Need to pay to get into the reserve. Took photo from outside of the enclosures..no further payment.

Shadow Play

A stop by our bus to top-up water to cool down the tyres ended up being a photo-shooting opportunity.
Lone hut on the plain surrounded by rolling hills, that's home to a local family.

More pix from the same spot

vert nice shoto on the shadow...all great shoot i can say...

finally i know how u look like....

meter on the bright, fill flash for the dark, i suppose.
i think the canon website on its tutorials section has this topic. just have to search for it.

TQ..TQ...Pl drop by more often, give CC so that can improve.

cute or not?

This technique always gets me wondering. Would the flash render the bright areas over-exposed? Also, mahu focus kat which area?

uh.....those pic are nice...vivid......but the balancing one is like blur a bit....like color is out.....
btw, what they cook in the solar cooker? any thing?? roast potato??
hehe...jk

Dunno what's cooking leh.

The balancing act pix one got me by surprise. She like suddenly came into the viewfinder when I was taking other scenes. Setting semua tak betul , didn't focus properly also, simply snap before she walks away.

oh....hehe...no wonder...

Ermei Shan

Yes. The same Ermei Shan referred to in many a chinese wu-xia movies. Learnt that the nuns symbolised in them movies is just a legend. The temples only had monks.

Massive urn with incessant flow if joss-sticks carrying prayers of the faithful to the Gods.



Tough work manually carrying concrete slabs up the mountain at Ermei. The thin air left me gasping for air just walking up the mountain. These men earn about RM10 per day. If it was some wu-xia movie, one could imagine these guys are some disciple going thru some tough training.



C & C appreciated.

dang, i missed the shadow play pics...
where do you meter the 1st and 2nd pic?
