Photo 5
My box finally came some time last week for the Canon Photo5 competition and the box is sooo cute to the max please!!! All recycled and so cute!
Anyway, the Canon Photo5 competition is only open to 2500 applicants in Australia but simply registering and then you'll get your special pack in the mail.
Basically there are 4 items in the box.
A red balloon.
Yellow dot stickers.
1 piece of pink chalk.
1 sheet of blue cellophane.
The aim of the competition is to creatively photograph these "elements."
I've been thinking my brains out how to creatively photograph these boring things and turn them into something fun... but I can't think of anything! I don't even think I have the time to go creatively take the photos anyway, but it was cool to recieve the box in the mail!
Winner gets a 40D and some other cool camera gear.
In other photography news, I got an email in my flickr account last week saying this:

For your information this is the picture that has been short listed. It's a photo that I took in November 2006 at Smith's Beach Yallingyup on our road trip - mind you, it was taken with my Olympus u-mini - which was quite the top of its range when it came out at the time back in 2004.
I have never even taken photography seriously at all. Even a DSLR I don't even know how to use, even going to scientific photography 101, I can't remember anything that I've learnt. I guess it's all a trial and error... I just need more practice and the time to go shooting.
For your information, my flickr website can be found @ http://www.flickr.com/photos/winterlove/
... though I haven't updated it for a while since... no geng photos to update. haha! But it's a great way for budding photographers to showcase their talents and then unknowingly be discovered... maybe! =)
