Where to buy your camera's / lenses

I had not been able to post for a while now as I have some major problem with my photo-processing software, not to mention the problem my pc is giving me.

Time to upgrade or change - mayby to a Mac?

This posting is not about the problem I am facing. Just wanted to alert fellow Malaysians who are keen to either upgrade their photography equipment at a fair price. There is a shop at KotaRaya (near to Pudu bus station) that will probably give you a price that is very reasonable. Catch is, just mention my name! Really.

The shop:
LTK Electronics
Lot 2.20, 2nd Floor
Kota Raya Complex
Jalan Cheng Lock
50000 Kuala Lumpur
03-2078 2339

Beautiful creations by mother nature

Snapped this while waiting for the wife. Was in the centre of KL, not in a jungle, as a friend thought.

KL Marathon - just a quick take

I wonder if these marathoners wake up as early as 4am each day to train. Understand that weas the time the race started. I did not bother as I thought it was more meaningful to have some shots taken with the KLCC Petronas Twin Towers in the background.

Here's one pix taken using my point-and-shoot Panasonic Lumix. Waving at me is Edward.

How was this taken? Camera on the ground!

Mr Kuala Lumpur

This is not the one. Someone beat him to it. I had to leave before the winner was picked. Well, with luck and maybe quite a bit of work, will be back next year for the full coverage.

If you were at the competition site, you will realise that it is not easy to sculpt a body. With the many 'mamak stalls' that open 24 hours, it is rather difficult not to over-indulge in tons of carbohydrates and of course the often too-sweet tea that comes with your order of roti canai.

This is a sampling of the contestants before they appear and when competing on stage.

Just cannot image myself being a body builder, or as one senior body builder Mr Henry Lim puts in his card, "turn your body into a fat burning machine" - machine they look!

Last but not least, a very pretty lass who is also a body builder. Won't you like to see her ripling muscles. Did not quite get her name. Kimberly, I think. The secretary of the Kuala Lumpur Body Building Federation, Mr Vincent Ho in the picture, also did not show off his muscles as he has to make sure the event runs smoothly.

Always expect the unexpected

I was on an assignment last week, taking photographs of a cathedral, when I chanced upon this beautiful bird. A 'cross' that is all natural, and really beautiful.

and the cathedral?

Here it is. Sorry that I cannot showcase the best image - that goes to the cathedral.
