After my first KL Street Nightwalk.01 on November 11th, 2014, I felt within me arose the interest of shooting at night which prompted me to go for another KL Street NightWalk.02 on November 20th, 2014. This time around I added the flash namely Olympus FL-600R Wireless Electronic Flash into my shooting when the sunlight goes off. Another bonus for this time were the gathering of my

I have purchased a new Olympus OM D E-M1 on Sunday, November 9th and I will be using this camera for the upcoming important Church event namely the Unveiling and Blessing of Welcoming Christ Statue on November 16th, 2014. This means I have a few days to practice on the camera function and the first thing come to my mind was Street Photography. But the problem is I am working during the week days

When I took up Olympus OM D E-M5 as my backup camera in April 2011 to my Nikon D7000, I dream that one day I will have enough money to purchase the bigger brother of OM D E-M5 namely OM D E-M1. My Olympus OM D E-M5 is a silver version as I love the classic looks. The initial launch of OM D E-M1 was black which looks elegant and sexy. I love it. But on October 2014, OM D E-M1 silver version hit

As I walk from Maybank to HSBC Bank in UPTOWN, Damansara this afternoon, I can not help but eager to know more of one new coffee drinking outlet opening which I later known the outlet as dal.komm Coffee. The unique name and beautiful bouquet of congratulating flowers at the side and entrance of the outlet drive my wife to push me to press the auto-door. Reluctantly I pressed the auto-door and a

On Saturday, September 6th 2014 was a hectic day for me as my wife and I have to wake up early in the morning to participate in our company Charity Run event. And after the event, I plan to go to Kuala Lumpur to participate in another event namely 500px Global Photo Walk 2014. Side note: On September 1st, I have twisted my lower back muscle which left me in pain even to walk and what more to

Since the last KL Street Photowalk.01, I have been walking the KL Street alone or joined other's event. Many things had happened ever since my last post and you may see the images in my Flickr. Actually on Saturday, 23rd August I was also on the street of Kuala Lumpur alone. And on that same week, my Olympus OMD E-M5 was sent for annual service which

Fifteen members responded to the gathering where each one of them armed with various version of Olympus camera from film to digital. The latest camera in the OMD category is OMD E-M10 which belong to Kelvin Ng. We meet at Pudu Plaza and we

I have been walking the street of Kuala Lumpur alone most of the time since I started street and candid photography end of 2011. At one time, I was walking the street with a talented street photographer Ivan Tan (Flickr's name Foxama) until his work takes more of his time. He may join me again in the future. I also joined others like the Olympus Photowalk organised by a well-known blogger and

It's a hot clear day on the Saturday, March 8th and we continued our shooting spree to Petaling Street in the hope that we will meet some of the Fotografi Jalanan Malaysia's (FJM) member whom were having their Photowalk Event on this same day. We parked our car at a Methodist Church compound and walked toward Petaling Street to continue our shooting adventure. We could not see any of FJM

I thought it's over with Pudu Wet Market but later I realised that we have to walked all the way back to our car. Along the way back we come across these characters which attracted me. Here are the 2nd part of Pudu Photowalk. All images taken with Olympus OM-D E-M5 and lens 12-50mm f/3.5-6.3 and 17mm f/1.8 which belong to Joey Tai  Joey Tai ready to capture me in action.

As I turned around searching for my friend, Joey Tai's car, I saw as a man waving from inside a car parked at the arrival portion of KL Central. My heart cried with joy and thought, "That must be Joey Tai!" whom I never meet physically. Sure enough and as I approached the car, the man in car beaming with friendly smile wave with his hand invite me to come into his car. At that moment, I lost my

I have planned this photowalk specially for my fellow St. Ignatius Church's photographers who wish to have a feel of street photography and have fun along the way. I can explain to them the theory but I believe in the street itself gives them a better understanding. I knew about the Photowalk organised by Fotografi Jalanan Malaysia which I longed to join but my own plan has to go on.

Last Saturday, I made my first lone Photowalk for the year 2014. Initially I plan to walk with my fellow street shooter, Ivan Tan but he could not make it as he works on Saturday. As I used to be a Lone Street Shooter, I continued with my plan. My walk will start from the Pasar Seni LRT Station and the route will cover Petaling Street, Pasar Karat, Jalan Masjid India, Jalan TAR, Chow

As we walk on toward the Pudu Wet Market, we have more opportunities to take pictures as the people in the street seems to be approachable and friendly. They are camera friendly.

Olympus Malaysia had organised a photowalk session at Pudu Wet Market, Kuala Lumpur last Sunday which led by Robin Wong and assisted by two of his team mates from Olympus Malaysia. This is my first time to venture into Pudu Wet Market as my normal hunting ground are Petaling Street, Jalan Masjid India, Jalan TAR and Chow Kit Road. I recommend this place if you are not ready to be scolded or not
