Fun with Photography Carnival 2011

Posted on by

The recently concluded Aver Awards Fun with Photography Carnival 2011 held from 26 September to 2 October 2011was a successful event, with the visitors having good time along with their families. Many visitors had fantastic bargains and quite a few were seen leaving with Panasonic TVs. Those who brought their children along were equally impressed by popcorn and cotton candy stations as well as  balloons and sticker colouring booths setup courtesy of Aver Awards Sdn Bhd. The main highlight of the whole event were surely the model shooting contest.

 

Total of 6 models strutted their stuff on stage wearing fashion apparel supplied by online fashion house www.iwearsin.com. Total of 50 contestants who were gunning for the top three prizes of RM 3,000, RM 1,500 and RM 500 cash vouchers. They were all too happy when the main shooting area was cordoned off specially for them, allowing them to freely move about unrestricted instead of being crammed like sardines in typical model shooting contests. Apart from the top 3 winners, 10 consolation winners also walked away with an exclusive Aver Awards photography vest. The top 3 winners are Lim Wee Giap, followed by Ng Choy Loi and Ah Kheng Chong. A few female shooters walked away with consolation prizes too, indicating the emergence of strong female contenders among this male-dominated hobby.

 

Amid the loud music spun by DJ Rohan, the mess of popped balloons, strewn popcorn and candy floss, and the colorful mess left behind by eager kids at the sticker coloring station, we would like to thank all participants and visitors to the Carnival. Looking forward t a bigger and more exciting event net year!

July Lepak Corner – Bugs

Posted on by

Aver Awards August Lepak Corner this month has given participants chance to shoot macros of tiny creatures in e@curve. Professional photographer Teng Wei was again called upon to share his vast expertise in photography with the eager participants. At first, some of the participants were squeamish as he produced a bag of worms that was bought from a local pet shop. Using a macro lens and a few Nissin and Metz flashguns, he showed the participants how best to shoot such an uninteresting subject such as worms, to turn ordinary things into interesting photographs. Representatives from Fotoman Marketing Sdn Bhd (distributor of Voigtlander lenses in Malaysia) and Schmidt Marketing Sdn Bhd (distributor of Nissin and Metz flashguns) were also present with their range of products for participants to try out during the event. Total of around 20 participants came for the eventm and they were duly rewarded by receiving personal tutelage from Teng Wei.
