This is the second time I’ve been to Pantai Teluk Molek, Penang. The first time I went without any filter on and taken a lot of useless waste of time picture. This time I’m there with Hitech filter on and this is what I got, a golden mud..lol. Even mud can looks beautiful in sunset. I shot at this specific location because I like the detail of the mud glowing from the suns colorful sky. The

I have wait and wait and wait for my Hitech Filter I order from http://www.formatt.co.uk to arrive and finally it arrived at my door step after more then 1 month. Well their reason for being this late is because there’s too much demand around the globe and they have to expand their manufacturing capacity. Let’s look at their reply below; Due to the increase in demand for the Hitech range of

It has been raining for weeks and there is no suns shining at all. Well today is my lucky day then, the sun finally out from the cloud and for this moment, I bring out my welding glass to try out. Well the result’s not bad at all in Black and White. If I try to turn it to original colors, it’s not so pretty. That’s because welding glass turns out is green in color when shot. So the best is

It’s been more then 2 month the last time I went for macro shot. Well lucky I still able to get hang of it. I found this yellow orb weaver spider and a wasp grub is hanging on it’s abdomen sucking the nutrition out from it’s body. It will suck the spider  fluid slowly for 2 weeks until it’s dead. Watch the video here posted by Orionmystery for how the wasp grub manage to survive. For

We when to another Milky Way shooting with the same group at the same place. Again a very lucky day for us, clear sky without moon. This time I try to put up some different perspective on my picture composition, in this photo I place my camera behind another camera. A Sony shooting Canon shooting Milky. Awesome huh lol. I’ve shot the milky way with this composition before here but the

I was on my driving my car to work on this morning and stuck in traffic jam. This is where I see this sunrise which is so magnificent, the colors and cloud formation is just so great. When I see this sunrise I was thinking ohhh how I wish I have my dslr with me at that moment. So I just use my iPhone 4 to capture this sunrise inside my car. It’s quite ok with iPhone 4 5MP camera. not much

I’m quite happy my first outing for Milky way is a SUCCESS..lol. Although I’m only using Kit Lens which given quite a fair picture but still, it’s MILKY WAY!!!. Picture were shot at 25sec exposure at F3.5 and 1600 ISO. Try to get the best lens you have, the bigger the aperture (smallest F number)  the better. Place to shoot milky way? Just look at Google Map and browse to location out

It’s been years since the last time I visit Penang Hill. I still remember the last time I visit which is during my secondary school days.. yup it’s that long. Any changes from the last time I visit and now? Well not much, changes was the Train (yup I did not take any photo of the train..lol). After going up the hill what can you do? Nothing..lol. Nothing fun up there, only was the cool breeze

A different feeling for this sunrise shot. Yes most of my sunrise shot is by the seaside (beach), this time we went to the paddy field for this spectacular sunrise shot. The green paddy field with a cross reflection from the sun, it’s absolute colors from this picture it self satisfying me a lot. For more Sunrise series click here. Cheers. Have a nice day.

Yes, I have return to the very first location where I first shot sunrise. This time I have some help with this shot, borrowed my friends ND 4 Filter to have this beautiful shot. When I was there I was surprise to see more then 10 people there shooting at the same spot. But there were shooting high up where I climb down the below to have a lower angel shot. I’m quite satisfy with this shot

Yes!, the month of April is finally over, a month of macro shot and here comes the new month May..haha. Anyway lets get this crap talking over..lol Took this picture at Pantai Shamrock, Batu Ferringhi. The weather not so great but I’m happy with the shot (for a newbies like me lol). This picture is perfected with a borrowed Cokin ND 4 Filter. Which is why I’m able to get the smooth sea and

I brought back this jumping spider to my home because I’m unable to shot this spider on location. Why? Because there’s too much mosquito on that area and I did not prepare for it lol. So I put inside a plastic container and catch a mosquito to feed it at night then I take out my dslr and shoot it when it’s eating the prey. I have so much fun and exited watching the spider catching the prey

I have no idea what are they fighting for. This 2 Golden Spiky Ants is battle it all out while there are few others watching at the side. It is like watching historical movie in Ancient Rome, the Battle of the Titan. This is the 2nd time I shot this ants fight. The link for the first shot I took few month way back is here Battle of the Titan I. This Golden Spiky Ant is easier to shoot as they

This picture actually taken last year during Penang Butterfly Insect showcase last year at 2010. Found it at the entrance from the car park outside. Most people would assume this is a spider but actually it’s an Ants mimic spider species. I do not know what is the family name or scientific name coz I’m not an expert in this sort of stuff..lol. Click here for more Ant’s series. Cheers.

This is actually my 2nd fruit fly mating picture. The first quality is quite bad as the fruit fly tend to be very small in size. This photo I took is about 40% crop of the original 1:1 magnification and it still look small..lol. With this photo taken, it is proven the fruit fly generation will be secure .

Even though the weaver ant’s is a little bit our of focus, but I still upload it to my flickr because I like the lighting and colors contrast between the ant’s and the green leaf. It make this picture wonderful. I do not have much picture of weaver ant’s but hopefully I will able to get some decent shot one day and share with you guys. Click here for more Ant’s series. Cheers.

Went for another sunrise with my gangs at Weld Quay, Penang. Not the best weather because as you can see the cloud is dark which is a rain cloud. But then it makes this picture more dramatic with multiple colors. I name this picture ‘Modern Africa’ because of the crane container which looks like giraffe in africa. I’ve try to shoot for Panorama but the end result is bad so I remove it from my

Shot this beautiful Black Spiky Ants. I do not know the ants is eating when I’m shooting, only I knew when I open it at my laptop for post processing. I would have no chance to shoot this ant's because they area actually not a very good models. They move around non stop..lol. At the picture you can see the leaf below is bending, that’s because I use my other finger to bend the leaf and move it

Last weekend, we when for a sunset shot at Teluk Kumbar, Penang. When we were there it was so cloudy and can’t even see any suns shining at all. It is a very dull day, but we were not giving up at all. we still ready our gear n tripod setting up waiting for the moment. Finally at the final moment before the sun’s going down the hill. the suns able to burst through the cloud and giving us the

Found a quite shy little yellow crab spider during my regular weekend bug’s hunt. it’s not moving an inch and I event thought it was dead. But on closer look …. it’s still ALIVEE!!!!!. Anyway I’m glad it’s into my collection once again and thanks to my regular macro partner who actually spotted it first. As usual do visit my flickr account for more.

Another Sunrise shot from me and now the location is at Teluk Tempoyak just a few km after Queensbay Mall Penang. It is a perfect weather with high tide sea making this picture wonderful. All picture is taken without any ND filter but with only with the Hoya CPL filter. This picture is taken at abit distant which I’m looking for a perfect foreground to fill the frame which I’m satisfy with it.
