Test Drive that New Camera
This is a similar story for many photographers. A few years ago you saw an amazing camera with great lens. Then, a few months ago you went to the local store and bought the camera of your dreams. The first thing you did was to take shots of your friends, family (yourself more than you would like to admit) local landmarks and you have been down to the local park.
But now you are left with an empty feeling. What you really want to do is go on a real adventure that can test your skills as a photographer and to test drive that new camera. The organisers of the Kedah International Photography Awards (KIPA) understand where you are in your life at the moment.
Kedah has long been known as the rice bowl of the country but there is so much more to offer the photographers. “The first thing that comes to mind is the blue sky. There is very little pollution in Kedah so the sky is really blue, which makes for great shots,” stated Hazrita Hatta, Secretariat of KIPA.
To assist photographers KIPA has developed several “Photo Trails” from the mountains, lakes and rivers, marine parks, ancient ruins, historical sites, beaches, cultural places to the iconic rice fields for photographers to discover something new.
“There are some amazing destinations in Kedah for photographers and we noticed that the Kedah state government is making efforts to bring tourists to mainland Kedah, but when a Google search can only find limited photos or in some cases you cannot find any photos of some destinations, it is not easy. On a positive note, the dedicated photo trails will be easier for photographers to take photos of places in the mainland,” continued Hazrita
So whether you book your flight on the official airline Firefly or enjoy the drive, there is no reason to wait. Photographers have a chance to win some amazing prizes including cash and stays at some of the best resorts in Asia.
