Lotsa prizes!

Congrats miss Bo (1st), Fiona(2nd) and Noemi(3rd). It's just too bad that only one can qualify for the state level

Unduk Ngadau DBKK 2011

The first Unduk Ngadau competition I went this year is the one I've never failed to attend, since 2008. Would love to share the only few photos that I took. According to David Chg(which I saw from his FB), the top three winners are

Winner Rachel (DBKK)
2nd Adeline (Likas)
3rd Kieren (Tanjung Aru)

But the 2010 queen, miss Lydia is still just so pretty in my opinion ;) ..

doing some strobist

Well, it is always great to be able to create great photos especially on portraits. But it is undeniably gives a super edge if multiple external flash is being used. Here are some of my strobist(or is that what it is called?) photos..

On a rainy day, it seems the water gives extra special effects on the strobing process
Here are the 2010 Miss Malaysia Earth, miss Appey Rowena.. stunning in her swimwear
Using two external flash, i decided to give more effects using color gel
Like i said, the water always gives nice effects, otherwise very hard to achieve if not using multiple external flash

Would share some more photos, maybe with the strobing info

Kotobian Tadau Kaamatan 2011

Well, it's May again.. and the best season to look at the prettiest Sabahan natives reveal themselves. The Unduk Ngadau! Everyone in their traditional costumes representing their own heritage and district..

Well, Harvest festival is a big occasion in Sabah, and the Unduk NGadau event is only part of it. There also would be statewide singing competition, or Sugandoi, where all the KDM sang their heart out in their respective language to compete with each other. Other cultural show will also be performed by our Sabahan own talented performers, and is a worthy spending of a time if you go to any place celebrating Kaamatan.

And if you want to be part of the fun, I have a friend who rent her handmade original traditional costume. Check out her collections, and give me a buzz if anyone interested! :)

Korean Cars! Kia.. contact me if ur interested :)

Well what can I say, Korean cars are the in thing nowadays. and when they offer their cars with this interesting offers, wudnt you be interested? Do buzz me for info.. :)

A new Concept of photoshoot

Hey, I've been shying away from posting new entries on my blog. But here I am, with another idea. It's been long since I've done any photoshoots, outdoor especially. So I am thinking of creating new ideas, which I have been planning to do, but cudnt able to do. So I guess if theres any talent interested to participate, do give me a poke..

For some reason, I havent been able to complete my thematic photoshoot from A to Z, which a couple of alphabets still missing, or not done. So I'm thinking of continuing that too..

BTW, Kotobian tadau kaamatan!
