Macro Marathon

Continuing from yesterday (at Semenggoh Wildlife Centre), today we visited the Matang Park. As today is a public holiday (Gawai Dayak) here, there were hundreds of people streaming into the park. We were there around eight in the morning.There were not many people then but people started to roll in around 10am. There were a lot of them having barbecue there and the smell really distracted *slurp* *slurp* us from our macro photography.

Walk @ Main Bazaar

Shooting artifacts at the Main Bazaar Road, we met a 68 year old Hokkien uncle who was kind enough to pose for a couple of shots for us. It was made known to us that he was a regular model for tourists from Japan, Europe and others who take photographs of him. It took him 3-years to grow his beard and believe me when I said "kind", this uncle is really a nice fellow.

Casual Shootings

Nothing to do at home, I took out my camera and did some shooting. Here you see Orange and Kayla on Jo and my leisure chairs.

Sasha in her dreamy mood.

A gift from Jo, this should be good for me to use during my photography outings. With the rubbery texture, I can be sure to walk through dry and wet land, without much problems, unlike my recent trip to Borneo Highlands where I was caught in the mud in my sneakers and it was awful to walk in a wet shoe.

Friendship Park
