Splashing

Arrows of rain seem to pelt a dragonfly in Indonesia’s Riau Islands in Shikhei Goh’s winning image, “Splashing.” [...]

“This photo was taken when I was taking photos of other insects as I normally did during macro photo hunting. I wasn’t actually aware of this dragonfly since I was occupied with other objects. When I was about to take picture of it, it suddenly rained but lighting was just superb. I decided to take the shot regardless of the rain which caused my Eos 7D and 100/2.8 L Macro to get wet. The result had caused me to be overjoyed and hope it pleases the viewers.”

WordCampID – January 30, 2010

I just published an entry on the IntenseDebate blog, but this is exciting news! Come the end of January I’ll be heading to Jakarta for WordCamp Indonesia, on behalf of IntenseDebate and Automattic.

Beau Lebens, my fellow Automattician / IntenseDebater / token Aussie / krav maga master, will be joining me and I can’t think of a better traveling buddy (his krav maga skills will come in handy when I need to get out of a pinch). I’m stoked! Trying to convince Jon Fox to come as well, although he’s busy planning his wedding! We’ll see if he can swing it. :-)

In case you’re not familiar with it:

WordCamp is a conference that focuses on everything WordPress. WordCamps are informal, community-organized events that are put together by WordPress users like you. Everyone from casual users to core developers participate, share ideas, and get to know each other. WordCamps are open to WordPress.com and WordPress.org users alike.
