2013 August Sunrise - unsatisfied

early when i wake and was looking for my towels, at the back room of my house, supposedly the windows are looking towards the sunrise (East). I saw the sun is about to break and it was reddish n color, quickly i pick up my D7000 with 50mm 1.8, blast a few shots and changing the white balance as I could not get the color out from the sun. Here is the best shots. But I will try again soon as the weather is cloudy now.

i am looking at the forums and sites to check out the techniques for capturing that colors what i wanted. So far i got is use the 70-300mm at the 300mm measuring at the sun and you will get the color. Thanks for http://eduardolibby.photoshelter.com for replying my emails.

Here is the best i got for it now.

enjoy

2012 MengKuang Dam Penang

This is really the first time i've been here, after living here 30+ years in Penang, but of course I stay in the Island. As you can see this place is a wonderful place for exercise - to recommend only in the morning, due to the open space and the hot weather. This location can be easily find in google maps or here 5.385182,100.50608 to make things faster for you. Beware - there are various types of wild animal moving around, as pictures above, an monitor lizard, fish and we seen some gekco running fast pass though us on the tar road and of course monkeys too. So just beware and keep alerts always.

 

2011 a day at Bukit Berapit

After a zillion years, that is just since after schooling, i stop hiking due to some reason (classified). Now, I manage to scale this lil hill located at Bukit Mertajam, called Berapit. the way to get there, simple, just follow the Butterworth-Kulim expressway (BKE) from Penang, when you see the road sign Berapit just exit. then follow the details below.

just when you enter the town you will see all these landmarks at the road sides. just drive along and will reach a market, just after the market turn left into the housing area and drive until the end where you will reach a pond.





the journey begins

2011 May St Anne Photo Trip

wanted to visit this place for quite some time, but..you know, time ...! well , apparently we mange to make the time. there is an annual festival at this church every year on July 29, so before the lines down, the jams, and the lights out...I better go there to take some photos.

This place has transformed so much that I could not recognized, since the last time I visited. The roads are upgraded, more new buildings, toilets, dormitories, and landscaping. Very impressive and hope it will continue to be much better.

If I can make it on July 29 2011, please check back from more photos.
