Given that the Mocha girls kept moving a lot to their rendition of covers that actually gave out a we-REALLY-want-to-be-THE-penultimate-Pussycat-Dolls-knock-off vibe while the Brazilian models stayed put most of the time, the true test for a camera to warrant my upgrade could well be its abhorrence of blurred photographs and its ability to mute most instances of digital noise, moreso when there’s not much light to play around with. I’ve been disappointed far too many times when around 90% of only a handful of my photographs turn out worthless owing to these modern problems confronting many digital photographers. I don’t know which one deserves a special place in hell more: heavy digital noise or out of focus/blurred photographs. I hate them both equally with an intensity like the force generated by a wide horizon full of angry, rampaging mammoths. (Boy, does this post sound angry!)

The third and last of a triad, this set made me realize best what I’ve been missing when it came to having a contraption that can actually (and almost) totally “freeze” subjects that move rapidly and in very random directions. Think rock stars who do highly unpredictable movements to intensify their performance. I can associate this failure with a more recent chance I had in taking photos of Bamboo and his band. If you’ve seen him live, you must agree that this guy covers the entire stage area in a blur. The only time I got a good shot of him was when he was doing a slow reprise off a number. It was also when my cam’s auto-focus got totally confuzled owing to the intense lighting. Talk about bad luck.

Not this time.

Maybe it’s a universal phenomena with current DSLR brands but whoever thought of implementing ISO levels 3200 and over coupled with the fastest shutter speed options available on these things deserve all the best things in life (and for free, pardon the cliché). Loving the fast auto focus wizardry, too.

Without much ado, friends, I present to you Kamikazee.

As with the previous two posts, I took these with the Sony Alpha 300 DSLR. Thanks to San Miguel Beer for the VIP pass. You guys rock!
