TIT-ESE -->Teluk Intan Trip - Eat, Shoot, Enjoy (3)

3rd batch..about scenery and buildings :)

Main places we visited during this trip -- Kellies Castle and Teluk Intan's Leaning Tower~


Kellies Castle outlook...




What's over there through the hole? :P


This part of the castle is the leftover after the damage in the World War 2...


This walkway was heard to be haunted, with the spirit of the caslte's owner...@@"


We went up to the top of castle, meet with another lady who's taking photo with her gown~ :)


Teluk Intan's leaning tower!


The narrow staircase going up the leaning tower...


Saw this tools...wonder what's the use of it. Maybe use to pump/transfer water? :P

TIT-ESE -->Teluk Intan Trip - Eat, Shoot, Enjoy (2)

Second batch of photos taken in this trip...
It's all about flowers and plants~ :)

This type of photos are easier to take (my opinion :p), since only the aperture needs to be adjusted, and switch into macro mode if neeeded.
Normally, we'll just zoom in, use larger aperture (smaller F value) to get a shallow depth of field so that the subject would seems to be focused and brought to front.

Example..'paper flowers'


mushrooms at the middle of old woods..


White paper flowers..


Orchids..


Yellow hibiscus


Morning glory~


Lotus.. :)

TIT-ESE -->Teluk Intan Trip - Eat, Shoot, Enjoy (1)

Since i bought this 'little new baby', now it's the time to bring it out and get some great shoots~ :P
First outing -- Ipoh + Teluk Intan.
Just upload these few photoes which i've chosen as good shoots,hehe.. :P
First batch, it would be about food and delicacies..

First stop-Ipoh's Hong Kong Dim Sum


Glutinous rice chicken


Char Siu Pao


Then..next in the afternoon,
curry bread chicken~ :P chicken again~


In the evening,..here it comes the specialty of Teluk Intan-- Chee Cheong Fun
It's like normaly 'chee cheong fun' but it's dry type (no sauce). What it has, only the fried onion, which makes it taste good even withuot any other ingredient or seasoning. :)



The next day, we have this Ah CHai's Rojak-- another Teluk Intan's specialty


Before back, not forget to eat this also at Ipoh,hehe...Nga Choi Gai (Bean sprout+chicken)

Here comes...my DSLR!~

Hehehe..after waiting, considering, planning, surveying for so long, finally...
at this day, i made up my mind to purchase my first ever DSLR camera. Nikon D3100 is chosen to be the one in the end, because of its spec and price meeting my expectation and is considered most suitable for my need. :)

Thanks to my friend, who recommend me to buy at the shop, i managed to get this camera with a price which is considered quite ok (not super cheap but fair and good enough).

Here it comes...and this marks the beginning of my journey in photography :P





With tripod...


the accessories...


My very first camera -Canon Powershot A400, have been accompanying me for about 5years. Bro, would i be using you again in future? :P Hopefully yes...

More to come, in the shooting journey...

Moon-shooting

Recently just get the chance to capture some photos of the moon, while it's the 15th/16th day of the lunar calendar of a month.. :)
However, due to my digital compact camera's limitation, these are what i get~ :P









Hope to get a better picture when i get my DSLR then... :)

KK In Memories

Still remember last year, we went to Kota Kinabalu for our friend's (John) wedding..
This was the first time we coursemates gather again after graduated from university, and that had been about two years since that.

We also went visiting other places at KK, besides attending John's wedding.
Places we went are such as the hot spring and island hopping. Here are some of the photos which i consider nice shoots. :)







The buddies~...

I 'shoot' them, you 'shoot' me?


Us...
