Canon Photomarathon (Random)

As mentioned in my previous post, this is first of three themes given during the recent Canon Photomarathon 2011.

EAT

CIRCLE

IMAGINE

EAT, CIRCLE, IMAGINE

The 3 themes for this year’s Canon Photomarathon Singapore. We are given 3 hours for each theme. No restrictions except to be law-abiding and be safe.

1st theme: EAT

I wanted to shoot mother bird feeding baby bird, or mother feeding child, or an old man eating alone from a plastic bag, or a caterpillar on a leaf. Lots of fun ideas, but one thing I learnt immediately on this event is having ideas doesn’t mean I can find the subject.

This is my entry.

2nd theme: CIRCLE

This is where my creativity went MIA. So instead I took the chance to shoot the entire theme using my newly bought 50mm lens.

My entry for this theme.

3rd theme: IMAGINE

Okay, when I saw the theme, I was totally dumb-founded. How to shoot imagine? Imagination is anything. I can snap the sky and imagine it’s cotton candy. Right? Switching back to my 18-105mm lens. The idea was to find a small girl looking into a jewellery store, or a man smoking and puffing out, or an unfinished building construction.

Submitted this for my last theme. Took it in B&W to enhance imagination..

Had a tremendous time shooting with friends and also to test myself. Tiring? Yes! I will be there again next year and the next and the next. My aim is to get more of my friends to join me.

For the records, I am a Nikon user and I will not change to Canon =)

More of my shots coming up in the next few days…

Canon 9th PhotoMarathon 2011

First of all, I have to say I am a Nikon user. But thanks to the organisers, the terms and conditions states that all participants can use any digital camera during the competition.

This is a chance for photo-enthusiastic like me to learn and enjoy a full day of photography. Seriously, the probability of winning is close to 0. But for just $10, the fun will be 100%.
