thanks guys...
which picture...actually all 10 were judged..and the best fitting with the best photos won...
there was 1 grand prize... 3k + 1000 rinngit pointshoot camera

3x runner up prizez of 1k + 500 rinngit PS camera

then

10x merit prize - RM300
and 10 X consolation - rm 200( i won this one )

entry fees was RM10 and they gave lunch,tea, shirt, cap, map and a good time!!...

really worth the effort joining this one if only for the experience alone...i learnt what exactly can a good quality wide angle lens do...because i made one friend there...he was using a ultra wide angle canon 11 - 20mm lens with RM300 dollar CPL...very naise his photos (the colour ) ...

and happened to be..this guy won the first prize...totally deserved it although there were sum really pro guys there who din win anything ( cause not creative - thier photos all the same )..... ahhaha...

got MK2...got D3X....i saw allsorts of weird lenses....got one guy with 2 cameras.....got one guy with G lens big big wan....telephoto....

i myself learnt the hard way that 6 hours with a backpack...a velbon sherpa ( 2kg tripod O_O ) , my tamron 70 -300 telephoto, 18 - 70 kitlens (which i used for 90% of the shots) and my trusty a300..........causes a lot of muscle strain in various parts of my body...

but it was all worth it!!

yea..he deserved it.. no barrier at all..we click quite ok lor....... he is not a pro photographer also..just a passionate amateur...but definitely more experienced and has better composition skills..

me being the one out of two indian guys in the whole contest...then the organizer with me happy deepavali and ask for muruku...if not he disqualify me.. O_O...

he was joking lar...i laugh together...although im a christian and dont celebrate..ahahhahahah.....quite jovial and fun

if there is one important thing that this competition embeded into me its this :


NEWBIES... DONT GET INTIMIDATED AND SCARED BY HIGH END CAMERAS AND GEAR...... IF YOUR HEART IS IN YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY....AND YOU LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW....... THEN THOSE " PRO's " GOT NOTHING ON YA!!! ..... seriously...trust ur instincts....

dont look down on the noob with the a100 ahhahahah........

but dont get me wrong......good gear will definitely help u reach better heights....but at the end of the day...they are just tools and methods to catch THAT picture that u imagine and feel.........but if u cant even comprehend a good picture...ahahha..oh well ..good luck larh ....

cmon guys lets make the alpha presence known in future competitions...DAMN few alphanatics there LARH!!

har...nonono.....the alpha users were THE MINORITY...MAJORITY WAS C and N..... never saw any O users...and only 1 other Alpha users.....who said only alpha bro..... the first prize winner was a C user....

anyway..brand does not matter la....80% of ur photo comes from ur own creativity.....a real super pro can use a lomo and get shots that will stun your heart and eyes....

vcxv : ..hey bro, how come your photos all have some sort of distortion? what lens are you using?

I AM STUNNED!!!! kena poison from 16-80..now 135...so much poison in this world

gaah better not bro... i don hv the moolah.....already selling my beloved bass guitar to fund for more gadgets... .... trying to save enough for a a850 by next year...(or equivalent FF camera )

unless a really awesome a700/a550 comes out ....still wanna test the a550 too...it has a exmor sensor!

arent we all always on a quest to get new gear that can better capture that moment in our minds?

resize your photos to about 500- 600kb.. then click "more options" below ur fast reply box...then there will be a space to add attachment....use that

hmmm..wondering how come model got quite appearent acne?...is she a professional model?

hhahhaa.. not bad at all achew!! ... much nicer now

find the matrix of leadership....... then u shall become ...... A PRIME.... (lame joke alert )

hmmmm wow....sp90 ..pretty famous lens...reading reading reading

my dream setup

non full frame /full frame
a550/a850
f58
16-80/16-35 cz
70-300mm G lens
135 mm ZA


loooooooooong way to go...the only thing ive got so far....my tripod...ruffly need 20k somemore...anyone care to donate?

guys.. wondering how much would the price of a A300 with kitlens and filter sell for? roughly 6k shutter count, no scratch and damage, with 4 gb cf box etc etc. ...assume no more warranty.

nice photos....pss..the boat also urs ar?
ahahhaha
if so..sponsor all of us here one 55-200

i will post up sum pics of my 70 - 300 tammy.....
it has sum PF issues though...but good lens nonetheless

ahhahaha... yesh!... my 70 -300 will serve that purpose also
ehhehehehehhehehehehhehehe
