Photographing Flower.

Flowers are so cliche when it comes to photography… but that doesn’t stop me from shooting them! Heck, some photographers even specialize in flower photography and they do a darn good job of it. If you’re getting bored(like my shoot below) with your current bag-o-tricks for photographing flowers, go and look for some amazing tips from the WEBsite.

 

 

 

 

All above flowers are from my own small garden and shot with my Olympus E-620 .

When come to flower shooting I get out early and late when the light is softer and nicer.Sometime you will see a wonderful flower image midday but I like early morning .Another great time for flower hunt is right after rainstorm ! There's nothing like mist and water droplets to bring some of the image alive.

Events@ Kuching Waterfront.

The crowd enjoying the hot day.

Activities such as catch the duck as many as you can.....

Yesterday,some events was held   @  Kuching waterfront.I don't bother to know who is the organiser . All i  see  the crowds is mostly from the government office (State & Federal).They enjoy the hot weather,free lunch and lots of prizes.The state minister was there too .Well, the crowd having so much fun..and remember the funding is from the investor monies of Amanah Saham etc,etc So why cannot we enjoy the good DIVIDEN every year?????.I mean like the good old days ( 10% plus-plus).

Kuching Waterfront-Solar Energy.

 

The new Kuching City waterfront extension is environment friendly,They are install with eco-friendly electrical power or solar energy.This is clean energy and lower cost to the city council to run the new two water fountain build near to the waterfront.

The solar panel and the fountain but the ugly building is yet to be make over to new image.(perhaps the owner is looking forward for sponsor from the city council)

What about the local people of Kuching.,are they environmental friendly .Oh my God, just look at the rubbish.They don't even bother to say thank you (not to me) but to the government who have spend so much on tax payer monies to beauty the little city of Kuching.

Photo taken on 21/10/2009.
This evening I took a walk along the Kuching waterfront extension to see for myself what had been done to the waterfront.Reconstruction is almost done.

Photo taken this evening 15/04/2010.
I pleasantly surprised by the beauty of the extension of the waterfront.It is nostalgic for me because this is where the old wet market I use to go.
The old section of water front is from Hotel Margareta until the old court house and the new area is to the Brooke Dockyard.The distance now is more than 2KM .This is good for sweat in the morning and evening.

Careful with your camera........

Never ever do that! Your camera will catch fire!" Some people  say the 'powerful' sunlight will burn a hole in your camera's sensor!

Anyone see this happening ? I hope this not true.

This is my last year stock photo while on assignment to Melaka.

Hot Day......

It's hot to-day,I saw this stall not far from my house so its time to refresh myself with guava juice or jus jambu batu in Malay.
