Sony Alpha Photo Contest

So yesterday i attended the Sony Alpha Roadshow which was help at Mid Valley which was showcasing 2 things, the A200 and also the Sony 300mm f2.8 lens (which is a beauty). I'm not turning this site into a tech site or anything but seriously Sony Alpha has really evolved from first releasing the A100, then the A700 (which i am currently using) and now the A200.

And if you're thinking of getting into the world of DSLR, a Sony Alpha A200 ain't a bad one to start with. I didn't take much pictures of the new products up for show (which i should have) but the sole reason i was there was to meet the Alpha Community who were all there to participate in a photo shoot out contest which was waving a lens as the grand prize.

Well obviously i didn't win, but i would like to share some pictures that i took. We were given a few themes where we were only supposed to choose one. I took a few and here they are.

The Theme for this photo was "Children"

The main idea to this photo was to show that there's no better love than your mother's love. and here in the picture you can see the young boy's arm around his mom, symbolizing security, just in case if you were wondering, this was the photo i submitted.

The theme to this photo was "Plants"

Theme to this picture was "Bridges"

And my last picture, the theme to this picture was "Taxi Stand"

And Here's a Group Pic of the Community (Pic Courtesy of SmashPop)

Rynn Lim's First Concert

Last Saturday, right after My Chemical Romance's Press Conference i headed down to the KL Convention Centre to meet up with fellow Alpha Members cause we were all invited by George Wong to shoot Rynn Lim's First Concert using our Sony Alpha Camera. And yes if you were wondering what camera i was using all this while to shoot all the pictures that i've used to post on this blog, its an Alpha A700 which is the latest edition to the Sony DSLR family.

I hardly listen to chinese music, but an opportunity to shoot a concert is definitely something i'll not forgo as i pretty much enjoy taking pictures of concerts. so we have it, Rynn Lim
one thing i like about chinese concerts is that they always have loads of costume changes and lost of backup dancers to complement them. i myself have not been to much chinese concerts, i think i can count all the chinese concerts i've been to with one hand, but all of those i attended were really good.

Ok Back to Rynn. His concert featured 3 guest appearances namely JJ Lin, A-Do and our very own Sheila Majid.

he reminds me of Hiro Nakamura

i can't comment much on the concert because i was mainly there to take pictures. but i'm sure it was good judging from the crowd response. And below is a group photo of the entire Alpha Team who was present that night to shoot the concert. Thanks to Smashpop for the photo.

can you spot me?
