Saturday (5th July 2008)

So I was there with a bunch of photogs, but more accurately I was there with Valiant early. Surprisingly theres quite a variety of food there. We then sat at gasoline…waiting for the sun to set and for the others from facebook to arrive.

This is one of those earlier shots I took. Figured I try to use the trees as framing..some sort. Nice ar?

Sun almost setting already.

here’s how the place look like, roughly. Pretty pleasant environment if you ask me. If it was only a lil less noisy it would be a good place to bring you love ones for a date.

Sun finally sets..I was a little late…only manage to get this shot. Plus really cloudy weather so couldn’t have a decent picture.

It may not be the perfect sharp picture..but i love the tone of the sky

Sharpest picture I have..but not quite up to standard.

My one and only attempt to do this …quite ok la…not tat bad rite?hah…also battery died early that day..most shots were done with Valiant’s battery. Thanks man.

So 2 days back I was driving to work,  a car pass by me and took my attention…check out its front wheels man. Don’t really spot anything?

Here’s a close up…SEE how close the tyre is to the er..whachamecallit…body thingy. Not only that but if it wasn’t moving and cutting lanes that fast the tires are not entirely straight at all..its like tilted 95 degrees or something..how on earth does one with a right mind wan to make their car that way? Whats the logic behind it? Faster?better traction? I’m no car expert but isn’t that bad for the tires?

It’s fun to see what people have done to their cars on the road..very entertaining especially when you are stuck in a jam.
