MAS 18th Biennial Athletics Meet 8-9 Sept 2007
|
|
it was just a normal visit to the electrical workshop when an old friend of mine, Mursyidul, asked me whether if its ok if he offer me a job as a photographer to cover the biennial malaysia airlines athletics meet in kelana jaya on the 8th and 9th september....
honestly, i have no guts to cover such a big event alone....with just minimal equipment....no i wasnt ready honestly......to cover such big sporting event, i need at least super fast telephoto lens to capture the action of the athletes.....
so, when mursyidul, a friend and also one of the committee member offered me the job, i told him that go and try to find someone else first,then kalao takde baru cari i 
so, of course Mursyidul went to find this mamat, who is really a professional photographer complete with a telephoto lens, ala lens yg panjang tu yg biasa org pakai for tangkap gambar sukan....haaaa...yes, mamat ni equipment dia lengkap...
but, since mamat ni a pro, of course la mamat ni demand sket lah....so he asked for payment lah to get the job done  ... i agree with him coz he spent thousands of ringgit on his equipment alone...
tapi senang cerita dia demand tinggi la yg kelab sukan mas tak mampu la nak bagi...
so,as for me, being a beginner, tak le demand tinggi2....cukup la kalao kelab sukan mas provide me with makan minum, accommodation and tshirt free 2 helai for this 2 day event....hehehe...
so yes, me and azlan, another beginner got the job lah to cover the whole event....
and these are some of the shots captured during the event.....overall...yes, i m quite happy with the results provided this is my first time covering a major sporting event....though i would prefer to be one of the athletes competing in the 400m....tapi now badan dah berat...so jadi photographer je lah
since i was assigned by the kelab sukan mas, so all of these photos become theirs lah.... 
so i saw a few of them being displayed in the pulse (an e magazine published for mas staff around the world to get to know what are their counterpart in other stations are doing).....
best lah...my photos tuuuuu...published in the pulse.....
but yg tak best nye....all of the photos published in the e magazine semua nya gambar yg tak best.....sabar je lah...
u know lah...gambar2 all the big bosses tgh get ready utk their event....pehhh...
yg doesnt require me to use my skill to compose....gambar2 tu yg derang publishkat itu e magazine????....saba je lahhhhhh......aku punya la penat...sunburned badan aku nak amik gambar2 athlete tgh berlari semua.....last2 itu editor amik gambar bos bos aje...yg aku tak yah la berjemur kat track nak amik shot terbaik...sabar je lah....
penat aku....
ps- ahh lupa....on the final day, Mursyidul told me that Kelab Sukan Mas would pay an allowance of rm25 perday....so kaya la aku dengan itu rm50 for the 2 day event....hahahaa...berbaloi ka? what do u think???
