how do you become an official photog for...

[sehsuan]

NDP?

saw so many photogs carrying the NDP photog's pass, but how do you become one in the first place? :dunno:

 

[wacko]

Invitation only? Mainly for press photographers?

I'm just guessing. :embrass:

And recruit yourself as a photographer?

Either you are from the formation or unit that are organising the NDP.

Huh? All the official photographers are army folks?

I think there are some invited individuals too. Guess you'll need to have a very strong portfolio before they will even think of you. Those are probably full time photographers or free lance with many years of experience, and of course very impressive gears.

NDP shooting is no joke, it's a real tough job. Guess newbies like me shouldn't even think of shooting it.

Better idea. Go home. Turn your tele on. Record the thing on video. Then go through the thing, pause when necessary, and shoot what you want off the tele. Works a treat.

Well, I can tell you one example though it's probably not all that there is. My friend did some shooting for NDP. He's from the SAF and he was in SAFRAPC.

Get caught and you will be made to clean up the trash people left behind after NDP!

Don't fake lar... there's actually someone here who can get NDP Press Pass if I'm not wrong... u just got to guess who is him

 

[anavrin]

Get the tix for NDP and go and still can take nice pictures from the stands mah.....

ndp photogs. Some are the organising formation's people. The rest are photogs from the various press, mainly SPH. There's quote on the number of passes, so i doubt u can get a pass. Due to idiots who spoil the show. There was one, an official photographer from Straits time. He stood in front of the march past to take a photo, screwed it up, cos they had to SLOW DOWN to avoid crashing into him. was..... very embarassing.

It's Guards that's organizing the NDP this year.... Forgot the exact details.

Got to know this from my CO's NDP invitation card...

You know, I've always reckoned there was a reason it was called a press pass. You know, because it's for the press?

Otherwise they'd have called it the Tom Dick and Harry Freeloader Joyrider pass.
