Today mark the first day of CAMPUS GAME FEST & COMIFEST 2013, Game Fest is a three days and two nights game festival that joint collaboration between the Institute of Technical Education (ITE) and Singapore's Cybersports & Online Gaming Association (SCOGA).
Proud to be in ITE which I get a chance to join the Cosplay Photography and Videography competition, today was the first day of competition and also my very first time getting close up to Cosplayer. During the competition Canon camera is sponsored for us to take pictures and video.
Camera that are sponsored are the Canon Powershot series which include G1X, G16, Powershot N, S110, SX510HS and SX260HS.
But then.... we are not allowed to choose the camera nor the cosplayer to shoot, to play it fair we are require to draw lots.
Cosplayer are all getting themselves ready while waiting for the event to get started

After the briefing is done and we are all ready to set off, one restriction is we are only allowed to shoot in the school. That is a +1 difficulties for all of us as the campus only got limited places to shoot and teams from other college might not be familiar with the place.

Most of the photographer that took part in the Cosplay Photography and Videography Competition owns a DSLR(I am not one of them). Powershot G16 functions is almost similiar to a DSLR just that the body is more compact and this new G series comes with build-in WiFi which allows you to sync your photo into your phone and upload onto the social media more conveniently.

Photos from Canon Powershot SX510HS - $399
Selling point for this Powershot is that they have 30x optical zoom and a full manual control, what I like about this camera is that their lowest ISO is 80. This is also the camera we got from the drawing of lots, which means that we are using this to compete with the other teams.
A sport photographer did a demonstration to us on how to use a Powershot SX510HS as we are not really familiar with the camera so he shown us how fast we can capture motion with the camera high shutter speed setting.
On my hand I am holding a Powershot N, will talk about it later in this post.
This is my favourite shot taken from Powershot SX510HS due to the lighting.

At the outdoor area of Game Fest 2013 we saw something interesting and decided to try it out.
Say "Hi" to Samantha the red transporter, each of the transporter actually have got their own name. I am not crazy.
I remember myself asking "Who invented this?" not because I don't like the invention, is because it is amazing. It sense our standing position and control where to go just by sensing our body movement, but the scary thing is it only has 2 wheel.
Photos from Canon Powershot N - $399
Powershot N is the first camera Canon has product with creative filter, it has a very small body size around the size of your palm, a CMOS sensor, flash and WiFi! Now you see how amazing a small camera can be? With a large sensor that is the same size as DSLR means letting more light into your photograph means better quality photo.

He is the sport photographer I talked about just now, he is now showing us how to take a selfie with the Powershot N.
Below are the creative filter that are created out of randomness from the Powershot N, just press the shutter once and it will gives you 6 images from a photo with different cropping and filter:
One don't just simply walk pass me when I am taking pictures
Awesome isn't it? You can capture a moments of life even without knowing how or what to frame.
