@benedict: hi, chrismalinao here. i do the website and the gallery. it’s really quite sad that we do not have batch 1 there in the gallery, am quite bothered by it also. but the photos did not reach me and nobody seems to know how to find them. i think i have communicated this matter a while back. if you have all 10 winning pics (1st to 5th place portrait and still life) i’d be glad to post them immediately in the gallery. thanks!

ok, guys, let’s not start word slinging here. we appreciate everybody’s participation. fact is, we do have long time pros attending our basic workshops as refresher course, and serious amateurs who have been shooting for a long time also attend our basic for affirmation of what they thought they have learned. these advanced shooters do help the complete novices during the workshops and somehow elevate the quality of the workshops. cheers, everybody!

Rick obviously I’m no beginner, pero if u read under advanced class, you have to enroll first sa Basic class. so I had no choice. If u want tayo na lang dalawa mag contest =) and for the record Rick it’s not compliment – its COMPLEMENTARY COLORS LOL =)

Congratulations! But the first placer’s portrait photo obviously does not look like a beginner’s. Mismatch: advance vs. beginners. That is not a compliment though.
