The Photo Contest

Like I said in the previous post, recently I participated in a photo contest hold by Microsoft and only for Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines, Thailand, India, and Mainland China residents. Anyway, there were some funny stories in this contest, but that will be another story in another post :P

The contest is called Project Shutter. There are 3 category for the contest: food, culture, and architecture. To join this contest, every participant must submit 3 photos in any of the categories. And I submit 2 photos for architecture category and another one in culture category. Unfortunately I didn't make it to the 9 top finalist, but it's alright. This is my very first time in a photography contest anyway. It was really tiring hunting the pictures for this contest, but it was really fun. Anyway, to hunt pictures you must love to walk for a long time. Hehe.. I even took a walk or ride a bicycle till around 12 p.m. to take the pictures.

I couldn't participate in this contest if I had not received any help from my friends. So I would like to give a ton thanks to:

1. God to give me a good health, protect me always, and for everything in my life.
   
2. My family (that always wondered how late I get back to home) to give me the encouragement.
   
3. Audi to let me know about this contest.
4. Ujay to lend me her brother DSLR camera, give me the spirit, and help me to choose pictures to be submitted.
5. Pendy to help me during submission time and lend me his internet connection.
   

And here they are the 3 pictures I submitted for the contest:
