Dream Resort

2012-01-26T12:10:00.018+08:00

It has always my desire to see that exotic Pangkor Laut resort, a private island owned by Tan Sri Fracis Yeoh ( YTL). Through a series of event, I stayed there 3 days at the resort invitation.

The Resort Built in 1985 on a private 300-acre (121ha) island, the wooden villas on stilts was YTL Hotel and Properties’ first venture in luxury resorts. Not only did it win numerous awards and attract many celebrities over the years, the premier resort also paved the way for the company’s global expansion.

First touchdown at the island, the first thing to look for are the food is because Food is always a astronomical delight at any YTL hotel. While there are numerous restaurants offering a wide variety of cuisine.

My favorite food are the Pangkor Tripical Pizza @ Royal Bay Beach Club, Crab Char Kway Teow @ Chapman’s Bar and etc. There are many types of villas and suites to choose from, depending on whether guests want to stay in the water or in the midst of the tropical jungle. The Singnature Sea Villas stand elegantly on stilts above playful waves.

Lovely Sunset at Emerald Bay, the breathtaking location for most romantic of ceremonies. Good place for beach wedding.

The infinity pool. The place u can’t miss when u visits the island, it will be a treatment at the Spa Village, and it begins with unique Bath House Ritual, representing various bathing traditions from around Aisa.
Some of the Nice Food at @ Uncle Lim’s Kitchen, Feast Village and etc.

Love In The Air

2012-01-15T16:06:00.020+08:00

It has always been a dream of mine to photograph the KL landscape from a bird's eye view. My dream came true when I received a call from Captain Andreas J. Walther, an instructor from Air Adventure Flying Club with his Cessna 172.

We took off from Subang Airport and flew around KL City for about an hour. The feeling was indescribable. Now, I'm just looking forward to the day I'll be flying around for good food. Perhaps, some Thai food in Thailand and Char Kway Teow in Penang!

This photo I took during that flight. I used Canon EOS 7D, with a zoom length of 24 mm, ISO at 400, Shutter Speed at 1/60 sec and Aperture of F16.

If you share the same dream as me or have ambitions of becoming a pilot, feel free to mail me.

Samut Songkhram Railway Track Market and Floating Market

2012-01-10T00:54:00.010+08:00

I've discovered this hidden gem during my last visit to Bangkok. It was an eye-opener to see market traders laying their goods directly on the operational tracks, therefore they have to act swiftly when the train arrives.

I shall let the pictures transport you to the uniquely beautiful and must visit Samut Songkhram Railway Track Market and the famous Floating Market.

Gan and Jamie's Big Day

2012-01-10T00:17:00.007+08:00

Please excuse the long hiatus. A holiday in Bangkok, work trip to Pangkor Laut and Pulau Tioman, and I also have great news to share with you! I've finally completed my Open Water course and is now a certified diver :)
In addition, I had also conducted 2 photography sharing sessions at Sunway Sports Club and YMCA. Met many new friends and it's such a great to know that many of those who attended the sharing sessions did apply the tips I've shared!
With so many good news, here's another I'd like to share. The cute couple, Gan and Jamie's big day. Here are some of the few shots I've chosen.

Testimony

2011-12-23T12:00:00.007+08:00

Some of the testimony that share by friends to shuttertalk.

" How I wish you could teach me some techniques of photography.Check my album Boracay Island Paradise - one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Hope you like my captures sir."

Regards,
Willbert Quebral

"I thought to let you have a look at my website, I've recently edit and redo the layout and content again.
I Looked back at the photos and still greatly appreciate the experiences and guidance you have shared with me before.
So wanna say a big thank you to you for all that! :) Take Care and have a nice day!"

Regards,
Kevin Wong

" I am in Chennai and using some of the information, I learned in the photography workshop at YMCA by you.
I am bending my knees to get lower when taking pictures of people and animals, and am using the rule of thirds.
Setting the system to shutter preference rather than automatic, and changing the ISO settings when taking pictures during performances so that I can keep the shutter speed up.
Thanks for the pictures and I will share some of the photo when I return. Have a great New Year."

Regards,
Douglas Hale

Tripod and Remote switch

Zoom length of 16 mm, ISO at 400

Exposure program at Manual

Shutter speed at 1/15 sec

Aperture of F4.Tips for shooting night scenes: The best approach for shooting cityscape at night is to use a slow shutter and a tripod.

In terms of the equipment, a tripod is absolutely essential. A remote switch can prevent camera shake, and good to have spare battery because long exposures consume battery power. For shooting night scenes good to use ISO 400 with wide-angle lenses.

For the long absence, I’ve been busy with work and few workshops for the past couple of months.I was busy with the Sarawak state election.

With so many projects in hand, the main highlight was my sharing session on photojournalism.

Malacca Food Hunting Trip

2011-03-22T17:59:00.007+08:00

Last month, I’ve made a trip to the historical city of Malacca with the lovely bunch of people from Sunway. We began our trip from Petaling Jaya early on a Saturday morning, and we were in Malacca just in time to savour the delicious Nyonya cuisine for lunch.A few of my friends have never been to this beautiful, historical city, therefore after our scrumptious lunch at the Nyonya restaurant, Nancy’s Kitchen, we’ve decided to (re)fill our tummies with more food! For this round, it was the irresistibly delicious chicken rice balls.

And who can resist saying ‘No’ to desserts? After such a heavy brunch…and lunch, we still had room for the best Cendol in town! Trust me, I’m from Penang and the Cendol at Jonker 88 is undoubtedly the best I had so far ;)

Then what else, shopping of course! While the girls engaged themselves with some retail therapy, the shutterbugs were busy telling stories with their cameras.

After a long but fruitful day in the streets of Jonker, we continued our foodie expedition to Portuguese Settlement for their notoriously delicious crabs and ikan bakar.

Sorry for the long absence, I've been busy with work for the past couple of months.

I was busy with the Ramadhan month food review, then I attended the FGBMFI Asian Convention 2010 which was held on the Super Star Virgo Cruise in Singapore. With so many projects in hand, the main highlight was my inaugural sharing session on news photography. The event took place at Sunway, and it was a tremendous experience being able to share my years of experience with 25 PRs of Sunway group.

Among the topics that were shared on that day were:
1. The basics of Photography
2. How to ask your subject to pose
3. How to take pictures for publications
4. How can the PR assist the news photographers and what makes a better photo opportunity at an event, etc.

On the other hand, in early July, I was invited by one of the maestros of wedding photography to be part of the team of for Peng Hoong & Eunice's day big and without a doubt, I agreed. It was such a fantastic experience having to work and learn from the expert himself.

And as always, here are some of my favourite shots from that session.
