Night Gone Wrong

Advertorial

I need a new camera! I'm pretty disappointed with the photos I took the other night at CLEO magazine's 50 Most Eligible Bachelors party at Zirca. Most of the photos came out grainy because of low-light conditions (this is usually the norm when you take photos in the club) and I really wished I had been able to record videos in full high definition. I didn't realize how bad the quality of the video was until I uploaded it online.

When it comes to technology (amongst other things such as your body), size DOES matter. Ladies, leave the heavy-lifting for the gym or lugging your shopping bags and try going out without a bag. Bring a small purse instead. I can never understand chicks who take all their make-up and other knick-knacks (such as a sewing kit?) everywhere they go. Even worse, I find it shameful for a girl to expect a guy to carry her purse for her. It is not cute! When I go out partying, I'd usually take these few items with me: iPhone, digital camera, lipgloss, pressed powder, travel-sized body spray, a credit card & cash. Honestly, that's all you'll really need. If my phone's camera and video function was better, I'd even make do without a digital camera.

Guys are so lucky they can put everything in their pockets. They don't wear dresses or skirts and they don't have to worry so much about getting their bag stolen or forgotten about if the night went on for longer than planned. I'm planning on getting the new SONY Cyber-shot I was actually part of a little photo shoot for this campaign. You can see my photos on the site. Believe it or not, they actually used the SONY Cyber-shot TX-7 camera for the whole shoot! I was half-expecting them to use a real DSLR camera. The photos turned out excellent though!

Check these out:This was taken at a club. Looks professional, right?

This function is called the 'Intelligent Sweep Panorama'. Simply sweep your camera horizontally you were taking a video and it will come out as a panorama shot like this! You don't need to manually stitch your photos together anymore. It just comes out like this. Intelligent indeed. Would be great for people who like taking scenery shots. Yup, it'd be be perfect for when I'm watching the sunset in some of the most beautiful beaches in the world!

I LOVE WIDE ANGLE LENS! The SONY Cyber-shot TX7 camera comes with 25mm wide angle lens which makes it perfect for people like me, who like taking self-portraits. Getting someone to take your picture for you can get too boring and 'posed'. I prefer standing still in a moment and capturing the moment myself sometimes. This picture is TOP QUALITY! It's clear that I've made my decision...

Perhaps it's time to go touchscreen with my digital camera too (you know I'm an iPhone lover)!

I'm going to take part in both the contests on the SONY Cyber-shot TX7 website to try my luck and see if I can win myself a camera!

Unravel The Night contest: This game was so easy. Basically you're supposed to look for 4 scenes in a club and capture it. Be quick because you're being timed! I failed to capture the citylights and got a score of 5172 Try it and share your scores!

Night Gone Wrong contest: This one's easy as pie too. Just upload a photo that was ruined by bad lighting and describe how your night was ruined by the bad photo!

I have too many 'nights gone wrong'. Here's one:Taken at the Fullerton suite where my friends and I celebrated New Year's Day watching the fireworks. I love fireworks! It was so hard and almost impossible to take a good shot of the fireworks. Either that or I just didn't know how to make full use of my camera functions. I even tried using the 'Fireworks Mode' but it came out blurry! Like I said, I prefer taking photos of myself standing in front of an interesting backdrop but it didn't help that using 'Fireworks Mode' meant that I couldn't use Flash and not using the camera flash usually means your photos will come out blurry unless you have super steady hands! I was so frustrated with camera I was so tempted to throw it onto the floor and watch it break to pieces.

I want the SONY Cyber-shot TX7! It's so much slimmer and sexier...

I definitely want this in red!
