So in conjuction with this soccer tournament, we have partnered Canon to organised a Soccer Photography Seminar. Yes and that's why your dear Papa Cheng has not been around since you guys (JC1s) have taken over from your seniors cause I was simply so busy with all these and nary a chance to sit down proper and share with you guys the details.
Here's the poster... acutally I self created this, so pardon the lack of asthetic sense. Did it in < 1 hour so that I can print out something for for distribution to the JC1 classes.
This seminar is particularly relevant to us since we will be covering next year's school sports events and also a good time to reflect what we could have done better for this year's sports coverage.
