Last week I was MC'ing
at the Sony World Photography Awards in Cannes. This is a relatively new week-long
event (currently in its second year) that celebrates and rewards all kinds of
photography. There's a wide range of exhibitions on display at various locations
on, or close to La Croisette and an awards ceremony gala dinner evening
presenting awards to the different photographic categories. This truly is a
week dedicated to photographers and their work!
Sony have been a part
of it since the festival began and this year Sony launched some impressive new
cameras - like the alpha900, great
for capturing motion shots and the CybershotHX1- which for the casual/lazy
photographer like myself you may be more drawn to ie: does all the hard work
for you with pre- settings:)
I was MC'ing for the
week and it was a lot of fun – I learnt a few freestyle football tricks and was
blown away by the Parkour guys – but must confess didn’t fancy trying it myself
! The crowds were from Italy, France, Germany, Spain, basically all over
Europe…….it was hard to remember what language I was speaking in by the end of
the weekJ
