Corner Images: My First Nikon Event

I AM NIKON --- It was the month of June, 2012 when I attended my very first (and only) Nikon event. That was only a few months after I bought my first DSLR, a Nikon D3100. And so, like a child excited with his first toy, I, with some of my work colleague, rushed to the event location to check what this photoshooting event was all about. It was held in Taman DR, Ipoh by the way.

Prior to this, we had to register online if we want to attend so we can grab souvenir items such as shirts and car stickers from the said event. I think only Nikon Club Mal could do such a favor to their members. I checked once the Nikon Club Phil and they are collecting fees from members if they want to attend such events. Well, I guess NCM is more generous as they have bigger number of members that patronize their products.

Ok, there were five models to shoot at - with their own antics and colorful dresses to make it livelier.

At first, I was a bit hesitant to get my toy out of the camera bag when I saw those long and big lenses most of the photographers have. I was completely overwhelmed!

Nevertheless, I took my entry-level camera and start shooting as if I really know what I was doing. After a few shots, I checked my LCD to view my initial shots. OMG! They were either overexposed - maybe due to strong sunlight, or out of focus and blurred - maybe due to my shaky hands. With the help of some "pro", and with the borrowed lens from a friend - I only had a kitlens that time, I start shooting again hoping to get better shots. Whew!!!
