Newbie in photography here, just wish to share with you my trip to Cameron Highlands during the weekend.

First stop, we stop by at Kampar for lunch..

Kampar is a town in the state of Perak, Malaysia. It is situated due south of Simpang Pulai. It was a tin mining town which boomed during the heights of the tin mining industry. There used to be many tin mines on the outskirts of Kampar, but most have closed down following the collapse of the industry. Kampar was established in 1887.

Some shots from the town plus an amazingly disgusting pic, viewer discretion advised..







Some pictures of the town.

We had lunch in this chinese restaurant, went to visit the loo to my horror contributed was my WORST POTTY EXPERIENCE in Malaysia... Well known for its dodgy toilets, nothing beats this one. Reminds me of the toilets in China..

WARNING!

At the restaurant, went to relieve myself. TO MY HORROR the toilet is absolutely terrible. They were no toilet bowls around, there is this urinal which had this broken pipe. I though i was in the wrong place, asked the coffee shop ah pek and he say its this. Nothing to say i left in disgust, went next door shop to borrow toilet.. I know there are other worst toilets out there but certainly this is the worst for me.. wouldnt want to come here again. The food wasn't that great too...



NEXT STOP: UP UP AND AWAY THE MOUNTAINS!!

Soon after lunch in Kampar, we moved on...

I thought there was a Tesco Hypermarket in the middle of nowhere, double checked a distribution centre...


While up the mountains, we reached heaven.. There were this very big chunk of mist+cloud.. quite an interesting sight but the pics were taken inside the car so maybe there will turn out not amazing as what i think it would be..




NEXT! We stopped by at this Nursery with Self Plucking Strawberries .. neat eh?


Inside, vegetables for sell! LELONG LELONG

hmm...first off...i also noob in photography..but hope you find these comments useful:
-the first few pics no catch...or should i say the composition not that good
-the red cactus you should focus either on one cactus...also try diff angle..
-the green cactus not bad
-too close to the strawberry
-the vegetable pic quite nice

overall you need to work on your composition...coz the pics macam tak ada feel...maybe i am wrong...coz thats my opinion only...and i know nothing bout photography..don angry me ar
