Now to win a Leica!

Recently I've realized I have a thing for photo-contests. Photo-contest-enthusiast maybe? Anyway, those peeps at http://invisiblephotographer.asia/ had organised a street photography contest which features a first prize package that has a Leica M2 in it!


Well this time round, there will be judges to determine the winner, so no more crazy-going-around-asking-for-facebook-likes.

Here are my entries.

Well, 2 out of 3 were shot on the 2mpx iPhone 3G, since it's the camera I have on me most of the time. (Yes I do NOT carry the chunky dslr with me all the time, because I believe any camera that can capture moments will suffice.)

My favourite is the second picture. I've seen this uncle around near AMKHub area. For this shot, I was waiting at the traffic junction when I spotted him, seated on the floor with legs open wide, as if to attract and invite people. It was difficult to miss and he had this expression on his face that I had to capture. So had to quickly take out the 3G and after all the slow launching of the Camera, I managed to get the right angle and shot after 4 attempts. The phone can really push the limits of my patience.

I certainly hope my entries can make it all the way. But I'm sure there'll be other excellent entries as well I can't wait to see them.
