NOT to be missed : Nuffnang Bloggers Symposium – Sponsored by Canon!
Hey hey hey … so here’s THE NEWS that I’ve been wanting to share with everyone!
Early next month (Saturday, 3 April, to be exact!), there’ll be this Bloggers Symposium, the first ever, organised by Nuffnang, and sponsored by Canon!
Basically it’s an INTERACTIVE conference (on PHOTOGRAPHY and BLOGGING) where the speakers get to share their experiences and tips, and the participants get to ask just about any questions.
During the event, there will be FIVE separate workshops, held in FIVE different rooms, and six different bloggers will speak on FIVE different photography and blogging topics.
And the topics are:
Lifestyle, Food, Fashion (blogshops), Technology and of course, PARENTING!
*smile*
I’ve been invited to speak on the Parenting Photography Workshop! Yes, it truly is an honour!
I look forward to sharing heaps of photography tips there! (And perhaps even some blogging and parenting-related topics too if you like! Just throw the questions over, and we get the discussion going!)
Anyway, it’ll be a fun yet insightful session!
I SO look forward to meeting and chatting with fellow bloggers, parents, and blog readers IN PERSON!
SO excited!
…
Okay now, here’s MORE info.
REGISTRATION
It’s FREE of charge (Thanks to Nuffnang and Canon!).
You’ll have to register online (Click HERE) and sign up for the topic of your choice (choose PARENTING, yes? Yes?)
There are only 60 seats available for each workshop topic though, so please HURRY and register!
And please do share the news with friends and everyone else, so they too can benefit from the workshop!
…
WHO IS THIS PARENTING PHOTOGRAPHY WORKSHOP FOR?
Just about ANYONE.
Come and join me at the workshop if you’re ANY of the following:
– A blogger
– A parent
– A photo enthusiast who’s keen to find out more about photography using your own camera
…
CAN WE BRING ALONG OUR KIDS?
SURE!
The organiser will arrange a children movie screening next to the Parenting Workshop Room!
*A fantastic idea, if you ask me!*
So really, parents with kids have NO reasons for not being able to attend the workshop! *smile*
Btw, if you DO have someone who can help and babysit your little ones that day, I’d personally recommend coming without them just for that one event. This way, you can totally focus on the event’s programme without minding the little ones at the same time.
BUT, if you’re just like us who have no one to babysit Anya and Vai, the FOUR of us will be there at the Bloggers Symposium that day! Yep, Anya and Vai will be there too!
[Not sure if they’re willing to volunteer and be the ‘subjects of photography’ during the ‘live demo’ at my workshop though, haha]
…
I SHOOT WITH A POCKET CAMERA, WILL THAT BE OKAY?
Definitely!
I shoot with a pocket camera too, and using one should NEVER stop us from capturing life’s precious moments!
(THIS is one of the things I’d be sharing at the workshop!)
[Shots I took over the past years using a Canon point-and-shoot camera]
Some people have told me how Anya and Vai are relatively comfortable in front of the camera, and this makes it easier for us to produce better photos of them.
While it’s quite true to some extent, there are still other tips and photography approaches that can really help us capture moments of those who are perhaps more ‘camera shy’.
Here, check this out.
Below are some samples of the Outdoor Shoots I did for different families.
[Yes, just in case you are not aware of it so far, I DO outdoor shoots for families too *smile*]
As we all know, not all kids and parents are naturally comfortable in front of the camera, but yet their photos can still turn out heartwarming and precious.
And at the Parenting Photography Workshop, I’ll share with you these photography approaches and tips!
…
YOU CAN STAND A CHANCE TO WIN CANON POWERSHOT S90!
Just last week I wrote a post on this cool point-and-shoot camera! (Read about it HERE)
And now you can WIN and OWN one too!
(Well, as they say, ‘How can you WIN it, if you’re not IN it!)
Here’s how:
>> By simply registering yourself and ATTENDING the event, you’re IN THE DRAW to win the camera!
There are TWO cameras to be won this way! And if you’re one of the first 150 registrants to arrive at the event that day, your chance of winning the camera is increased by FIVE times! (ie. they’ll have five cards with your name on them in the draw!)
>> You can also take part in a Mini Photo Contest, if you wish.
Simply send a photo you’ve taken with the theme ‘HAPPINESS’ together with your registration details to this email: myhappiness@nuffnang.com
Best 5 photos will be displayed at the event itself and ONE winner will bring home a brand new Canon PowerShot S90!
COOL!
…
So, what are you waiting for?
Hurry and get yourself (and your friends and spouses!) registered NOW!

Wen:
Thanks for coming! 🙂 And thanks for dropping by and sharing your thoughts about it!
Of course you’re most welcome to visit my blog anytime yeah (sign up on the RSS feed is one of the best ways, I guess 🙂
It has been a pleasure meeting u at the symposium! Actually, I didn’t know about your blog until then. Had awesome photo tips! Keep up the good work! 🙂
Daphne:
Hi Daphne … Nuffnang said the registration was overwhelming and they had to unfortunately shortlist the attendees (ie. not everyone who registered gets to attend).
So hopefully you’ll get an email from Nuffnang to confirm your attendance ya!
Hope to see you there!
g.chan:
YAY! 😀
I’ll see you there ya !!
I registered too! As usual, I’m terribly late but hopefully they reserve a place for me. Looking forward to meeting you there.
I have been confirmed by Nuffnang to the event..yay!!
see you at the symposium, Ms.Leonny..=D
I have sent the picture!! Finger crossed.=D
Thanks for the info ya..Gud luck for the symposium..=D
Hi Greta,
You asked earlier about submitting your photo and entering the mini contest (ie. can you still submit though you’re still waiting for your registration to be ‘confirmed’).
I’ve checked with Nuffnang, and they said they’ll shortlist 5 best entries and if you’re one of the shortlisted one, you’ll be granted a seat to the symposium! 🙂
All the best!
thanks..=D
Milly:
Hi Milly, that sounds GREAT!
Look fwd to your blog entry too!
See you at the event! 🙂
g.chan:
Hi Greta,
Most likely it’s because they’ve received more than 60 registrants for my workshop by the time you registered, which means not everyone who registers get to attend.
My recommendation is: do block that date and time for now and wait for the RSVP email. Hope you get to come ya …
As for the mini photo contest and whether or not you can still send in and participate if you’re attending … I’ll find out for you ya …
Hi Leonny..I have registered and can’t wait to meet you and learn some photographic tips from you..will blog about it too!
Ms. Leonny, I have registered and has received the confirmation email, however it says that we need to wait for RSVP email to confirm attendance for the event..So does it means that we are not confirmed to attend the event yet? and can we take part with the mini photo contest already with only the confirmation email?
sorry to bother you, coz I have emailed them but don’t get any reply..

Hi Winnie,
Thanks for letting me know how you can’t access the nuffnang website.
I haven’t encountered any problems accessing it so far though. Hmm. I’ll share it with the organiser and let you know ya.
For now, perhaps you can try and access it again in an hour or so?

I can’t seem to access the Nuffnang website, any other ways to register for the Symposium?
