On my recent home trip, i had the opportunity to attend
Studio 23's highly anticipated inaugural Dinner & Dance held at the newly opened Borneo Convention Centre in Kuching on the 14th, September to snap some pictures. It was a glam & glitz fun-filled event with plenty of stellar showcase of dance performances namely Belly Dance, Jazz & Flamenco among the popular few, by the instructor-student community of the studio itself. Just a day before, i made a timely acquisition of a much sought after lens, a 2nd had unit of the Tamron SP AF90mm Di lens from my
good colleague, which i've subjected to heavy use during the event; despite being unfamiliar using the new addition & having to move about constantly to get good composition adjustment,
*since it's a fixed-focal length lens, i'm very suprised by how well the shots turned out to be ~ very sharp & crisp, though for most instances due to the dimmed lighting during performances, i had to boost the ISO settings to max of 1600
*very noisy already for 450D* just maintain a high enough shutter speed *above 1/100 to reduce handshake*. Nevermind that i wasn't able to use my external speedlite i brought along coz my Eneloop batteries shipment is still on the way from Shashinki, as i type this -_-
*my Sunpak P42Zx Speedlite is still a virgin!*By staying on the larger aperture setting of the SP90 *shot mostly between f/2.8 - f/3.5 setting*, i was able the capture the creative ambient lighting of the stage while maintaining sufficient shutter speed to capture the on-stage actions.
*i dig the ambient lighting!* =)
Here are some alternative shots from that night:
The stage shot photos can be found in
my FB. Do enjoy!
Also had the priviledge to cover the event together with a few seasoned photographers namely
Jaysen,
Frankie & Phillip from Philart *
i hope i got your name correct* Looking forward to see your shots, guys! =)
*It was unfortunate that Frankie had to leave early due to an emergency. I hope your mom is resting & recovering well =)
