Yup editing to enhance the quality of your pics should be fine (if needed), but not to the extent whereby the reality of it is twisted! xD

Lion's roar pics

Great pics! Do learn :-)

Cut out all the distractions, like this. Focus on the action.

Captures the moment... just too bad it blocks the 2nd guy, but u get the idea :-)

Multiple layers to the pic... interesting details reveal as ur eyes start peeling away layers


Nice use of panning. Maybe cut away the excess on the right? The action leads your eye to the left, maybe put something there? (the pic might look a bit empty)


shows interaction.


notice how the use of framing and rule of thirds emphasizes the emotion.

Think abt this: what is the effect of the space in the center? Would it be better with or without that space?

When: 19.02.2008 Tue 11.00am till 15.03.2008

What: 30th February – a placeholder for the real that reaches no boundaries; where imagination loses absurdity.

A JCCI art scholarship recipient, he has been the first Singaporean whose works were acquired by Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts in 2001, a collective of photographic prints which includes artworks by renowned photographers Nobuyashi Araki, Helmut Newton and Ansel Adams.

Thanks again to Karliang for the heads-up!

Photo Competition organised by ME!

Hi everyone,

This is of utmost importance. Pls take part in the photo competition organised by ME! This competition is entitled A Peacock's Tale.

The theme is Racial Harmony. So pls, pls rack your brains and snap any photos pertaining, even remotely, to Racial Harmony. Yup, also remember to write a short, one-liner caption to explain its connection with theme.

Prizes are attractive. A $500 cash prize for the top prize. (Btw, considering RIPC's ownage photography standards, we are bound to sweep the prizes should we participate. So, everyone, LET'S PARTICIPATE.)

Yup, Deadline is the end of March Holidays. So snap your photos and send them to ME!!!

Regards,

Vice Chair Gilbert
