Results Of August Photography Competition!!

The first photography competition of the Club was based on the theme 'Go Green', and we received an amazing response from the members of the club.

The judging for the competition was done by renowned Goan photographer Mr. Alirio Saldanha, Director of the Stenodac Academy Of Professional Photography And Cinematography. Here are the results :

1st Place: Navin Pai - Green, whichever way you choose!!


This picture is my interpretation of the theme, which is GO GREEN. Shown in the foreground are blades of grass, painted green by the August rains, while the background shows the famous windmill in GEC, which is considered one of the greenest, most environment friendly way of generating electricity...Going green can be done in multiple ways, and this pic highlights two of the methods....i.e planting plants, and using renewable sources of energy.

2nd Place: Nikhil Kakodkar - Go Green!


Monsoon is the time of the year when everything in nature comes to life. Its that time when all around Goa we get to see many green fields. I took this snap in one of the fields, and it took me a lot of time to properly focus this droplet of rain water with my cell phone camera.

3rd Place: Sagar Kamat - Have a green heart


In these times of increased ecological crisis, global warming and extinctions, it's important for everybody to think, act and live our lives in a more environmentally friendly way. This is a pic of a leaf of one of the many wild plants that magically blossom during the monsoons. can this be nature's way of reminding us of our responsibilities? is it pleading us to have 'A Green Heart'?

4th Place:Aakash Rodrigues - Parrot


Got kinda lucky with this one.. one morning, i heard a sort of screeching outside, and my mom tells me, "Thats probably a parrot there." I think to myself, "Hey.. parrots are green right?"
hehe. i rush downstairs with my camera, and this is what i got.

5th Place:Aakash Rodrigues -Newborn.


A "newborn" leaf right after a steady drizzle in the morning... Freshness at it's best. :)

6th Place: Noah Silveira -The Dreamer


Gazing towards the horizon, straight at the world outside
Wondering, 'will mother earth will survive?'
Hoping that mankind will stop abusing her, sometime.

I watch the sun go down like everyone of us
Im hoping that the dawn will bring a sign
A better place for those who will come after us this time.

The green we see today will just be a puff of smoke,
or a really good dream to reminisce.
once the Green is gone,
It'll be too late to 'Go Green'.

So I guess I'm just a dreamer, dreaming of better days.




Congratulations to all the winners!! Great going guys!!
