Photography Exhibition



Just last week, a photography contest exhibition was held at our school. It was something that I looked forward to because I just love photography. The exhibition features the award winning photos of a photography contest organised by CIMB foundation( CIMB is Malaysia's second largest financial services provider) . For the photography contest, participants are required to take a creative photo of a cause on community development, sports or education and write a short essay of about 100 words explaining why the cause deserves funding from CIMB Foundation. In the contest, one of our students Ronny Izwani Husni emerged as the first prize winner for school category (at the national level). We are so proud of him..





First prize photo by one of our students - Ronny Izwani who walked away with RM10,000! The photo is simple but very meaningful and touching.The photo was shot at an Old Folk's home here in KT. I have been to the old folk's home a few times and know most of the inmates.


For the contest, Ronny took a compelling photo and wrote an essay about the need to improve an old folk’s home located in Kuala Terengganu by providing better facilities for the comfort of the residents. He walked away with a cash prize of RM10,000 and the school gets RM15,000 in which the money has to be spent on charity projects for the old folk's home. In school, another teacher and I are in charge of the charity projects at the Old Folk's Home.

2nd prize winner



3rd prize winner


Some photos I like from the Open Category!

Such huge yellow card!





I love this photo the most! Cute je org Utan tu!

Photo of a fishing village of the Bajaus in Sabah. See the crystal clear water! Bestnya kalau dapat terjun ke dalam air yg jernih tu!

Some children have to go to school by boat and they are not wearing life jackets..How lucky our children are!


Due to our student's achievement in the photography contest, CIMB Malaysia had sponsored a photography workshop for our students and I was so lucky to be able to join my students at the workshop.



At the photography workshop organised by CIMB foundation

At the workshop-we were taught on how to edit the photo using photoshop. Rashidi, the photographer showed us his various lenses and of course they are expensive!



In conjunction with the event, CIMB also presented a year's sponsorship of the The Star's newspapers in Education to the school principal.


News about the event was in Star Newspaper the next day.



As for me ,the teacher, I never take part in any photography contest but I am so happy with the Glam Blogger award which I got from Hidayah- One Day At A Time. Thank you very much Hidayah. I really appreciate it. Dapat award kat blog ni pun dah cukup happy. I would like to extend the Glam Blogger Award to three friendly bloggers with impressive photoblogs . They are Nat, Biana and Cheryl.

  3. That's truly impressive for young people to engage in photography and to take pictures so beautifully. I don't think I could have taken pictures as finely as these kids. I like the idea of the contest. It's definitely something that allow kids to open their eyes to the world and to express their feelings about what they see.
