I was back to the basics with my Canon XT since I had to take in my 50D for repairs, but nonetheless, I made the best of using my 70-200mm for the fashion shoot at the Fall Fashion Event at the Ala Moana Center. I've seen many fashion magazines and have wanted to reproduce those cool runway shots and this was the perfect opportunity. I found my spot for the Ryota Shiga's Fall Runway Show about 35 mins before the show. Then as the show time came closer, a swarm of other photographers showed up, all w/ better gear than me. I was in total equipment envy mode with my little XT.
The runway wasn't too long, and at the end of the runway, the sunlight was really strong and it left undesirable shadows on the model's faces. Other spots on the runway had a red reflection that I ended up having to remove using photoshop. I ended up finding the lighting the best at the edge of the stage.
The models were wearing some fierce heels that I had to take a shot of.
Soon enough, after about 25 mins, it was all over...Fashion shoots are sure fast and furious..I was just getting in the groove of the fast pace!
The designer ran out onto the stage, I took one shot and then he was gone in a blink.
After the show, there was a Hope for Japan T-shirt designs made by students of Honolulu Community College. There were regular looking Tees...
Then there were cutout Tees.
On some designs, it was more intricately designed in the back than in the front of the tee..

GREAT JOB Shun Wah. I hope the "better-geared" photographers didn't elbow you out of your spot. That woulda riled me up good. Looking forward to Part 2!
You still got some great shots even if you might have been under equipped.
Great shots of the models! The shoes are so cool and look so uncomfortable. LOL! Great shooting with your backup XT.
