I Miss You "Beary" Much

Hills

Panasonic DMC-FZ5

I've always wanted to photograph this place. The three level hills and mountains along with the straight road have captivated me for years. Not seen are the paddy fields on both sides of the road. Maybe one day I'll return to shoot again with my Nikon :-)

PS: Next time I'll drive further up to find a flatter part of the road so it will not look cut off again as in this picture.

Quartet

Nikon D40 @ 200mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/60 sec

Lights

Nikon D40 @ 150mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/250 sec

I have a colleague that is very interested in photography and she is about to buy her first digital camera, so I brought my Nikon today for her to try it out. We went shooting nearby and this was my favourite photo of the lot. We had a lot of fun :-D

Green Lizard

Nikon D40 @ 200mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/125 sec

One of the perks of living in the countryside is having wildlife show up at my door step, just like this lizard peeking at me while hanging out on the wall :-D

Ipoh Railway Station 3

Nikon D40 @ 30mm, ISO200, f11, 1/160 sec

The very new, yet very empty platforms.

Ipoh Railway Station 2

Nikon D40 @ 24mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/100 sec (cropped).

The other side of the station shot from the same spot as this. There is a hotel occupying the upper levels of the building, just like its KL counterpart.

Happy Mother's Day

Nikon D40 @ 120mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/50 sec.

Beautiful gerberas for my mom, I love the velvety petals~

Ipoh Railway Station

Nikon D40 @ 20mm, ISO200, f6.3, 1/160 sec.

The empty corridor of Ipoh Railway Station with a design looking a lot like KL Station. It was very peaceful and breezy the day I took this photo :-)

Kopitiam

Nikon D40 @ 18mm, ISO200, f4.5, 1/80 sec.

My friend's favourite kopitiam located in the heart of old KL. I could see why, the food was delicious as well as affordable~ He also mentioned how peculiar it was to catch the place empty and presented us with a great opportunity for photography :-)

A Rainy Night in KL

Nikon D40 @ 34mm, ISO1600, f4.5, 1/15 sec (Handheld).

I originally wanted to venture across the street to shoot the multitude of colourful lights dangling from the trees, but the drizzle made it impossible. So I shot this from the hotel instead.

BW Station #2

Nikon D40 @ 18mm, ISO1600, f3.5, 1/10 sec (Handheld).

One of the entrance to Kuala Lumpur Station. The entrance to Heritage Station Hotel is located here as well.

BW Station

Nikon D40 @ 18mm, ISO1600, f3.5, 1/8 sec (Handheld).

The quiet Kuala Lumpur Station at night. The middle platform was undergoing renovation when I was in the city last November. It was inconvenient to have to walk the extra distance to the ticketing station at Dayabumi, but it was great exercise nonetheless :-p

KLCC Revisited

Nikon D40 @ 18mm, ISO200, f9, 1/320 sec

KLCC was the number one place I wanted to visit in Kuala Lumpur. When that wish came true, I used to hang out there every weekend just sitting at the park admiring the gigantic architecture. During my vacation to KL last year, I spent some time at the park paying tribute to the good old times. I still love the place :-)

PS: I still couldn't get all of the building into the frame even though I was shooting from the furthest end of the frontal park with an 18mm lens heheh.

Cute Toys

Nokia N82 @ ISO 100, automatic mode.

The Sylvanian Family line. There used to be a shop displaying them in their full glory (click here for an example from the official website) and I enjoyed admiring them every time I was at Suria KLCC. Unfortunately that particular store no longer exists and to my knowledge the line can only be bought at Isetan KLCC. I picked up a squirrel one for my best friend :-)

Summer Barbie 2

Panasonic DMC-FZ5, macro mode

Remember this doll? I took her to the beach for some portrait shoots and this was one of the better ones. Wasn't easy holding the doll with one hand then shooting with the other heheh.

Dreamy 2

Panasonic DMC-FZ5, scenery mode.

I went for a drive today and when I saw this amazing view I just had to stop for a photo. Unfortunately the red coloured leaves are from burnt trees, victims of bush fires due to the long dry spell.

Then it finally rained tonight, although it was only a drizzle I am sure it had gladden many hearts :-)

Lomo Cat

Holga 135BC + Kodak Gold 200

I really like the old world charm of lomo photos. This picture was taken in low light, which probably explain the colour cast. It was the only picture in the roll coming out looking like this. Bonus points for the film flaw at the cat's foot :-D By the way, the Kodak Gold 200 is so inferior compared to Fujifilm Superia 200. I am not going to buy Kodak again >_>

Beach

Sony Ericsson W350i

Lomo? Not really, this was actually taken with a 1.3MP focus free phone camera :-D This shot reminds me of the picture I shot with a real lomo cam though but the real one looks so much better!

OU

The architecture at 1 Utama shopping mall.
