DCIM Show 2011 Postponed

We regret to inform our readers that Digital Camera, Imaging and Media Show 2011 (DCIM), will be postponed until later part of this year due to the disruption of various related goods and products as a result of the devastating earthquake in Japan. Our thoughts go out to those affected by this tragedy and we respect current conditions which will likely prevent us from organizing a great show for photography enthusiasts. We seek your kind understanding in this matter and do look forward to seeing you at a later date this year at the Mid Valley Exhibition Centre! Do look out for the official announcement which will be coming in due time. For enquiries, kindly email us at dcim@velocity-media.net

What can we do during Earth Hour? Yes, is LIGHT PAINTING..!!

ABOUT EARTH HOUR

Earth Hour started in 2007 in Sydney, Australia when 2.2 million individuals and more than 2,000 businesses turned their lights off for one hour to take a stand against climate change. Only a year later and Earth Hour had become a global sustainability movement with more than 50 million people across 35 countries/territories participating. Global landmarks such as the Sydney Harbour Bridge, CN Tower in Toronto, Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, and Rome’s Colosseum, all stood in darkness, as symbols of hope for a cause that grows more urgent by the hour.

In March 2009, hundreds of millions of people took part in the third Earth Hour. Over 4000 cities in 88 countries/territories officially switched off to pledge their support for the planet, making Earth Hour 2009 the world’s largest global climate change initiative.

On Saturday 27 March, Earth Hour 2010 became the biggest Earth Hour ever. A record 128 countries and territories joined the global display of climate action. Iconic buildings and landmarks from Asia Pacific to Europe and Africa to the Americas switched off. People across the world from all walks of life turned off their lights and came together in celebration and contemplation of the one thing we all have in common – our planet.

Earth Hour 2011 will take place on Saturday 26 March at 8.30PM (local time). This Earth Hour we want you to go beyond the hour, so after the lights go back on think about what else you can do to make a difference. Together our actions add up.

Visit our Beyond the Hour platform to share your stories and to get inspiration from the actions our supporters have shared with us already.

Read more from Earth Hour Homepage.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OK, What Can You Do?

Please support Earth Hour by switch off your light at 26 March 2011, 8.30-9.30pm.

Here is a good example:

Please share your light painting photo on my wall (I AM MODEL) when you are done. Everyone can join no matter you are photographer or model, have fun.

Do not know how to do light painting? Here is a step-by-step guide for you: Painting With Light (PIE Institute)
