interest to know too..

consider some of the pulau?

newbie photographer here, i would like to tumpang please?

any milky way sifoo can tunjuk jalan ?

any group that i can join? wanna try shooting milky way too

wait for sifoo

last time saw 1 of the tv show, they shoot from redang

nice ? any foreground ?

cameron if weather permits

pantai sepat @ kuantan no bad
coconut trees as foreground

min 22:44

Which part of Cameron? The distance is a bit too far from KL though

as long you get to the outskirts, far enough from any city/town centre to avoid light pollution, then you should have no problem shooting the milky way

if I remember correctly I saw before a pic someone took in tasik kenyir or chini, quite nice

Years ago, I know star hunter association go Bukit Tinggi (the touristy one, not Klang). There is one park there with complete darkness.

If anyone want to form a group for milky way shooting?

bukit brinchang

brinchang = cameron ?

will join if the time is matched with my schedule
