Sony Alpha Basic Workshop October 2008

Attended Sony Alpha BASIC Workshop after buying the camera for almost six months. Although about 50% of stuffs I had self-discovered, I still managed to learn a lot today.

They also hired two models for us to shoot at. When the shooting sessions starts, 90% of the people went mad. They grabbed their newly bought camera and started to shoot at those people like hungry wolves trying to feed on cute little lamb. *Please see pictures below*

Sony also said that, we will have to submit one of our best, unedited picture to them to judge. And if we wins, we get to select one of the product from Sony Style. I don't know what is the thing that they are giving out for us to choose from, but, I think it's worth a try. So I tried to squeezed myself through the wolves. However, I failed. These are the best I can get.

Trying to shoot her in depression, but angle problem. (She's actually in pain when she pose until here, I don't know why she is in pain, but she keep on doing it. Very professional spirit!)

This is the one that I sent, unedited. Hope it makes me win something

Edited. Can see the difference ka?

Those pics just now are all zoom-ed. Just look at the crowds. How to shoot?

Those who don't get to go to the front, like this lor~

Me pulak shooting from the back at the photographers

I remembered during the class, a 50-plus-year-old uncle said to another participant: "Eh, you newly buy one ar? What kind of mode you like to use ar? Auto or Manual?"

B answered: "I'm still new, so I used Program mode lor~"

Uncle said proudly and pro-ly: "Oh. I like to shoot using manual"

After the shooting session, the class continues. That uncle asked: "Eh, can I know rite, in just now that session ar, what mode should I use?"

Now, if I had been taught well by my friends, all the pro will choose to use a Manual mode. Wait a minute, I thought that uncle was a pro? Bah, forget it.

Some people can't make their way to the front, they change subject

Some even depressed...
No, I was joking only. He was actually shooting buildings across the street

Now, 90% of the wolvespeople were still shooting at the moment. The 5% are girls, another 5% are guys like me. Cannot get to shoot ma go back sit lo~

I hope it's not a wrong move that I started my Alpha Journey. I just like it.

Quoted from one girl, I can't remember her name. "I don't talk about how much I love photography. I show my photos."
