PhotoMarathon 2010 in singaopre...


agreed! :thumbsup:

totally no idea what to shoot for theme3. end up shooting batteries from my flash... lol
if this year de this hard, next year de, maybe they will give "Retreat!"!!! LOL!!
 

Dun understand some of the winning entries...

Especially those underexposed ones. Isn't an unexposed photo an automatic disqualification?

Can't expose correctly still can win ah?

By underexpose, I mean the whole photo black man, even MC can't see what it is...
 

well... guess there are the judges's perspectives of the various themes lol
 

I left early also...hope it would rain next year...anyone pickup the lost the 580ex? Who's the winners?

I am a canon user but Canon Company is the overall winner because no matter how good the photos were taken...they collected $10 from each participant and had a mass "live" advertisment to the public haha... So to me maybe this isn't that much of a photography competition but more of a Canon advert. That's why you guys are required to wear the CANON polo tee throughout the competition right? haha

Just some random thoughts...

....except when u get chased out of private premises while wearing that T-shirt due to trespassing....
 

I was totally disappointed by some of the short listed entries.... which was chosen even before the many other photographers that queued till outside!!?!?
That was too fast.


I guess to attract the judges are to shoot irrelevant subjects to the given theme.

My pals will not be joining anymore. period.
 

well.......the 10 bucks i more than get back from the bottles of red bulls i drank. some of the shots they say is very good......i see also don't understand.
 

Just enjoy the fun.... It is more for the experience....

Shucks... thought I could save money from buying a 7D or 60D... now... got to continue saving some more... hahaha.......................... :bsmilie:
 

Saw a few groups in Carefour earlier, pointing and shooting. :bsmilie:

yea man. LOL. ended up I spent most of my time on the Osim massage machine till my battery went flat that the red bull also could not re-charge, then left :bsmilie:

the theme not practical at all. haha
 

It was totally hilarious when the emcee himself wasn't even wearing that t-shirt when he was constantly reminding everyone to wear it.

Sorry but the most meaningful thing I did was only to bond with my friends and did some strobing.

And I thought the opening of the event where everyone had to shout Canon for no reason was quite ridiculous. No offense to Canon users.

To be honest, some of the ones chosen for 2009 weren't even good or appealing at all. I saw this one in B&W showing a couple walking (the Togetherness theme) and it wasn't interesting at all? Even if subjectiveness was being accounted in, it still wasn't.

Well, I saw alot of people shooting the pond outside Esplanade for Clarity and really wonder how they would make their shots appealing... and faith seems to be all about religion etc etc? When it doesn't have to be religion at all?

I shot a guy preparing to sprint for charge though.... guess it wasn't chosen... since I left straight after submission of third photo...

did u notice how many photos were there of people shooting through lens (specs, lens, glasses)? it was so cliched!

and yeah, the faith part.......so many about the religious iconography...

creativity wise...i think this year de...pretty not there yet.

nope.. i went to esplanade so i didn't see people taking photos of their lenses for clarity... but seriously, with that thick haze around, i wonder how they could take a sharp enough shot of the water surface without using any flashes or strobes.

this is my first year joining it and well, i wasn't very disappointed as I have expected it... shall not elaborate anymore... i joined because of some other reasons.
 

one man's meat maybe another's poison.

imo, photography is like a kind of personal art. you take the picture, you like it can already.

there are million other photography hobbyists around, you cant possibly please each and every one of them.
 

yeap, true...but i have to laugh........if these were the qualities of the winning entries (havent seen them yet), would canon really use them for promo?
 

anyone got any photos of the winning shots?
