Hosting the 08 toycon, I made a personal decision not to enter the
contests for delicadeza purposes. That includes 2 of my favorite events,
the diorama competition and the toy clicks competition. The diorama
competition was special to me since I had victories on it the past 3
years and bagging first on the past 2 stages. However as time and
priorites go to Jobs, less time then is alotted for hobbies. Building a
diorama is so time consuming, the past 2 dios I have entered costs
thousands of pesos and took more months to build. As for the Photography
competition, I wanted to join as well. Even though my entry did not
win the past year, it received a lot of praise and reviews.
Also, making a photography entry takes lesser time, around just a few
hours at the most.
I was lucky that I spotted
another Photography competition. Cybertron Ph's Animated me Photography
competition. I really found this challenging since it contains a theme
and restrictions to be followed. such as the theme animated me and the
non use of photogenic lines such as MPs and Alternators/ Binaltech (80%
of my TF's are Alternators and Binatechs). Thus making the photographer
do more ingeneous and creative ways to achieve a certain feel or Effect.
This is also a baptism of fire of sorts for my
camera, the cannon eos 400d. Of which I have yet to use for exhibit or
competition purposes.
Whats good about this is I got a sale bumblebee
classics at sale from Wasabitoys. The Mech and its Alternate car mode is
perfect for a 1:35 Scale Diorama which is the military armor scale for
modelling. It was inspired by the TFTM's scene where autobots and the US
army were fighting side by side. Although I changed it a bit to make it
moody and turn into a night scene. Lighting effects were added to give
effects of warfare and explosions. CD-R King's Tripod was a real help on
this one since it helped stabilize the shot on longer shutter speeds
and capture more colors.
This entry then won first
place on Cyb Ph's Animated me competition. Overall a big thanks to those
who voted, Playkit for the prizes and Cyb Ph who coordinated the event.
