On Tuesday, 16th November I attended Halton's Public Speaking Contest 2010 as the events photographer along with another student from my college photography course, James Wrigley who was also a photographer for the evening. The contest was held at Kingsway College and it is a chance for all schools within the borough to showcase some of their best students from both key stage 3 and key stage 4 who excel in english especially verbal communication. As part of the contest each student has around 3 - 5 minutes to discuss or argue on a subject of their choice... the subjects ranged from global warming, society to music. All students who participated did really well as this isnt as easy as it sounds and I should know as I was one of the competing students in the first public speaking contest although I came second, I really enjoyed the opportunity and it was a useful tool to develop. This was my first attempt at photographing an event as it was only the third week into my course after I had started although I feel I did quite well and the evening went well. It was an excellent learning opportunity for me and I learnt alot, such as how to quickly set up my camera for when I didnt get the shot I wanted and to take as many shots as possible in the amount of time. I feel this opportunity helped me in my course as one of the projects was a documentary based project which is similar to what I did on the evening of this event. Below are a few of the images I captured at the event...
