Marlene… we always stand damn near to shoot til we like part of the modelling too…hahhaha :mrgreen: other point of view is…we using Zoom lens for shooting so that invited guess may not get in view of disturbing. :mrgreen: moreover no worries, Photographer will all know their best move at shooting …only thing is tell the photographer what picture result & effect you looking after, that’s may help at better result even !

just my 1 cent of personal opinion !

tilting LCD live view = \m/

hey guys thanks! you are all invited pls pls pls send me a msg with ur name so i can prepare name tag for you (for the fashion show)…reason is if you don’t have the tag, most propably you wont be able to stand near the stage plus i might be making a booth in front of the stage whr photographers can stand on top n shoot right in front when the models pose at the end of the stage. haha of cos its good u guys got good zooming lens but if u hav tag u look like pro especially for the event…glamour ma…tats part of the plan haha chuckle if you don’t put in ur name, i wil probably use ur MC.net nick…which definitely gonna look cute on the tag hahahaha…would u guys prefer that? mayb wit a designation that u guys r from MC.net! haha
Oh ya forgot to ask…wen u say you’re in, means both of the event or???
thanks!!!

Hi Marlene, pm u twice by mistake :lol: . see details there. thanks.

Hmm
One question here.
This is a volunteery job right?
I don’t know if I could join or not.I might be outstation by that time.

i want to help…but,i dont own a DSLR…i am afraid i’am not qualify enough…

i want to help as well…oh sorry i only own a disposable camera

lol

Well, I just want to chip in about having the access to stand near the stage. Sure, shooting with your zooms will be more than sufficient, especially with the 70-200mm f/2.8. But getting close will get you some interesting shots, especially with Bridal gowns and perhaps also evening wear.

Sounds like it would be a fun event. Good luck with your search Marlene! There are quite a few photogs here that would be quite qualified for this and have the equipment to handle such an event. Oh, I would suggest that you get the volunteers out there a few hours earlier when all the lighting equipment has been set up. This will give everyone a chance to play with their setting instead of trying to do so when the show starts.


Off topic: Anyone know if it is still possible to buy Polaroid film here in Miri?
