A Photo Canvas

Twice in a row, twice in 2 weeks was what we did as we went to car shows!!

Me, an aficionado of fast cars, just can't get enough of the exotic cars, not forgetting the chance to snap away on the cars (and show girls of course =p) This time round, the coolest hot machine would have to be the Nissan GTR and the Honda S2000. Oh oh, not forgetting the F1 car on display and the preview of the first underwater car!!

As compared to the previous motor shows, the Singapore Motor Show 08 was quite empty; and spacious, of which I'm quite thankful for as we did not have to squeeze or mingle with the crowd. I would say it was quite nicely planned except the entrance to the exhibition, which was like a maze!!

But yea, poor Nahele was yet again being dragged to another car show by me... Guess she must be experiencing phobia of visiting such events pretty soon! =P Nonetheless, she got another chance to play with my "bulky" camera. Haha... She's addicted!!

Overall, we had another good time together, although she was just following me throughout the day. She even claimed that she looked better than some of the models there! =D

Lights, Cameras, Action!

That's how it all was during Super Import Nights, where I kindly tagged along with Raphel to catch all the action and drama. Action because of the cars performing drifts, drama because of all the 'wolves' chasing after the models and shoving their way around you that even though you are a girl, they do not care if you were bumped away like a pinball because of their inconsiderate ways. Men...

But heck, I decided to try and enjoy the event more, by admiring the cars, finally getting to see the models in person after seeing them on screen for so long and trying to encourage Raphel to squeeze in a place as decently as possible in order to get a shot at the models.

Here are some of his pictures:

And one of mine:


Which is when I realise something: I like Lamborghinis! Most of my pictures were actually of Lamborghinis, with my favourite of the lot being the sleek black matt one! =D

While I tried to escape from the pack of 'wolves' as much as I can, it's ironic that I constantly try to encourage Raphel to squeeze into the pack in order to take a picture of them, despite seeing how he abhors the craziness of all the shoving and pushing.


For that, he was rewarded with at least a fairly decent picture of the USA import models, while escaping pretty quickly after which from the ever crazy crowd. We decided to give the Thai models a miss because of the sheer mass of people following them. One could say that I was irritated, because I believed a self respecting person shouldn’t be that brash and rude even if you wanted to take pictures. Besides, can’t everyone take turns??

Anyway, here are some pictures of the local models:


That's of course not forgetting some screen time for me too!! That's when I turned 'pro' for a very short while =D



But while I'm still making up my mind on whether or not to get a DSLR, the fact is that I do not mind spending time with Raphel at such car shows. He may be running around, paying more attention to the cars, taking more pictures of the models than me, but I still enjoy being by his side, just like how it was when he went for the photoshoot.

Besides, if I really got bored, I'll always find time to disturb Raphel!! =P
