Chulia Street



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 during the economic slowdown

Kuala Muda Rendevous

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 white

its the 3 of us harry, larrie and moe and shot taken by Ning
This scene was taken using a single RAW and processed with 7 exposures for HDR image to enhance the tonal dynamic range
She is an ever enthusiastic girl who was ready to pose anytime when her dad requested, and with her, a Sony cybershot full of cats and kittens potraits as we stumbled into many along the fishing village
Brian Tan serious in capturing a good scene. Seen above is his new 70-300mm nikkor lens that he bought 2 weeks earlier
A colourful scene not only in Thailand, but also in Kuala Muda
Near a jetty walkway, preparing for shots
Brian reviewing his captures
2 camera bodies = pro
figuring for composition, it was a hot day indeed
i post processed to make the image less warm
ikan belanak for rm3/kg. I think its easy for him to cast 3kg within an hour as 1 cast brought him at least 3 belanaks (mullets)
there he goes again, another 3! Picture below is part of our team who will plan another outing pretty soon. Cheers
