ROOAAAR!!!

Nikon D40 @ 50mm, ISO200, f1.8, 1/320 sec

This is a photo of my handsome black cat yawning :D

It was a candid capture when I was testing the 50mm/f1.8 from a distance away. Quite proud of how it turned out considering I had to focus manually! 

Since it was a prime lens, the photo had superb detail and had no problem having most of it cropped out. Love the lens!

♥ p.s. A belated Chinese New Year greeting from my mini panther! ♥

I Love You

Nikon D40 @ 150mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/15 sec

Who can say no to that face?

Fenix E05

Nikon D40 @ 200mm, ISO200, f16, 1/5 sec

Recently bought a high quality everyday carry (EDC) flashlight.  The Fenix E05 utilizes a high intensity Cree XP-E LED that produces a bright but comfortable flood beam.  The E05 uses a single 1.5V AAA battery, as shown in the photo. Although small in size, it has a solid build.

Ant War

Canon IXUS 220 HS

Photographed during a hike at Manukan Island.
Edit: A friend identified them as Red Weaver Ants, a highly territorial species.

Smokin'!

Nikon D40 @ 75mm, ISO200, f5.3, 1/200 sec

A car drifting competition held during Pesta Rumbia in Kuala Penyu at 9th July 2011. It was organised by Kinabalu Sportscar Owners' Club (KSOC). The daredevil in the red car had some insane driving skills and was the only one to smoke the tyres this much. Thus it was no wonder he was the spectators' favourite that day!

Sunset at Pantai Manis

Panasonic DMC-FZ5

An amazing sunset from a camping trip two years ago. My friend was unaware I took this photo of him admiring the view :-)

Wild Orchids

Nikon D40 @ 200mm, ISO200, f5.6, 1/800 sec

I couldn't resist the soft light shining upon the wild orchids(I think) so I had to photograph them. It is a shame the flowers only bloom for one day.

Rapids

Panasonic DMC-FZ5

A beautiful, remotely located rapids.

Backlit Termites

Panasonic DMC-FZ5

Termites hard at work in Gaya Island.

I Miss You "Beary" Much

Panasonic DMC-FZ5

Malayan Sun Bears preparing to take a nap at Lok Kawi Wildlife Park, Sabah.

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 :-)
