D70 + Tokina 28 - 80 f2.6 + TC1.4 + SB 800.
Did not bring my Nikon 80 - 200 f2.8. Very hard to get good angle and close up. There were too many other fellow photographers and crowd.

yes i afree with alex.... looks good .... the photo's i've seen at fashion shows showing the photogs jammed together like sardines.... is it really dog eat dog ...or if you've got a longer lens you can away from them ?

cheers rob

Great capture of the moment however I'm curious to know why you shot this as a landscape? I'd crop the sides as there is far too much wasted and distracting space on either side of your subject. And correct me if I'm wrong - Is that a foldback speaker in the bottom right of the image?

Hi Hutchy,

I was using a Tokina 28 - 80. I did not have any longer lens with me. I had no choice but to make the best of the situation. With the stage so far away from me, with a TC1.4 attached, zoomed to 80, i still get the foldback speaker. I simply could not get any closer. Worst, the good spots were already taken up. Lighting was bad on the catwalk as the organiser had unwisely chose to put coloured disco spot lights which play havoc on the white balance. I had chosen to shoot at the entrace where the models appear as natural light from the glass rooftop provide good lighting. Due to the distance, i can only use my flash to fill shadows. Unfortunately, you also get the model's shadow in the background.

regards,

Arthur
