Fashion And Models 10
Posted by Rahul (Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia) on 2 July 2007 in People & Portrait and Portfolio.
She was one of the contributor/helper in the Super GT at Sepang. I could not resist shooting her, she was kinda cute, and when i asked her for a picture this is what was her reaction to my lens. ;-)
I like the tones and softness in this shot, though it was in mid noon sun.
@Peng Wei Seng: Thanks Bro. :)
Ling from Malaysia
ahhh.....she's a cute gal!
sry for not replying your text message.
It's a modeling competition in Mid Val called Estee Lauder Model Search or something like that. So the finalist will parade themselves all pretty nad beautiful. They blocked up near the stage so you'll need your 70 - 300 lens. :) I only had my W800i with me. Doubt it'll do them justice if i took some pictures. hehe.

@Ling: Thanks Ling, she indeed was sweet gal, most of the models are. LOL!!! In most cases i use my 55-200mm and refrain from using the 70-300mm due to manual focusing as my 70-300mm is the old G-type lens and D40 doesnt drive that. ;-)
You should have told me earlier, i was just next door. :-)

Dude, you are a master at stopping-by-and-shoot! To know that tis is not even a studio work is just simply amazing! Nicely done, brah!

@{H} creatives: Thanks pal, well its fun to stop-and-shoot, i like everything thats challenging in life. Somehow, am not fascinated with the idea of studio photography as everything is perfect there, and u just have to click. No fun. LOL!!!!

@allyy`*: Thanks Alicia, so far i haven't met one, who got irritated, i got kissed rather for taking their picture and thats not a problem to me. LOL!!!!! ;-)
Wendy from Hayward, United States
Beautiful cropping on the top Rahul! I like things that are partially showing, instead of a full blow sometimes =)
Nice smile too!

@Wendy: Thanks pal, the cropping was at bottom, the top was framed that way. I too prefer something partial. ;-)

I like the way you have freezed the frame where she is about to say something to you. Was she telling you her cellfone number too? :P
