12th competition ( women activity )

the story behind

we had almost 1 year competition, amazing right? And we choose women activity as the next theme. It was challenging, Adi and Rita went to Bandung. I just take some photos in my way home from airport and one that i choose was taken from the car and the second photo i took with my cellular phone Nokia N73 on my way to the office.

the controversial and result

I won the controversial favorite winner. Why it called controversial? The other friends that not choose me were disagreed. They mocked me that my pic didn't fit with the theme. They said it wasn't an activity. I still don't know why they said it wasn't an activity. See this favorite winner picture:

our division's favorite photo - dekap kekasih ( embrace the beloved) - cesario tarigan

our division's favorite photo - jamu keliling (traveling jamu's seller) - rita dewi

(see picture in the below)

Well, at least they were happy that my pic didn't win the jury's voices. The jury are Aniceta Sabrina (Australia), Ir. Doni Irvan (Medan City), Ivan Peace (Jogjakarta City), Shinichi Kudo (Japan) all three are from fotografer.net and another two are from ASIALENS: Puji Rachmat and Umbo Karundeng. We have a new winner, Ichwan Hidayat. And had two persons in 2nd place. Here is the result:

2nd place - menunggu kereta (waiting for the train) - adi kumara

3rd place - menyusuri jalan ( go along the street) - cesario tarigan

11th competition ( flower part 2 )

the story behind

We had difficulty when choosing our next theme. It had to be easy to find object but still challenging. Finally we come up with an idea, why don't try the flower again for the next theme and using it as an evaluation for the members. We all agreed.

the result

Me and Adi still had a strict competition, and again Adi's pics was the favorite among members. The first round result was that my pic choosen as the favorite by our division with tight score:

our division favorite photo - deep inside - cesario tarigan

( see picture below)

And the external jury result didn't made Adi pics as the winner. The jury are Amelia Wirogo, Janette Najoan, Zulfikli (Gorontalo city) all three are from fotografer.net and Dodi A.S. (ASIALENS). Here is the result:

1st place - berkembang sendiri (blossomed out alone) - cesario tarigan

2nd place - deep inside - cesario tarigan

2nd place - dragon floweret - adi kumara

3rd place - pesona si kuning (the yellow's enchantment) - verawaty

10th competition ( water )

the story behind

Adi Kumara still struggle to reach the first place. With the next theme: Water, he had something in his mind. Another friend join this club, Aris Himawan. We all had something to try with this challenging theme. When all contestants gave the photos, Adi Kumara was the favorite. But i still believe i would have good result.

the result

because many friends in my division asked to be jury again, we have 2 different assessments. First is using external jury to choose the winner and the second is our friend (as internal jury) choose their favorite. So external jury choose 1-2-3 rank, our friend choose only 1 favorite. The first round is internal jury. And the favorite is Adi Kumara

the story behind

Anglina join our club, so 9 members with 27 pics in total! WoW. After the last result, i still trust my friends to be the jury. That's because the next theme not to hard to choose. Nature or you can call panoramic beauty is simple. Taking the nature beauty and show them to the world. But taking its beauty not easy as to say. I was lucky to have traveled to Bali before the competition held. I choose my pictures, actually i didn't want my friends know those were from Bali. So i just choose 3 pics that i took in Dreamland beach, because the scenery not too specific.

the result

I won the 1st and 2nd place none of my friend choose my 3rd photo. Anglina was lucky too, she was traveled to Lampung and had the 3rd place. Yanto Susilo took the pic in University of Indonesia complex - Depok. Here is the result:

I joined the fotografer.net forum at september 6th, 2006, and after i joined the forum i had some progress. I'm not blind anymore. There was another friend who join the competition, Rita Dewi. So 8 members in 24 pictures total. And i still the one who arrange the competition. Idul Fitri is feast celebrating the end. We had couple days to hunting photos. I was hunting in the Rawa Lumbu market ( Bekasi ) with my girlfriend (now she is my wife). Took some photos with her. Right now i had a new gun: Olympus E 500 DSLR. I just didn't now how to use it yet, but i still went to the market. My girl use the V610 but she too shy to make photos. I took more than 100 photos.

3rd place - mudik by train - yanto susilo

4th competition ( principles of our work )

story behind

4Th themes i guess so difficult to other member that only 3 member collect the photos. The theme itself was our principles in our work, well i don't think i have to mention all the principles but hard works, integrity are some of them.

Finally I had 3 pictures, Zulfikar 2 pictures and Adi gave me just 1 photo. Thus, there was no jury. The winner was the one who had most photos to collect. And here is the winner:

1st place - maju terus pantang turun - cesario tarigan

3rd competition ( Independence Day )

story behind

With 7 members we had 21 pics in total. I really busy to arrange the next valuation. But i was happy to do. I was planning to take picture on some interesting places, but my parents had another plan. We were going to Merdeka Square with my little brother and sister for visiting a flower and fruits expo (left picture is the rose-apple fruit and Merdeka Statue behind). Pheww.... fortunately there were some events to celebrate the independence day. Lucky me. I took some nice pictures in the expo and in the events (panjat pinang). Here some pictures:

After leaving the square we were going to kalimalang. Usually there were some interesting events, but we were too late, the show was over but the street still too crowded. We used onether road and going home. I told to myself " i'm finish".

the result

After all the form all distributed and had been returned, i didn't make to the big three. I think i was choosing wrong pictures to compete. Here is the result:

1st place - ber 5 1 7 an (5 in 1 purpose) - yanto susilo

2nd place - iring iringan (parade) - jamie tan

3rd place - fight - jamie tan

3rd place - hias malam merdeka (independent's night decorated) - wilbert wetik

2nd competition ( insects )

the story behind

I was hunting in my homeyard again, it was more difficult than flower. I could easily taking flowers pics because the flower are steady but the insects are moving. Finally i have some nice pics and ready for the next competition. Because there were 6 members, we had 18 pictures to compete for the 2nd competition. One by one members came to me and give their picture. They asked my opinion and asked to enhanced the pics. Some of the pics really amazing, i was doubt that my pics will be the winner. Adi kumara was the favourite among others. The night before competition begin, Jamie asked me to chooce 3 pictures and enhanced them, and hoping to compete with Adi's pics.

the result

In the morning I arrange the file name and distribute the pics and form to jury's participants. After the forms were returned to me, i was amazed, Jamie had most voices than Adi. I myself just able to reach the 3rd place. Here is the result:

1st place - dragonfly - jamie tan

2nd place - fuit's fly - adi kumara

3rd place - beetle - adi kumara

3rd place - lit upon - cesario tarigan

first competition ( flower )

the judgment

This is it! Our first competition! Wow... we were so exciting and all of competitors collected their best 3 pics to my PC. All are 12 pictures. I arrange the name,title and i arrange the assessment form to the jury. The jury were all friends in my division that like to choose. The form itself consists of titles on the left and a blank spot in the right. The jury have to choose the best three according to their judgment. So they choose 1 pic for the best rank, 1 one the second and 1 for the third place.

how to make final result

The forms will be distribute to all jury's participants. They choose 1-2-3 rank, and than i collect them and make the average. 1st place have 3 points, 2Nd place have 2 point and 3rd place have 1 point. For example: bunga berkembang.jpg have 3 jury choose for 1 place, 1 jury choose for 2Nd place and 4 jury choose for 3rd place, thus bunga berkembang.jpg have 15 points ((3*3) + (1*2) + (4*1)).

the final result

After taking 1 day for all jury to make their choice, i begun to complete the final result. And then the result is . . . I WON! Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm the first rank and the 3rd in this very first competition.
