Photography competition: Theme-Footprint

Today is the photography competition day. Actually I was shocked when I received the text message saying that TODAY is the photograph's evaluation day which I thought supposed to be next week! So, I went and was kinda excited but keeping on reminding myself not to put so much hope on this competition. "Maybe a consolation price will do"~

End up, what happened today is, I only get to know that we need to send in photos of KAMPAR only. KAMPAR ONLY. On that time, what I was thinking is "What the heck? Who said that we need to take only kampar pictures? It is not even stated in the form. It was not annouced. I don't know!!" Only those who went for the trip around Kampar knew about it! So, I am the only blured case over there sending in NOT KAMPAR PICTURES! Then, my hope of getting a consolation price gone!

At first, I heard from some of the evaluaters there saying that "Hey hey, I don't think this is from Kampar" * My heart just broken into pieces* For your information, I only sent in TWO PHOTOS! So, you can imagine my probability of getting the chance of obtaining the price! Damn!

However, I think miracles does occur! I was chosen till the last final evaluation of the photos! Hope of getting the consolation price is back! The canon people does like one of my photos too! But at the end, I still didn't get anything from this competition due to the mistakes that I've made. NOT KAMPAR PHOTOS.

I think I was lucky enough to get in to the final evaluation although is not Kampar photos. Looking back, thanks to my brother's camera, Sony Cyber Shot 13.5 megapixels! The judges actually looked at the quality of the photos more rather then referring back to the theme actually, which is Footprint. But my photos are according to the theme~~ Looking at some of the photos competing with me there, I was wondering that some kind of scenery photos are also considered as footprint? I wonder is the judges are not informed that the theme is Footprint or the judges are blind and duffer enough to consider those scenery photos! If it is so, I can also send those photos in as I have many of them!

Weird and kind of unfair competition...but I've gained a new experience of being in the competition! *I want back those photos because they printed it out in 5R! Wow!!*

Don't let sadness and disappointment overwhelm you. Maybe next time you could win the first prize!?

Anyways, sometimes judges and people are blind. Maybe next time the judges would be impressed by those shot you entered? Who knows? God knows~ Time reveals truth~

Yeah, go and claim back those photos! 5R not cheap you know! ><
