We speak to our top 3 winners about what inspired them. \u00a0 A challenge to make things different First prize winner Bryan Goh has captured alluring Little Guilin at sunrise more than 10 times and the CCK estate resident was surprised but gratified to have won this year. Bryan\u2019s winning shot of Little Guilin at sunrise. Bryan (right) receiving his prize from Mr Gan Kim Yong, MP for CCK estate and Trade &amp; Industry Minister. He said: \u201cLiving near Bukit Batok Town Park, I love heading there to capture the picturesque Little Guilin over and over again. \u201cI never get bored because as a photographer, I enjoy the challenge of finding a way to make my photographs of the same place look different. By shooting from different angles or at different times of the day, I\u2019ll get a variety of photos which do not look the same. \u201c Bryan added it is probably common for photographers to return to the same location. \u201cIt is a \u201cnecessary dedication\u201d to get a better shot.\u201d He said he is lucky his job as a real estate agent offers him the freedom to indulge in his hobby. On mornings when he does not have to start work early, and if the weather promises to be good, he would be up at the crack of dawn to traipse to some picturesque spot to shoot. \u00a0 Always bring your camera! Photography, for second-prize winner Yong Kuo Hoong, is a reminder that life is unpredictable. The Hong Kah North resident said he visited Kranji Marshes at least four times, and he\u2019s never managed to encounter the same lighting conditions as on his first visit (pictured below). Sadly, all he had with him then was his mobile phone. He said: \u201cThe view was breath-taking and refreshing. It was something I had never seen before. The sun was bright, and the sky was blue.\u201d But the weather thwarted him on his subsequent visits, though he felt he couldn\u2019t just blame Mother Nature. As a photographer, he needed to find ways around it. At last, on his final visit, he managed to capture his winning shot with a gentle sunrise. \u201cWas I satisfied? Yes. But I felt that the weather could have been better. From then on, my motto was: Always bring a camera with you!\u201d said the teacher with a laugh. Hong Kah North MP Dr Amy Khor Lean Suan presenting Kuo Hoong his prize. \u00a0 For residents, by residents Even though a photo of Eagle Point at Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve had won the top prize in the 2022 CCK Town Council calendar, Hong Kah North resident See Chin Foo was determined to capture the picturesque spot through his lens. The beauty of photography, said the IT sales manager, is that \u201cno two photos are the same\u201d. Every photographer has his angle or technique. Many people have been to Eagle Point, but few would have seen the place in the way he had captured it. The long exposure he used for his photo (above) revealed a magical landscape where the water and clouds appeared milky and blurry, as if in a painting.
