I Can Shoot Film

Since the depreciation of prices in the digital camera market, digital photography have been a hobby not anymore by a chosen few, but by anyone who can hold a camera. Film, how ever have been pushed back into the dark and only a few venture into using it. Well, I tried to test the waters by buying a film SLR and had a great time. Find out how after the jump.

New Year, New Blog Content?

So it's 2012 already? I haven't posted here since October 31, 2011 and it sure was a very long time ago (insert last year joke here) Anyway, to all my old time followers (are there any?) You may notice that my site has undergone a facelift. Yep, the old design was not not allowed by the Blogger team so I managed to get a template and edit some points of it so that my blog don't look like sh*t.

I think most of my followers got tired already because no decent update was made here for a while. I guess I owe it to my laziness and recent indulgence to photography. So as part of my "New Year's resolution" I'll be updating this site at least once or twice a week.

So what would be the topic for today's blog post?

Well..I'll just have a recap of what I've acheived last year and what would be my goal this year. Sounds boring right? Just bear with me here. This is my first post for 2012 anyway.

Canon Photomarathon 2010

Canon held their annual photomarathon last Saturday at the SM Mall of Asia SMX convention wherein thousands of photographers joined to show off their skills and meet other shutterbugs.

As early as 6am, shutterbugs flocked SMX hall 1 as the Canon staff gave away the photomarathon kits. Eventually, everyone is wearing a read t-shirt especially made for the event. A matching cap was also provided to complete the get-up.



The program kicked off as the hosts welcomed everyone and explained the mechanics of the contest.



There were three themes and each theme was given 2 1/2 hours to complete (including download of the picture)



Photographers, pro or hobbyist alike scouted the whole Pasay, Manila and Makati to get that shot and win the grand prize.



A telephoto lens coffee mug was a sweet gift from Canon which made us happy despite being tired and hungry.



For a first timer like me, and an amateur photographer, the photomarathon made me loved photography even more. I will no longer limit my photography skills on toy photography and cosplayers, but find a nice subject, wherever, whenever.



Canon did a wonderful job in providing shutterbugs like me this opportunity to get out there and have fun.
