Sorry guys if this takes a while to load...

Here's more after a tiring day at the pool with my nephew. Looks like the blog pages just got even heavier! I'm sorry to those who are using anything slower than a 256k connection. It takes my lousy Nokia N80 four minutes on 3G before it crashes out with insufficient memory! Oh well, my iPhone's coming in four weeks -- I can't wait!

Just love the shadows and highlights on the Yi-Ann's face but I had my 24-105 and not my 70-200 this is as tight as I can get!

The giant Cat of Cameron Highlands!

Boring group shot -- the exciting version later tomorrow!

The yummy scones - absolutely delicious with home-made fresh strawberry jam for tea!

Here's a small selection of Kok Leong's shots from his D50. A light touch of Photoshop in the mix. Just a little touch-up here and there but mostly the JPEGs were quite nicely done so mostly a little bit of dodging and burning was enough. Of course, my favorite curves and masks too!

Sorry everyone that these took some time. There were about 500 shots (not including KL's & KW's which I will also batch except for a few more selected for hand-processing) and while most were going to be batch-processed, these few however, I felt would need a bit of hand-processing. Most shot with my lovely 70-200 f2.8 lens or my wife's 100mm 2.8 macro. Individually tweaked, fixed, cleaned-up and processed.

All shots manual exposure, manual white-balance (daylight or cloudy) - Thanks Louis - it's actually faster. Yup, less is more, manual is faster and all that! Lots more use of highlight and shadows (in terms of light angles) and back-light!

My favorite of the action series!

Just a small collection of road and KTR signs from our last HK trip.

6 o'clock in the morning, at 2,400 feet above sea level, 14 degrees Centigrade, 57 degrees Fahrenheit. Kampung Sinai Baru.

After a big dinner, it's good to stroll outside for a while and breathe in the fresh sea air, chat a bit, relax and also enjoy the peace and quiet a bit. You don't get this kind of environment in KL and the Peninsular is definitely lacking in good beaches and fun things to do. I do miss Sabah now that I'm back and you can be 100% sure that I'll be back there again - this time, on a more adventurous trip!

On AirAsia Flight... AK 5100...

Oh well, not much for the next 4-5 days as I'll be traveling for a bit.
