Hi Sunshot Peeps,

It’s almost half of 2009 and yet we really haven’t had any activity aside from the monthly meetings. We feel it’s about time we all sit down and discuss our plans for the remainder of the year. For the June 2009 Sunshot Meeting (scheduled June 10, 2009, Tuesday at 6:00PM), we intend to do just that.

The monthly contest will still push through as usual but instead of inviting a speaker to discuss a photography topic of interest, we will all talk about how we are doing and what’s in store for the next 6 months or so. So it’s gonna be kinda a short but meaningful meeting, so we hope to see all of you there.

by the way, our Sunshot Photography Theme for June 2009 is “Yamang Dagat”

Our theme for June is a tribute to water inhabitants of all shapes and sizes, living or non living, Dead or Alive, Under water, over water, out of water or whatever. Time to dig up your creativities again as we tackle these water inhabiting subjects.

Regards,
Sunshot Core Team

This April, Let’s think of how we can depict Environment Care in our photos.

Let’s Think Green, Act Green, Go Green, Be Green with our

Sunshot photography theme

There is indeed ‘Art inFood’ as Sunshot concluded its February meet with their own version of Food Photography.  As always, we give special thanks to our lecturer/guest judge in the name of Mark Floro.  Here are the top three winners led by 2008 photographer of the year Mary Jane Marcelino taking first and second places with her entries ‘Strawberries and Cream’ and ‘Basket of Fruits’.  Taking second place is Alvin Santos with his entry ‘Red Orange’.  Congrats to both of you.

To maximize the talents of our guest speaker Mark Floro, we are changing our theme next month to Food Photography, more specifically ‘Art in Food’.  Please refer to the announcement email sent to all members.  Here is a sample of what the theme is meant.

The new year brings some new faces as well as not so new faces in the limelight as we start the monthly competition. This month’s theme ‘CIRCLES’ was a success as close to 50 entries were submitted to the contest. Here are the top 3 winners:

Mind Control

1st Place – Arren Lateo – Mind Control

2nd Place – Claire Lu – Circle of Dusk

Pier

3rd Place – Paul Alimario – Pier

Sunshot would like to thank the January judges: Nina Mendiola, Lito Escoto and IT Consultant Caspar Ruigrok.

Congratulations to the top 3 winners. Meeting pics as well as the top 10 photos will be posted to the gallery soon.

We have invited master photographer Mark Floro to be our next speaker for our February 10 meeting.  He’s asking the members what topic/s do we like to be covered/discussed.  Any suggestions? You can view his site at www.markfloro.com to have an idea. Some have already suggested to have a practical application during the session where he can give us tips on how to shoot food.  This is a once in a lifetime opportunitiy to have him as our speaker (no talent fee at that!).  Let’s take advantage of this
