Best Photo of the Year

Betul ke bila orang selalu cakap yg gambar tak pandai menipu? dan betul ke gambar jugak boleh menceritakan sesuatu?

Pada aku, gambar mampu memberi kesan sedih, suka, riang, kusam, kenangan, dan macam² lagi la kalu kita pandai menilai maksud gambar tu..betul tak?

Bebaru nih, masa aku tgh baca newspaper 'The Sydney Morning Herald' yang company tempat aku keje skang ni subscribe, terperasan la satu satu imej yg cukup aku kagum! Serius beb! Bila aku baca story tuh, rupanya imej tu adalah imej yg memenangi anugerah photo of the year 2008 anjuran World Press: world news and views around the world.

Semua gambar² yg terpilih adalah hasil snap oleh wartawan² seluruh dunia dan di shorlisted dalam kelompok gambar terbaik. Pemenang dipilih menerusi gambar yg original, tiada proses suntingan atau editing serta menceritakan sesuatu tema. Giler gempaq kan!! Sorry la pada yg dok snap² pastu dok edit² segala cam aku slalu buat, tak yah la berangan nak masuk competition cenggini.. PASTIKAN gambar anda ORIGINAL yerk..! (kena kat batang idung aku sendiri.. kuikuikui!!!)

Ok guys, setelah di google, kat bwh ni la photos yg aku ckp tuh. Korang nilai la sendiri setiap gambar yg menang tu worth it or not.. saja je nak buat spekulasikan..:P bermula dari gambar yg memenangi hadiah utama utk Photo of the Year 2008 hinggalah ke juara kategori. Enjoys!!

Tu la antara gambar yg memenangi awards for best photos of the year 2008 anjuran World Press. Betul la nampaknya bila org bercakap yg gambar boleh memawa maksud tertentu kan.. Sebab gambar yg baik mampu menceritakan semuanya. Tu pandangan peribadi aku.

Semua orang boleh bergambar.. dan semua orang boleh mengambil gambar! tapi, kalu gambar hanya sekadar gambar..tak der la motif nya pulak kan. Biarlah berseni kan.. :P (learn from experienced!! ahaha..!)

P/S: Bila la aku nak ada camera nih! Bergambar suka pulak, tapi camera tak der.. SEDIH!! hasrat nak lak memiliki DSLR Nikon D90,, dah idam lama nih... bajet plak asik larik sampai tak sempat nak kejar... dapat digital camera yg besa pon jadi la..huaarrggh.. Ada sesaper yg nak kasi sponsor ker..??? keskeskeskes
