Finally, I decide to join Photo Marathon Asia 2008 organised by Canon. It was a big event, and this year it attracted more than thousand people to join.
I had to wake up by 5:00 a.m. early in the morning although i felt like very sleepy. After checking all my camera stuff, i drove my car to Puchong waiting another friend. We reach Time Square about 6:45 p.m which consider quite late. However, at that moment the queue was not that long. Because I did my registration online, I manage to bypass the queue and go to get my tag in another line. By looking at the online registration name list, I was in number 735 which is much more at the back. The problem not only this, there are a lot of people walk in to registered at the counter. After registration, and my muscular buddy - Muskular man and Maskular women arrived and did there registration as the compact categories participant was not as much as DSLR.
8:15 a.m. we get out first Theme which was "indulge metropolitan". Sweat to me, I totally cannot think of how to get this theme. I only manage to get the one I felt ok in the evening time. Working from Time Square, we were moving toward Pavilion to get our second theme "Mess in rules" about 10:00 a.m. This theme, I also have no any idea what to snap. Finally we walk toward KLCC to get our last theme: Goes Green. And to me this is the most simple but how to get a creative idea on it was a big problem.
Without thinking much it was 12:00 p.m. and we had our lunch at KLCC before walking back to Time Square to upload our picture to the server. (See it is a marathon)
We reach Time square about 4:00 p.m. sitting at star buck to choose the picture to upload to the server.
The result was expected announce about 7:00 but yet it was delayed to 8:30 p.m. (This is the part that made me not happy with the organiser as they never mention anything occur to delay the session.) For sure, I am a freshies in the DSLR world, and it is unlikely I can win the contest.
I should share some of the picture I took during the event.
