I have a good friend cum client, ordered this picture (yes, this has been processed), of fireworks at putrajaya, Malaysia. Very happy that this photograph is now adorning a wall.

Prints on Canvas
Have you ever thought of printing your favourite photographs on canvas? Looks really cool. Cost is very reasonable, approximately RM0.20 per square inch. Our gallery can arrange for these prints if you are interested.
Panning - girl on swing
I was visiting a friend and saw his daughter, Mel, playing a the swing. Sharing with you a photograph of her, after being absent for a couple of days. Panning this shot with a point and shoot. turns out ok.
If I have the time, I will edit my photographs before posting. Otherwise, they are posted straight off the camera.

Macro shots - two fighting spiders
Had been really busy finishing a couple of asignments, and that include preparing and sending out invoices. These two hairy spideys provide some relief to the mounting pressure of work.
What you see in the first pictures were two spiders circling each other. Then,
they were locked in battle. Alas, not for long. They scuttled away as soon as this photo was snapped.
I can still remember the days when, as a young boy, we went in search of similar type of spiders. These spiders normally make their nests in between two leaves that were strung together with their webs. Not that difficult to find once we became adept in locating their nests. As in photography, it is not too difficult to find interesting subjects when we are constantly scanning for them.
Anyway, for city folks who do not have the pleasure of growing up in Kampungs, we catch these spiders, place them in matchboxes (the matchboxes of yester years are rather difficult to come by these days), and bring them out to face their foes - another spider that is held in captivity until such 'fights' can be arranged. The good old days...

A great get-away near Bukit Tinggi
Again, I these pictures will tell more than what I can with thousands of words.
My neighbourhood was invited by this generous family who knows and appreciates the finer things in life. And what a life...! I can only share these few photographs (unedited) here. The rest will soon be uploaded in my website.
The place is great, the companies are great, and the fruits - yummy...

BMW Superbikes @ Genting
This is one of the photographs I took at the Genting 4 x 4. Looks much more interesting and exciting than the 4 x 4, in my opinion. But then again, they cost an arm and a leg.
A rich enthusiast

Here's Ah Boy showing how to get wet - both bike and rider
If, and when I can find the time, will share with you more images.

4 x 4 Motorsports at Genting Highlands
Was in Genting for a small job. While there, took the opportunity to take these photographs. Now I know what 'Big Foot' is. Wonder how the driver handles this monster of a vehicle. What is mind boggling, or should it be ear-shattering, is that I was drawn to this vehicle (in red) about 200 metres away by the sound that emitted from the vehicle. If the driver and/or passenger in the vehicle are not wearing ear plugs when they blast the music, I am pretty sure they will be deaf within a week.
the wheels are as 'tall' as the girl in the pix

Running into our (Malaysia) king and our former prime minister
Photographs are such wonderful tools. Cleaning up my disk and saw this photo that I took a year ago. It was just like yesterday that I took this shot.
What is interesting is that there are many photographers on the day, and I remember there was one who stood out - literally and physically. He just pushed and shoved to be in front of all of us. I just wonder if he managed to snap one like the above. I guess not, since we have just less than 5 seconds to snap a photo of the king walking towards us, surrounded by his security personnel, and I secured 3 seconds from his majesty.

Beautiful shadows
There are a number of photographs of shadows of trains of camels that I really love. Too bad I will not be able to take to the air and take such shots. Then again, ants too, gives great shadows. I particularly like these where the shadows look nicer than the actual thing.
