Google maps will be able to give you directions to RSYC from wherever you may be.

Please be informed that there is no direct public bus to RSYC, the nearer MRT is Clementi and you have to either drive or share a cab to go there.

Info about the Photography Competition
Teams
All of you will be split randomly into teams of 5. For those with spouses and boy/girl-friends, I'll try my best to put them together in the same team. However, other than these special cases I will try and mix you guys up as much as possible. The aim is to let everyone get to know everyone else better, as well as a chance for the veterans to get to know the newbies and vice versa! The teams will be revealed during registration.

No unofficial team changes allowed! Prizes are only awarded to the "official" members of winning team!

Themes
There will be 5 themes for the competitions and each team will have to produce 5 photographs (1 for each theme) for judging. The themes will be announced in the morning and the teams are free to go around anywhere in Singapore to prepare that 5 photographs.

Each theme is actually related to some photography technique/concept but can be interpreted as creatively as each team wants but they will have to be able to convince the judges during the teams presentation session.

Submission
Please return to RSYC latest by 2:30pm, but not before 1:00pm.
Photographs to be submitted are to be in JPG format, straight out of camera. No external post processing required/allowed.

There will be laptops in the RSYC function room manned by the committee members. Please submit your photographs to us before the cut off time of 3pm so we do not drag other activities down. Please rename your photographs during the submission in the format [TeamName]-[ThemeNo].jpg to facilitate the judging process.
Example photo for Theme 3 by Team B will be B-3.jpg.

We will be there to assist you should there be any problems.

Judging
Each team will have 5 minutes each to talk about their 5 chosen photographs.
The speaker will have to describe
1. How they shot this photograph. Some technical details will be appreciated e.g. Natural Lighting/Off camera lighting at 45 degree/slow shutter at 2s/I chose F11 but not f16 because I wanted more dof but not too much... etc.
2. How does this describe or relate to the given theme.

It is up to the team's discretion to have 1 speaker for all 5 photos or 1 speaker for each photo.

You still only have 5 minutes :D

Prizes

Any other questions? Feel free to post it here or PM me...

(Please note that this event is only open to members of this forum and must also be users of Sony cameras, i.e. Alpha, NEX, PnS etc)

As much as we hope everyone here can attend this event, please note that as spaces are limited, do kindly remove yourself from the list if you find out you are unable to attend the event, and let others in the Alpha family attend!
At the risk of sounding a bit strict, if any member is found to have registered for this event yet did not turn up, he/she will be blacklisted and banned from future AlphaDSLR events.
Your cooperation and understanding is very much appreciated!
