Kahayagang Asya 2008

Listen to article

Katapos lang nga mibalik gikan sa usa ka tibuong hapon nga paglakaw sa Photo World Asia 2008 (ang uban nagtawag niini og PhotoWorld Manila). Sama sa kasagaran, ang Glorietta Activity Center puno na sa mga hobbyist ug enthusiast nga mga photographer samtang adunay tanang mga benta ug discount promos.

Adunay usab ang kasagaran nga Cosplay modeling contest bisan dili ko miapil sa daghang mga photographer nga nagkuha og litrato duol sa stage kay wala koy dala og flash. Nagpabilin akong dakong bahin sa Canon booth diin adunay print out sa bond paper nga nagsulti "Free Memory Cards kung ipakita nato ang inyong Canon dSLR". Sa tinuod, kini lang para sa unang 50 ka mga tawo nga nag-own og kamera ug ang capacity kay 128MB ra.

Canon Models

Apan ang ilang photo booth, usa ka show stopper. Kahit mga dili Canon dSLR users, nagdugay-dugay sa palibot sa tulo nga modelo. Sama sa PhotoWorld Manila kaniadto, Canon (sa akong biased) opinion, ang pinakadako nga gidaghanon sa mga kurioso nga tawo, ilabi na sa ilang demo units sama sa 5D nga gikabit sa EF 300mm 2.8L IS USM telephoto lens.

Photoworld Asia 2008

Kini usab ang panahon nga nag-expend ako og dako nga kwarta sa usa ka single lens. Aduna nay telephoto lens ko (Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6) pero kini gikan sa Canon mao ang akong gipangita ug gihangyoan sulod sa katapusan sa usa ka tuig. Tungod kay ang Canon Lens Sale gitagana ug anaa na ang unit, naghunahuna ko nga oras na aron buhaton ang dakong lompat -- ang EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM mao ang akong unang luxury line sa lens gikan sa Canon.

Kasubo nga dili kini makadako sa akong pre-nup photo shoot kaniadtong Sabado. Pero, ang hobby niini talagsaon kaayo nga mahal. Ang PhotoWorld Asia 2008 nagsugod kaniadtong Enero 31 ug matapos sa Pebrero 5, 2008 sa Glorietta Activity Center.

@ sylver – intramuros naman!

@ jayvee & luis – shoot tayo!

@ alibata – was talking to the GM of JT PhotoWorld 3 weeks ago about this. I was there last year too.

@ Nors – yeah, was very surprised because I thought it’s just a metrowide event. Went around looking for more booth but found much fewer participants than last year.

I think we should be more careful when we put title to an event. ‘Photo World Asia’ connotes that there are Exhibitors from Asian countries. Are there Exhibitors from other countries? I did not see any.

Strictly speaking, from what I learned in Milan, Italy during my one year study on Exhibition Management Course, we can only title an event as an ‘international’ event when there is a ratio of 70-30 amongst Exhibitors, meaning, 30% of total exhibit space is occupied by foreign exhibitors.

Thus, saying ‘Photo World Asia’ is a misnomer..it should be ‘Photo World Manila’… to give it a proper name and title.
