peektures (canon photomarathon part 1)

i took part again this year.. and well i din win.. but i had a valuable experience with my dad.
The themes are 1) Faces, 2) Power: Simply Red, 3) A Slice of History 4) Darkness

so i was originally taking pics of an artists and i tot of my dad and a piece of artwork he created. Went back home but i din manage to get the kinda effect that i wanted. THen my dad had a brilliant idea. He suggested putting little clay chinese opera masks on his face! then i can take pic as its a intriguing composition! Wow.. my dad was busy marking his art papers initially but he willingly spent time being my "model" for the morning. *very touched*

But i din win. I do feel that my father's pic has a lot of composition, maybe my technique was not good enough to bring it out. I tink i still need lotsa work if i were to get my photography act 2gether ! grrrrr
