plenty along the shoreline...A scene typical of Penang coastal front; fisherman shack that looks like a junk yard. Weathered structures such as this is not uncommon but the delaminated walls needless to say, make interesting photographic subject.Last few shots during the Chinese New Year holiday, and it was terribly hot hot hot but the clouds gave way for a nice sunrise early in the morning at

Happy Chinese New Year 2010, everyone!It is always a hot weather in Penang comes Chinese New Year. This year is no exception, when the temperature raises to 36 degree Celcius with little clouds and i decided to take advantage to capture sunset scenes. What better location than the angle facing Pulau Aman, a small islet off Penang Island.Here are 2 more images from my flickr websitesImage 3 &

I have a story to relate, about a 'young' Minah Kampung who decided to visit europe in the cold winter far away from sunny home. She first landed in Switzerland after transit from Dubai, a stark contrast between climate and culture, and below was one of the first several pictures of her in Switzerland.The weather did not catch her by surprise but she was a tad under prepared for her winter

It was a mundane weekend when i decided to have a go with Nikon CLS with the help of Alif medieval_axer. We quickly set up a mini studio shoot in the bedroom with the aid of mom's cactus as the subject... i guessed she was wondering why these goonies smuggled 2 pots of her gardening upstairs :)Since I didn't have a photography outing for quite some time now, I invited my niece Nadia and my family

I tried birding, and the place to go last sunday was the Kuala Gula Bird Sanctuary where migratory birds are aplenty in the swampy estuary of a fishing village north of the state of Perak. We hired a boat to bring us to the surrounding areas, and it was fun.It is something like the everglades in Florida that I used to see in the TV, and there are many scenes (not to mention, birds) that kept me

Kuala Terengganu was very wet and we had to cut short the tour and ran off to sunny Port Dickson :) Dang! we should have been there in the first place and, should have delayed the KT Trip to a more suitable season. We anyway, enjoyed our first experience being wet for a holiday (self pacifying lorr)In PD, the family was on full gear clicking away nice landscape unseen in Penang. Its rather

My family decided for a Monsoon outing 2 weeks ago.. to the East Coast in a very wet and rainy season. It was a Code Purple Category, we heard in the TV broadcasted a day earlier. Obviously Penangites like us are unused to the warning level :) Perhaps it was a richter scale of 5.0 for earthquake!Our first stop was at Tasik Banding which was half way distance from Penang to Kota Bahru.

On 12th December, I trailed to Lata Bukit Hijau, near Baling Kedah and I was pleasantly surprised by the clear blue sky that a person like me yearned as this climatic condition can provide (sometimes) beautiful scenes.Coupled with the maturing greens of the paddy fields make the scenes even more luring. In all my excitement, I forgot that I took many hundred of steps to the very top of Lata Bukit

Many Penang fisherman are sport fishermen. They do not earn a living from their fishing activity but a major passion and serious amateurs. Just like me, a serious amateur in photography. This is a small fishing enthusiasts' shack of 15 fishermen situated near the penang Bridge, run-down but with basic support to launch their motorized fibre-glass vessels (locals call them sampans).These scenes

One of the many heritage streets in Penang, Malaysia. Muntri Street - Possibly after the Mantri (minister) of Larut, Ngah Ibrahim bin Long Jaafar. Today, Muntri Street is well known for its heritage lining; dotted with budget hotels. A quiet and wonderful stretch of street nearby to other heritage sites of Penang

This development project is doing strong as I witnessed in my daily commuting to work. Many activities in and around the site especially in the land reclamation works have been very active and I am sure to see more rapid progress soon. One early saturday morning my photographer friends and I sneaked into this site to capture interesting scenes and I managed these two in HDR

Using Fuji Reala 120film ASA100, I captured these night scenes in Penang. While I have problems in metering, they were easily corrected during post-processing and definitely a joy looking at the colors the film produced.The workflow of film processing is really like taking peanuts rather than peanut butter (digital)!  I am yet to explore this analogue thingy and may I have more joy in knowing

My first try in medium format photography; 2 rolls 120 film courtesy of Garlic (Sean). Though the colored film (Kodak Pro 160-2) past 4yrs of its good life, the film seemed to capture  a natural colour IMO.

Minglabar!A recent working  trip to Myanmar, formerly known as Burma provided a lot of exciting images unseen in many developed countries. Formerly administered by the British and subsequently occupied by the Japanese army, but the country now is under the regime of its own military Junta (SPDC).

I have never been to Malacca for ages, let me see...32yrs to be exact. After all those years having not visited Malacca, I was surprised to see the traditional township being well maintained and no wonder it was rewarded the Unesco's Heritage City (apart from my hometown, The Georgetown Penang). On the first day we tried the night river cruise and it was exhilrating experience to try Malaysia's

We organised a short trip to Port Weld (Kuala Sepetang) on 18 April 2009 to visit the popular mangrove sanctuary, a large coastal forest reserve near Taiping.  It is part of our family photographic activities which we seldom had the chance as Alif (elder son a.k.a Jar Jar Binks) is always busy with his final year in USM.

Land reclamation work has ceased indefinitely for the new development of The Light - Penang Premier waterfront which is designed to be a new elite commercial hub. I heard that this stoppage was due to insufficient impact study on the coastal ecosystem.At least this give me the opportunity to keep visiting this area as it present good photography subject of a bowing fisherman shack.

There are many low budget hotels in Chulia St, Penang especially caterring for backpackers or to those who do not mind very basic lodging. To my surprise, most of them are pretty clean and in one instance, I saw a promotional message "RM15/nite, b/fast included". Voila, its cheaper than home!!Many more of these hotels are mushrooming in Chulia St and scenes like the above are not uncommon even

We joined the Earth Hour (60mins) thingy on 28 March 2009 to express ourselves to world leaders that we, earth citizens can play a part in the reduction of global warming.We enjoyed ourselves in the dark for 1hr from 8.30pm to 9.30pm (+8hrs GMT). Nothing much we could do but choreographed some 'light' photographing as the scene above. Obviously we sweated (and toiled) towards the end of one hour,

There are some purist snobbery views that to project oneself as capable photographer, the printable images should come direct out-of-the-box (camera) and not to post-process using the many available softwares.

An image comprise of pixels described by RGB. I like B that stands for Blue, as this colour will turn blue to white when transformed into a "black & white" monochrome. While the red and green, will turn the image black and sheds of grey. Hence when i see a scene, immediately my mind will visualise a black & white version... and blue appears aplenty near the coastline with abundance of blue sky

Last Sunday, I had the chance doing a photoshoot in Queensbay Mall for the Ms Pesta 2008. There were many fellow photographers and we had the front row space to capture the pageantry. While there are 18 contestants in total, I have preselected the probable champion and runners up... heh :) TAN LAY LEE, she has good eye contact and

It is our colourful family, and its not often that we can be together as Jar Jar Binks is always occupied with his studies and with his 'better-half'...Pic above is a pose by Jar Jar Binks in Bali Nov 2008, when he went for a study trip with the HBP team from USM. A distant cousin to Mr Bean, he ain't shy in posing several candids with Perth as the backdrop.A morning snapshot near the minden gate

Immediately after the Penang Bridge International Marathon being flagged off in the wee morning of 16 Dec 2008 and runners bee-lined towards the bridge, i took the chance to capture the Jerejak Pier again for probably the 4th time.The morning sun rose slowly as i lined up for my shot, tripod secured on the soil bank and as I triggered a 25sec shutter, the tripod sank slowly without me knowing.

These shots went out of the B&W conventions which normally require contrast and texture to enhance a monochrome image. Some say that rules are meant to be broken, and yes, these images below just did that. While most of the time rule of thirds plays an important principle in image composition, its cool to sometimes flaunt and see what happens. This image is intended as a minimalist capture, it

I want to share my experience on post-processing a.k.a PP of digital images. As we all know, our eyes are the best imaging device one could have as it can capture almost all visible gamut and spectrum of colours, but a camera with all its might in digital technology is not able to reproduce what we see with our eyes. Perhaps, not as yet. While exposure, focus details and other light-technical

On 11 Oct 2008 we went to Kota Kuala Muda, a fishing village near the Penang-Kedah border. Three guys and a girl Ning (ChanKM's daughter). Picture below is an image taken by Ning using a camera hardly for her to lift but she still managed a nice vertical shot (smile)And here is one the first few snaps that i took upon reaching Kota Kula Muda, rendered in black n whiteits the 3 of us harry, larrie

(make life great, no worries)... from the silver screen Lion KingThe 4th day of Syawal, I went out photo shooting with Brian Tan (his blog here) who recently dived into the realm of digital photography. He is now armed with a nikkor 70-300mm, apart from his kit lens 18-135 (under repair) and a prime 50mm to barrel his nikon d80. It was a drizzling saturday morning when we arrived at the fort

Pulau Aman is an island off the coast of Bukit Tambun (Seberang Perai) somewhere close to the southeast of Penang Island. An idyllic Malay fishing village, Pulau Aman is known for having the oldest Sukun (breadfruit) tree in Malaysia which can be found in abundance perhaps more populated than the inhabitants themselves. A short 10mins ferry boat ride is really exhilarating under fine wheather and

Shore line images captured off Penang eastern coast in the tranquility of an early morning 9 August 2008. The image was supposed to be converted to black & white but the lure of dawn light was too luscious to be removed.This image is classical of David Burdeny's type of photographic work which Malaysia has aplenty to offer to shore line enthusiasts.Two images below are nearby coastal scenes and

Saturday 26 July 2008 was a blackday for my mother in law (MIL) as she got robbed and injured in her own house.It was a bright 6.45am morning when her daughter left for work and leaving her alone, a usual routine for umpteen years. Never before my MIL felt her safety is compromised as the village is rather peaceful (aptly named, Kampong Selamat) and no such mishap ever happened to the place she

The world has... Lance Amstrong, champion of Tour de France for a record-breaking 7x through 1999-2005. Prior to this, he also survived testicular cancer, a germ cell tumor that metastasized to his brains and lungs, in 1996. His cancer treatments included brain and testicular surgery and extensive chemotherapy, and his prognosis was not originally considered to be great.

Capturing black & white images are not easily achieved if one does not understand key prerequisites that need to seek for. Below are 3 snapshots that I personally feel able to manifest the concept of mono image and outshine the colored version. Basically a photographer need to pre-ascertain; 1) high contrast in an image, 2) existence of patterns/designs, and 3)

As most individuals are moving on their second or third model, the market has adapted to meet the demands of the tech savvy consumers. The technology

Yesterday my wife and I went to the GSC to catch Hancock on screen after all those persistent hype from Chewbacca. It was Sunday a 9.35pm show and as I did not had my dinner, decided to smuggle-in a McD quarter-pounder from 4 storeys down QueensbayMall. In planning to have a great time without the kids, we further decided to have some more... a super large pop corn package + large lemon tea from
