The Fashion Week at the Spring resumes, on the 2nd day. Since they had 7 shows lined up for Day 2, I just had to split Day 2 into two posts. Day 2 features 7 brands, which are:
- G2000
- Ms. Read
- Esprit
- Padini Concept Store (PDI)
- 9 months
- Cutting Edge (Hair Show)
- Elle
#1 G2000
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ ISO800
Since I do not have a wide aperture tele zoom lens, it’s safer for me to shoot at 90mm focal length, as 300mm is prone for hand shake on the camera. However, the angel would not be flattering if I shoot at just 90mm. Hence, I decided to zoom in for change of angle form the previous day.
While playing with the zoom, I tried not to reach to the maximum zoom, where the widest aperture being limited at a smaller number of f/5.6. Most of the shots here are shot at f/5, if not f/4.5. I would have preferred to shoot with a wide aperture lens, such as f/1.8, or even f/2.8 is more than welcomed. Nevertheless, I had to make do with what I have.
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 @ iso800
Another point to take note is, the stage lighting caused strong shadow casting on most of the model’s face. The shadow cast on the eye area, especially, is most unflattering. Given this condition, I kept my flash firing. I had my Flash Exposure Compensation down to -1/3, while having a omnibounce-type diffuser on my flash.

The result? Smooth skin tone. It is quite a pleasant result, really. However, these shots are captured with strong day light in the mix of the available lighting.

EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ iso800
As seen above, the shadow cast on the face isn’t as harsh, as the ones in my previous post.
#2 Ms. Read
Ms. Read features clothing for plus size women.

EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM
#3 Esprit
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ iso800
Esprit was featured earlier in Day 1 during the private function. Most of them featured were repetition of Day 1′s show, only few minor changes in terms of shirts featured, and of course a shuffle of model casts.

#4 PDI
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ iso800
Same goes for PDI’s show, as it was one of the three brands featured in Day 1′s lineup. Most of the wardrobe were featured in Day 1, while feature a couple of different faces among the model casts, if compared to Day 1′s.
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ iso800
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ iso800
The hooded tees reminded me of Jay Chou’s Fantay album. 
I just have to bring this up.
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ iso800
EOS 50D + EF 90-300mm f/4.5-5.6 USM @ iso800
The cap on the model did little help in eliminating the shadow cast on model’s face. At least with the assist of flash, the detail on the face is more visible than the ones without flash.
3 more shows to come for Day 2, which is queued for post 24 hours from this post.
