SUP! RED CAMPERS MAKE SOME NOISE! /inserts cheer from whichever tribe you're from/

Did you attend Red Camp 7? If you did, how was it?

Red Camp 7 happened from Nov 22 to 24, and secondary school students from all over Singapore came down for a 3 day camp! There are 5 different tribes:

Over the 3 days, the campers would go around campus and visit the different schools. As for me, I went to the School of InfoComm Technology! 

Some guys playing the new Microsoft Xbox Kinetic! Hahahaha the next picture shows how they looked like from the side. :P

Hehe they looked kinda silly jumping up and down, but that's the fun of it!

Was trying to catch them on cam interacting with the computer, but then she looked up and smiled prettily for the cam! 

These Red Campers were playing with a software developed by the ICT students!

Okay after all that I headed down to the Dot on level 4:

This was just one of the many displays they had up! I was really quite impressed by their drawings!

Lucky people. They got free drawing lessons!

Posed shot! They were sitting down and taking selcas initially, so I asked to take a pic of them!

So after all that, I went and made my way down to the Atrium to check out some of the CCA booths!

Rowing against the on-screen competitor!

IT'S HOCKEY TIME! Let's see how much goals you can score!

Demonstration for the Archery CCA! A Ninja SL showing a Red Camper how to work the bow and arrows. 

Hahahaha okay so maybe she didn't say that. But her face sure looked like it! :P

And what's a camp without some camwhoring! :P (Or selca or zi lian pai zhao or whatever you want to call it.)

Say cheese!

The Ninja SLs!

Sometimes I think they have camera sensors or something! Hehe auto-reaction: smiling everytime a camera points their way!

Look at the insane amount of gadgets these BA students have! They were initially waiting for the next batch of Red Campers to come by, but when I asked to take a pic, they willingly obliged and even showed off their iPhones! Ahahahaha iPhones dominate the pic, with a couple of stray Berries and Androids sticking out. Quite cool right? Hehe.

Hur hur she noticed my cam and smiled in reaction. 

And this guy is the bomb ahahahahahaa. I was trying to take a picture of the guys boxing behind, but then he jumped out from nowhere (LITERALLY) and into my viewfinder, and although I was stunned, my finger clicked the shutter button without thinking. Photobomb lol =__=

Okay. Besides taking innumerable shots of selca, the Red Campers also did stuff like.....

Take part in group activities and get captured on film... non-stop.

Sit in circles and take part in group bonding!

Learn a dance at the Convention Centre taught by the New Revolving Age (NRA) dance group!

And last but not least, a supersized version of Blow Wind Blow!

And that's it! If you missed Red Camp 7 this year, don't fret 'cause in a couple of months, NP will be having our open house so you can come down and check whazzup in our school! It'll be from 6 to 8 Jan (11 am to 6 pm), so book down those dates ok!

Also, if you like taking photographs, you should know that NP has tied up a contest with Samsung to present to you the Samsung Asia Photo Challenge! (You should have seen the announcement on MEL~) So... Why should you join?

Because..... TADAH!

The prizes are really damn awesome! I had the chance to try out the Samsung NX100 for a full three weeks (wait for my post about it soon!), and boy can I tell you, it makes you want to shoot pictures all the time. It's small and light, yet has the similar capabilities to a DSLR so you can really experiment with stuff like depth of field, lighting, shutter speed and all.

 

But besides the pro features included in the camera, it also has cool functions for Beauty shots, Night shots and stuff which I'll talk about next time. Hur hur. The Beauty Shot scene mode was probably the clincher, because it makes camwhoring so easy (hehehe), and you'll looking great even if you have spots all over your face!

Alright, the contest ends Nov 30, so there's still time for you to go join if you haven't already done so. Download the entry form and just submit it by next Tuesday! The good thing about this is that you DON'T need to use a DSLR or digicam to shoot it. You can just use your camera phone, and most of them have at least 3 megapixels, which is more than enough to fulfill the requirement of minimum 1800 pixels.

So what are you waiting for! Go out and shoot some photos over the weekend. I know I will! :)
