Canon 9th PhotoMarathon Singapore

The Canon 9th PhotoMarathon Singapore was held yesterday at the Suntec City Convention Hall 401. It was my 2nd time to join the event. I arrived in the venue a few minutes before 7:30am and queued for the registration. As I had registered online prior to the event, I didn’t had to wait very long to complete my registration. Walk-in participants had to wait as slots were subject to availability and had to pay S$15 to register for the event (participants who registered online only paid S$10).

After completing the registration, I got my participant ID, a Canon EF Lenses CD and some vouchers that included the official Canon 9th PhotoMarathon event t-shirt, 1 free Canon PIXMA printing and discount vouchers from epiCentre and OSIM.

Labrador Nature Reserve

Dusk at Labrador JettyDusk at Labrador Jetty

I had long wanted visiting Labrador Nature Reserve after seeing Allan’s sunset photos last year.

I was not sure where the park is exactly located but with the help of Google Maps on the BlackBerry handheld, I was able to find it after more than 20 minutes of walking from the bus stop in Alexandra Road last Thursday.

It was a lot of walking but when I reached the park I was so delighted to see the view it offered. I regret I didn’t go there much earlier. There were plenty of interesting subjects to shoot inside the nature reserve.

I was just right in time to catch the sunset but the sun only showed itself for about a minute and it was covered by the clouds again. I wish I have a telephoto lens to catch the marvelous sunset but for now I have to be contented with my ultra-wide angle lens (Don’t get me wrong but I do love my UWA lens).

Labrador Sunset

I will definitely come back to this place again and make sure I’ll come early next time.

Cebu-Sugbo 777 EB


Cebu-Sugbo 777 EB at D’ Family Park
Originally uploaded by CrasHBURN

July 7, 2007 or 777 only comes once in a lifetime so the group decided to have a photoshoot meet. After a discussion with the other members in the group it was decided to have the EB at D’ Family Park in Talamban. It was a rainy day yesterday and I thought the meeting was going to be canceled. It was already 4pm and the rain was still quite heavy. I texted Farl and I asked him if the meet was going to push through as it was raining and he told me that they are already heading to D’ Family park and will be arriving in 10 mins. I looked outside but the rain was still pretty heavy. I was lying in my bed thinking if I should go or not. Then Kulas texted me asking where the people were as they were already in Family Park. That time the rain was starting to dwindle so I took out my camera bag and jacket then headed outside.

After arriving in Family Park there was Farl, Dia, Jenny, Kulas and Rico waiting for the others to arrive. The same people that usually shows up during Cebu-Sugbo Flickr meet. We thought that the others would not show up again then after awhile we saw Lito Inso aka crasHBURN then Marvin aka mab888. We headed towards the mini zoo but the weather was just not good for shooting. It was dark and the sky was gloomy. I just ended up watching the animals in their cages.

Other members of the group then started to arrive like Paolo Mañalac, Harry, Martin and 3 other members who I met for the first time. The group decided to have dinner in Neo2x Banilad to have a talk and get to know the other members of the group.

Old members like couple Gerald and Janice Yuvallos also came. Joseph Ong who just came from a photoshoot in SM also showed up. It was nice to see new faces. We capped the night with a group shot.
