Tuna Festival Photo Photo Contest Finalists (Float Parade of Lights Category)
Ice Cold Tuna

Ice Cold Tuna

Choosing the winners under this category was the most difficult.  We had to balance between day shots and night shots since this is the first time that the floats are lighted.  In the end, six entries got the nod of the judges.  This shot is by  Gensan Camera Club incoming president Omar Gallinero.  The hues of blue punctuated by the great float design won the nod of the judges.  ICE COLD TUNA is a winner.

Walang personalan...Trabaho lang.

Six entries made it to the final round making each photographer richer by two thousand pesos.  Gensan Camera Club outgoing president Dong Pading shows his acumen for the craft.  Using a fish eye lens, he captured what is for me the best shot in this category.  WALANG PERSONALAN…TRABAHO LANG shows Dong’s passion for photography.
