Nikon Club Walkabout - Tanjung Aru Beach

I joined the Nikon Club walkabout in Kota Kinabalu on the 1st September, where club members get together and have models available to shoot. It is a great way to get to know people, especially as you usually meet people going to the workshop the next day if there is one. The models they had were a bit more experienced than the ones in Tawau, and a few portrait photographers were asking them to pose in certain ways. The main challenge is to get your shot whilst in amongst a large group of people all trying to do the same thing! The session was cut short as the storm clouds rolled in, although as we soon found out the beach didn't get rain but the town certainly did!

 This shot is ok but I needed the speedlight to add a little more light to her face as the scene was backlit.
 Here I did use the speedlight, but it needs less power. :)

 This father and son walked along as I was trying to inch my way in among the other photographers......
 It was hard to get the front spot, but I liked the unevenness of this image.

 This would be better if the horizon was straight, and the sea lower than the head line.
 This is what a typical shoot looks like!
 Just as we thought it was going to rain, this lady was persuaded to pose for us!
The storm!
