Please click THIS for more photos of the pageant.

We (together with 3 official photographers) encountered difficulties in shooting our subjects because of low lighting, spot light and the glittering outfits of the contestants. The result is… more over exposed photos. No enhancement done on my shots, cropping only.

To Master, thanks for the help.

November 30, 2007 - again, organized by Saudi Arabia Hiligaynon Inc. (SAHI), the yearly event was a successful one. They invite Nyoy Volante and Blakdyak to be the guest performers from the Phillipines but unfortunately Blakdyak didn’t make it due to the late visa processing. Together with the local performers including us entertain the crowd.

My shots were limited due to the water sprays coming from every corner. I covered my camera with two plastic bags to avoid getting wet, specially when we passed by near the Fire Station Department who used bigger hoses.
