Did a portrait shoot with Mico on Sunday morning. I was initially quite worried about the weather the night before as it had been raining for the past few days. When I was packing my camera gear, I realised that I had not been using my Sigma 30mm/f1.4 for quite a while as I could not seem to get the result I wanted when it was mounted on my D300.

We went to the first location and saw the beautiful facade of a Bali-themed restaurant. After taking a few shots, the employee of the restaurant came out and told us that no photography was allowed. "No Photography Allowed" yet again. Think I'm getting used to this phrase now. It was not even their business hour yet but I understand that there was no point arguing. We packed up our stuff and went to the second location.

I wanted to try out High Fashion with the aid of my speedlight but after a while I decided to give up and put my flash away. I couldn't get the effect I wanted. Guess I have to read up more on the techniques required. I popped open my reflector and mounted the 30mm lens on D300. I'm quite satified with the results. Mico was surprisingly good with poses, so we didn't need to guide her much. I really enjoyed this shoot.
