Cheerleaders Posing for Motoshow Calendar, September 2007
Not my cup of tea, but I was asked so nicely I couldn't refuse

Event - Motoshow 2007. Somehow I ended up shooting the cheerleaders hired to perform at the event for an upcoming promotional calendar. Posing certainly isn't my forte, but then again one should always try to improve what he's not that good at.
Photography - All I had with me was the Sigma 30mm F1.4. Hence some of the shots are quite tight. Had to juggle between trying to keep attentants out of the frame, girls inside the frame and the one circular reflector I had with me at least somewhat lighting the scene. It certainly wasn't easy. Also I'm getting royally fed up with the inaccurate focusing of the 350D at wide (F2.8 and wider) apertures. I have to take at least 3-4 shots from each frame and hopefully one will actually nail the focus. Oh well, I get what I pay for. I'm contemplating the Canon 40D, although the Nikon D300 looks mighty tasty on paper. Gotta wait for the decisive reviews though.
