Canon Photomarathon Malaysia 2011

Went back from Canon Photomarathon 2011, it is really a great experience to participant in such photography event.

Canon Photomarathon Malaysia 2011

Date: 15 October 2011 (Saturday)

Venue: Bukit Bintang Entrance, Pavilion Kuala Lumpur

Time: 0800 - 2100 hours

Registration fee: RM20 (Online), RM25 (Walk-in).

* All proceeds collected from registration fee will be donated to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

On that day, 3 different themes will be announced in different time, all the participants were given 3 hours to capture the photo based on the given theme and submitted it together after the Theme 3 photography session finished.

Theme 1: The Earth Guardian (theme announcement: 0900-0930)

Theme 2: City Of Colours (theme announcement: 1300-1330)

Theme 3: The Extraordinary of Ordinary (theme announcement: 1600-1630)

One of the given rules is that: each participant must TAG a subject in Theme 1 photo, and the tagged subject in Theme 1 photo must appear in Theme 2 photo (regardless as main subject or just part of the photo). Then, participants is required to tag a different subject in Theme 2 photo, and the tagged subject in Theme 2 photo must appear n Theme 3 photo (regardless as main subject or just part of the photo).

All photos have to capture on the event day. After the full day of photography session and hectic in selecting photo for submission, finally I randomly selected and submitted 3 photos as below. Today when I wake up from the early morning and inspiration (Steve Jobs think of me? LOL) came to me suddenly for the 3 photos that I submitted. Wow, my photos actually have the story line....haha

(all photos are original without edition except cropping on the second theme photo)

- Steve Jobs is really The Extraordinary Of Ordinary. He is great and we are so proud of him.

This is my first time joined this kind of photography event. I'm not sure whether my submitted photos fulfilled the three themes or not, anyway it is a wonderful photography outing, take it as experience and as part of the charity to raise fund for the breast cancer research.
