Burning Skies, End of Day

Back from a long break from blogging. I've been busy with a lot of things, especially since my college life is starting all over. Apologies to those who visited my blog.

Went to Bagan Lalang with a bunch of friends to celebrate the birthday of a friend. Shot photos of the sun going down, so slowly, until it was totally swallowed by the sea. Here are the photos.

My first sunset photo-shoot. It's not the best, but I felt really good and satisfied, although there are obvious grains in my photos, because I forgot to change the ISO setting for a few photos.

That's all for this post.

Morning's Glow, Kanching

I've not update my blog for a ridiculously long period of time. I'm dedicating a lot of my time to my college life and stuff. Assignments, projects, photo-shootings, presentations, you know the drill. The most unbelievable thing is that I have to do colour studies. Like you know, the artist's colour wheel thing, mixing of colours, it's exactly like what I did in secondary school. Only this time, more challenging.

This post is on Kanching Waterfalls. I joined a group of bloggers and we went there together. It was a rather tiring drive. The journey is not that far, but traffic was slow moving and the car in front of mine, the one leading, was driving slowly, so it took us quite a while to get there.

There are seven main waterfalls if I'm not mistaken. This one above is the second waterfall, I think. Didn't take a lot of waterfall shots, simply because, well, they look all similar to me.

Next up, as usual, the life I managed to capture at Kanching.


Monkey model.
There were many monkeys around the place. I took many photos of monkeys jumping and climbing on the trees. But I'm not going to post up too many of the same photos, so I'll just put up a few of my favourites.


A female monkey.

Posing for me to take photo? XD
The next one is rather scary. Some won't like it, some won't be able to stand it, some would think it's gross, but I'm going to post it up because it's rather unique to me.


The March of Million-Ants
Most of the people who saw this got pretty freaked out. Must be due to the many legs and weird shape. I think the world of insects is interesting. It's so alien-ish. I hope I get Macro lens! It's gonna be so nice shooting insects with macro lens. Sigh~


Thunder Lizard? lol~

Giant mosquitoes mating?

A Giant, Black Ant

Final shot at the longest waterfall.
Don't mind the people in the photo, they were having fun, and I couldn't wait for them to leave for the shot.

That's all I have on Kanching. The outing was rather short. We finished and left after this part of the waterfall to take our lunch and then returned home. And errr... The lunch wasn't good. Therefore, no food photos. And finally, the ending of this post with my photo.


Peace to the World!
Next up in line, Gua Tempurung trip, with my photos.

Still Shouting at Genting

College started, and I'm going to college to study, and like any other students, I'm busy with assignments. Of course, first week is still fine. But I don't have enough time for everything, so updates were being delayed.

Continuing, this round, more photos on Shouters at Genting Highland.

I still suck in portraiture. Maybe I should find a model and experiment with thousands of shots before I actually learn something. Also, I need an external flash unit.

Firewire suddenly became quiet. I suppose he was thinking about something, or rather, someone?

So deeply in thoughts, must be someone special.

Nice expression on Firewire's face. I tried imitating, but failed.

Somehow, Firewire became the spotlight in this post.


Can you spot the Shouters?
Next up, Genting or Kanching? Hmmm...

The Shouting of Genting

It's been what, 10-11 days since I last blogged? Yeah have been out for quite a while.
Anyway, went up to Genting Highland on 15th of March 2008 with a group of Shouters. Well that's, for now, the best Genting Highland trip I've ever joined. Traveling with a bunch of crazy people is really exciting.

It was freaking cloudy and misty.

It would have been a pain driving up if it rained, lucky us, it didn't.

The clouds were crawling everywhere, covering every part of the forest. Wanted to record a video on it, but suddenly I had something else to shoot.


Firewire moulala became a bit siao and promoted the rubbish bin.
For those who didn't understand moulala, it's cantonese, meaning - suddenly. As for siao, who wouldn't know? I don't think I have readers from anywhere except Malaysia. Uh, is there? lol~


The great big foot, I know not the reason they made the giant foot print.

I know not the reason of this too. Promoting exit sign?

This one is different. I catch no ball though.

Daniel again, this time trying to cabut the pagoda.
Again, for those who didn't understand cabut, it's Malay, meaning - extract? More like pluck.


Spotted a giant mozzie. And this was the best shot I could get with my 18-70mm lens.

And Firewire promoting the Gents.
It's truly fascinating, traveling with very very crazy and fun people. Next up, more Genting photos! Also, I might cut in with a little something else. Thanks for reading! Have a good day!

A Happy Ending?

The General Election 2008 ended, and the results were rather surprising. A happy ending? Or Not? However, as much as I would like to discuss about the matter, I shouldn't. After all, this blog is not about politics.

So, about this update... It seems the Semenyih Trip post is taking too long to finish. So I've decided that this will be the final post on the Semenyih Trip. Yeah, the end.

I find this tree rather special. There is another plant climbing up its trunk. Plants are always competing for food, water and sunlight. Roots dig deep, trunks grow tall. lol~

Next, waterfalls. I'm not really good at shooting waterfalls, plus I don't have a tripod, and I'm too lazy to use Eugene's tripod. So, the longest I could do was one to two second exposure time.


Does the water look like it's really cold? Yes? No? Compare these with the one below.


Do you see the difference? This shot was taken with a shorter exposure time. Ah well, I'm sure that you'd understand. If you don't anyway, I hope you enjoy the photos.

And finally, the people who made this trip happen.


Eugene, crouching with style.


Fattien, pointing at a certain something.
Don't know what is he pointing at in the photo, so I put my blog name there, promote a bit. lol~ By the way, this photo was shot and edited by Eugene.


Me, myself and I.
Oh and my baby DSLR-camera, appearing in my own blog for the first time. So, this shot is obviously not taken by me. Thanks Eugene!


A group photo to end the post. Again, photo by Eugene. The rest of us are holding our cameras in the photo, right?

The trip was fun, I learned and experienced a lot, much thanks to these guys. After all, it was only my first, true photo-shoot session with a DSLR-camera. I'm looking forward to more photo-shoot sessions! More! More!! I want MORE!!!
*ehem*
