GREY MATTERS Photography Challenge 2007

Circle of Light (COL) is proud to announce the launch of a new annual photo competition for Black & White (B&W) photo enthusiasts. COL is a group of professional and serious amateur photographers residing in Singapore that all share a common interest in B&W photography. The goal of the COL membership is to promote and advance the understanding of B&W photography and fine art B&W print production.

This competition is an attempt to slow people down before they click the shutter - to get people back to thinking about what the final image is going to look like - use their “Grey Matter” - before they click the shutter.

Full details on the competition can be found here

For this competition. So i presume we'll be flooding Cafe F stop on the 25th? Hmm then those that dun fall within the first 50 to reg how? Also, we'll be using our own cams rite?

[jeryltan]

think this the one only restricted to film cameras..

[jcryan55]

I think the post says for more details, click the link above......So, ChrisLim, u may like to do just that to get the answers.

yes, the competition is only for film only, but can be 35mm or 120mm format film, u choose la.....

This competition only open to first 50 persons who register la.....I think becos they got only that much resources and manpower to do it in small scale the 1st time. Let the event grow la....later then can do BIG BIG ma....
