Bike Trip 2010: I

Up to Ha Giang with good friends, whiskey and guitars. These photos are using a digital point and shoot although I was mainly shooting film with my Zenit 122 (those to come later). Trouble with having a film camera is once the film's loaded you're stuck with that ISO, and as the weather was erratic I ended up using the Zenit less than i wanted to. Neverthless i had fun with the point and shoot - a wee Canon IXUS - especially the macro feature.

Canon Photomarathon 2009

Yesterday i took part in the photomarathon for the first time. About 7 or 800 photographers of all ages/abilities racing to complete assignments on time, and for the chance to win a trip to Japan. The competition consisted of three themes - each to be completed in 3 hours: the first theme was 'family', second was 'new vietnam', third was 'red green blue'. It was a fun, challenging day. I met some nice people and had the chance to see some of the high quality work produced by the local photographers. But i wasn't totally happy with my photos, so it was something of a shock when i won first place in the second theme assignment.
1st theme:- Family
