As you may or may not know, the third VJC-Canon Exposé, a photography exhibition collaboration by Photosoc and Canon, was held in VJC last Saturday. It was a day where student and teacher photography enthusiasts were out in force learning new techniques and sharing their photography skills with one another.

One of the highlights of the event was the launching of the Canon EOS Academy Portal, where students and teachers across Singapore can share photographs and exchange tips on taking the best photographs.

Video SLRs were also introduced during the event, where lucky participants got to try their hands at taking videos with SLRs in a workshop conducted by Mr Yeo Wee Han, a local photo-videographer from Canon. Filming with SLRs is definitely a different experience than filming with video cameras, as the participants got to find out and experience firsthand.

If  you had been there, you would have had been treated to the sight of cars such as a BMW and a Lamborghini parked in VJC’s bus bay, where shutterbugs were eagerly taking photographs of the shiny cars and the people milling around the cars were oohing and aahing at sleekness of the cars.

Events are never complete without freebies, and excluding the Canon goodie bag that every participant got, stations were set up where photographers could print out an A4 print of one of their photos. There were also free cleaning services for photographers with Canon SLRs. Fantastic prizes were also given away in the lucky draw – 2 lucky students walked away with a Crumpler camera bag each.

All in all, it was a fantastic experience for newbies and old hands alike. Kudos to Photosoc and Canon for providing students and teachers from all over Singapore such an eye-opening experience, and we hope to see a VJC-Canon Exposé IV in VJC next year!
