More SS4 2008 Retreat Photos

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!

First Batch of Retreat Pix

nospam@example.com (Eugene Khoo) — Tue, 29 Apr 2008 22:00:09 -0400

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!

Hong Kong Signs

Sunday Sunrise

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

The Pacific at Sutera Harbour

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!

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

Been busy with a lot of work and more work and other types of work... so here's some photos from my Cameron's trip in January with my Nokia N80.

Nope, not from middle-earth but from the middle-kingdom. Huangshan to be precise.

A relaxing weekend that was...

The photos are here.

Enjoying the tub!

The best thing is the surroundings. You're in the middle of the forest and you have a river flowing next to the hot springs.

How would you like your eggs done?

nospam@example.com (Eugene Khoo) — Sat, 02 Sep 2006 17:11:03 -0400

1/4 boiled? 1/2 boiled? 3/4 boiled? Or well done?

Egg basket, time it for 3 minutes!
