Canon Photomarathon 2010

Today would be the Canon Photomarathon. The venue would be at SMX in Pasay City. Good thing, my brother allowed me to use the services of his driver for this fun activity.

There would be three themes. It will be announced one at a time. We are given two hours to take photos and 30 minutes for the downloading. As a control, we changed the date of our camera/s to January 1, 2012.

First theme:
Deep and wide, peaks and valleys go
Inside or outside, all the places you know
Near or far, it doesn't matter
It's the view that counts to the photographer.


We went to Fort Santiago to try to capture the images the way we understood the theme.

Second theme:
Big or small, we come in different sizes
Short or tall, we grow in spurts and phases
Round and round the circle of life goes
When we stop, only God knows.


Where else? The Manila Zoo.

Theme 3:
Happy, mad--sometimes we feel the blues
Angry, glad--our moods are changing hues
Up and down our lows and highs
We close our eyes and then... surprise!


This time, we did not go far. We just walked around the SM Mall of Asia compound to capture those "emotions".

As surprise gift of Canon to the participants, upon downloading the last theme, each of us were given a 70-200mm L f/4 lens.... tumbler/mug! Even if we did not win, sure felt like we did. c",)

Did not finish the event because we have a planned reunion with the Tilak Hettige and his other Inner Vision students. That was a fine dinner with friends. We parted ways around 11:30PM.

While waiting for the next activity at SMX, learned that my on-the-spot (OTS) entry for PWC's All Saints Day contest took 8th place!
