Canon Photomarathon 2012 (3rd Nov) experience

Today's the best day ever! The Canon Photomarathon is the best experience of competing with photographers of different ages and categories. There are the Student Category, and the Open Category. I went to different places like Gardens By The Bay, Orchard, Marina Bay Sands and Bugis. I made lots of friends and they even tagged along with me when I went out to take pictures.
 I took this picture while standing on the bridge that connects us to Gardens By The Bay from Marina Bay Sands. There were many photographers that were at the same positon, but one will have to find the best angle to capture the perfect shot.
 One will have to find the correct angle to capture an eye and the body of the steel dragonfly.
 
I will have to set the settings to shutter priority and have multi shots in order to have this shot of a humming bird flying off this plant.
 This picture is about a man sitting down on a bench reading a book and I thought that if I capture this man with the Marina Bay Sands building, it would be more artistic.
This picture is a picture of a plant that I shot with aperture priority so that the back of the plant would be blurred.
 
This picture shows the back view of a humming bird whose action is like a mighty eagle soaring into the bright sky... The shutter speed of the camera has to be very high so that the camera will be able to capture the wonderful moment. 
This was the only time that the humming bird was still, so that it would be easier to capture instead of capturing a fast moving humming bird...
 
This is my favourite shot that I took along Bugis Street.  I also used aperture priority so that the picture would be clearer and the background would be blurred.
