Colorwise

In preparation for the Clean & Green Singapore Photo Contest. I brought the whole troops of Tg. Katong AV Media Club members (32 or them!) for a shooting trip at the scenic Hortpark and Southern Ridges.

The HortPark got some real nice landscaping, but it was the height of the Southern Ridges and the spectacular on-top-of-forest view than blown us away! The only problem we faced was some of the girls were not too combatable with height! But still we manage to produce some stunning photos.

I have selected some to share here:-

The young mind given enough opportunities will always surprise you with their creativity. This has been proven many times during my work as a photographic instructor in various school. Last Friday I brought a group of Students from Tanjong Katong Sec. Sch. for a photo session at Little India. The students turn out many good work. One students submitted a photo and the description that leave me a deep impression on what photography can contribute to the understanding of the world around by the young minds.

Her description:

Title: Perspective from a Chinese

Being a Chinese national, it was the first time that i set foot in Singapore's famous Indian temple, Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, I was very sure that there was a festival going on, so I reached there at 3pm. To my surprise, the temple was still closed. Being a curious chap, I peeked into one of the holes and found out that the participants were still preparing for the festival. I wondered aimlessly in the temple when it opened. I breathe in the heavy fumes of incense which felt calming to my senses. To my amazement there were many people sitting around the floor. Different races of people were sitting around in the same room. This open concept made me feel extremely comfortable. At 5 in the evening, the much awaited festival finally begun. Many Indians crowded around a small place. Without knowing, my exhausted feet and excited mind brought me there to watch the event. Some people were even holding brightly-lit candles. After that, two of the participants sat in a prominent place, I closed my eyes and I could hear the soft chanting of Indian scriptures......

I am happy with the hardwork you put in. Seen many good work. Well done!  I have given my comments yesterday on the Photos for the contest entry. Those photos that get “Good Shot!” comments are qualify for the entry.

It was truly thrilling and satisfying when Maurice Lim for Tanjong Katong Secondary School clinched the 1st Prize in the National Racial Harmony Photo Competition organised by Tanjong Pagar CC. This has been the first major competition title clinched by the Tg. Katong Photography Club.

1st Prize- Maurice Lim National Racial Harmony Photo Contest by Tanjong Pagar CC.

Then a month later good news came again. Maurice clinched another 1st in Photo Competition organised by Mountbatten CC! This time other young photographers at the Club swept all the title! Really spectacular results, many of them are in lower secondary indeed.

Colorwise was engaged by Tanjong Katong Sec School to design a comprehensive Photography training program focus on competition theme. We did just that and the performance of the young photographers were the best testimonial.

The 1st National ArithmetEQ Challenge co-organised by Yishun Secondary & Colorwise

was a great success with more than 50 teams turned up to out wit one another on the Board. Yishun Secondary emerged Champion on the eventful days. Most important of all both participants and teachers enjoyed the fun and exciting ArithmetEQ Board Game. See you next year.

The Dunman High Photography Club has its first outing at Mt. Sinai. We made a short walk to a nearby playground and the young Dunman Photographer got lots of exciting pictures.

Later we move along the road to capture some nice flowers outside a private house and we got invited in by the owners! What a pleasant surprise! The owner is very artistic and his wife plant lots of flower. We manage to capture many interesting shots both in and outside the house. Photography is a bridge that connect people, that what came into my mind.

Selection of best photos from this outing can be view at http://www.flickr.com/photos/colorwise/sets/72157604104548255/
