Feeling Young

How often ?

The Penang Bridge

The Penang Bridge expansion has completed, exactly 2 years when it first started. August 2009 has experienced much smoother traffic flow. I can arrive work within 2omins :) by driving slow like Luca Badoer

The Light - Penang Premier Waterfront (Part II)

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

The Planter's Bungalow

A little picture story of a big mansion - The Sogomana

Situated in Cangkat Kruing in Perak in the midst of palm oil estate, build by a Danish architect in 1929.

The Bungalow in sepia looks very rustic of yesteryears.

More Sogomana story to continue...

Hazy Days

Hazy days in Penang are back tormenting the beauty of early morning scenes. This image was captured after a heavy downpour the night before, making Penang Island photogenic again, though for a very short while

Penang Night Scene

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 them more in months to come

Medium Format Photography

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.

MCK cleans Chot & Chein (our rabbits) hideout, and pic below is another attempt to assess the Mamiya 645AF, it's grainy at 100x crop.

I will try today a fresh roll of Fuji Reala ASA100 newly acquired from Singapore :)
