Thanks for the comments guys! ezflip - great photos, thanks for contributing! Very impressive you did not use flash with your contest shots, good steady hands especially since you were shooting at long range, up in the balcony! Also very glad to see you and Cindy had a great time! Yes, the translation for the Japanese contestant wasn't very good. Might have contributed to her being 1st runner up instead of winning!

@ Rx : Thank you. I'm happy that I had my 18-200mm lens with me. Only spared a second of regret for not having my 80-200 ED F2.8 which would of allowed me to get more closeups. Then again, it weights a ton. The steady hands come from years and years of experience... Cindy enjoyed it so much that she kept imitating the korean winner for next few days, out on the streets, in the hallways, in the bars, in the bedroom...

@ Guy : Funny thing - She called me to tell me that she had placed in the 20th out of 60 odd at a fashion contest yesterday. Not bad at all.

@ Jake : it's the actions/reactions that I always try to capture.
