What if you saw this advertisement somewhere online like Youth Malaysia.com.. and then you went there and had a wish to win your first competition.. that you hope to win not only for the sake of winning but attracted by the prize they are giving out as well!
as the prizes are Ching Ching $ $
1st prize Rm 3k
2nd prize Rm 2k
3rd prize Rm 1k
and even the consolation prize would be Rm 300 for 10 Lucky fellas
So all i have is a Chance.. and an Alpha 700.. pretty busy during those few days when the competition/event was ongoing..
it started from January 18 i think.. and the pictures compile up i had and the time i spend at the event was less than 5 hours throughout the whole 3 days event.. the only pictures i had was limited.. but well.. telling myself.. Pictures aren’t about quantity.. bla bla bla.. cliche.. it’s quality.. so despite the very little pictures i had on hand.. i still submited in my entry on the last day on Sunday January 20th.. at approx 1230pm at the booth.. had to fork out Rm 20 for the competition entry fee..
a LOT of people joined.. and all i had was just 3 pictures..(The ones at columm G)
WORST case Scenario! What would you do if your pictures are being CROPPED during printing? without you knowing it and the result is the part you want to show the most?
These are the Original pictures!
Orang hilang badan.. kena chopped this fella..
The Y is almost missing already the top part of it.. sob.. =P
This one.. the Top is being cropped..
Compare and you will see the differences!
I totally went mad.. This is Madness.. my pictures.. then i went jumping around and my hope was lost like 40% already..
There were 3-5 Sony Alpha users that i bumped into that joined the competition as well.. yea.. long live Sony Alpha..
Oh one of the contestant was Albert as well.. can u spot him at the event? =P hehe
Can u spot Albert here?
So there were tons of pictures there.. all so colourful and all DSLR users.. Banyak tau! can’t really expect judge to spot your entries on the spot as well.. MY entries was SOOOO strategically located as they are located at the BOTTOM! really bottom.. G entries are the lowest entry and so not eye to heart level picture level.. sob.. so we waited.. for the judges to come.. and our faith lies.. there.. Albert’s entry also almost at the bottom.. sob.. all we have is our stupidly cropped pictures and pleaseee look down there judges as my pictures are sooo colourful.. and some aura to push down there and hope they would even look at my entries.. hope that the judges won’t be so lazy to squat down and look at my pictures.. wayyy down there.. =P
hours passed.. as they say the judges would come at 3pm..
then comes 4pm.. then.. AHA this semi botak fella looks like judge to me.. and aha! another fella quite old and wise looking looks like one too.. LoL =P they walked the walk.. and they walk the walked.. =P went past like 3 times going from front and back.. then.. they start choosing.. took out their paper and pen of fate and start targetting and bombing entries from the coordinates given..
i was like.. down there.. down there.. not here.. there.. there.. =P Albert sama jugak.. we even squat down there to grab their attention to tell them that ei.. down here got pictures la.. nice ones.. =P hehehe then.. i gave up.. i stand up.. and look from afar.. =P
then.. AHA!
ahaaaa.. my entries.. i straight away took out my cam and snap a few pics.. a bit blurry thou.. =P
i forgot to take a picture of my entries was being selected when they took out my picture and it was left empty.. but then.. well.. this is my winning entry.. after waited for 2+ weeksss.. quite dreadful.. and the results were suppose to be announced on that day itself.. but well.. prizes haven’t gotten yet.. but i’m happy.. =) yea..
Anyway.. which One do you all prefer? i personally prefer the 1st picture..
The winning entry was wayyy too commercialize =P with a Huge print of Youth 08 Smack on your face..
To those i meet during Youth 08! watsup yo! nice to meet u all..
