Branch Annual Dinner 2008 on 04-Mac-2008

These photos below are all taken by a Pro Photographer hired by PM for the night, I think he is using a Nikon.
He is using a very good flash diffuser to soften the flash light on top of the camera, you can take a closer look at most of the photos below, you can hardly see a 'hard shadow' behind the people, and there is now much shadow below the cheek either (that means he is not reflecting the flash light to the ceiling).. All skin tone and shadow looks very natural, like under a normal lighting condition, good work... So far I found the Omni-Bounce very useful for this kinda situation..

We should try this somewhere in KK someday...


The day London froze. Inspired by http://www.ImprovEverywhere.com and made a reality by 100's of volunteers. At exactly 3:30pm on a secret cue, almost everyone in the square froze. The few bewildered tourists didn't know what was happening. For 5 minutes the participants held their positions, and then magically everyone unfroze.
