Hmm... maybe end of the year when I go back to visit my grandma and my friends, I will join you guys if there's any outing

Click here for more places to shoot at Penang!!!

Best place for getting the essence of Penang into a shoot would a simple house, a typical chinese house. Huh? Why?

I believe that penang itself is a bastion of Chinese culture and simple living at it's best, i grew up in one of these houses, my grandfather was really a cinapek, he wore a pagoda singlet and the same cheap horse brand pants day in and day out, he loved working as a carpenter and making us furniture and had a side of the house dedicated to his "workshop", in the middle of house was an altar to Kuan Yin, that i could always see the flicker of in the dark when i slept in the living area.

My grandma would always wear those old granny baju and my cousins would help her cook wearing biasa t-shirt, shorts and selipar jepun, with their hair tied back, really chinese way of dressing at home. They'd help cook dinner and when it was time for it, everyone would crowd around this small table with my uncles and aunts and you'd see 10 people around a small round table crowding for food.

After makan everyone would go outside on the porch, sit down, read magazines, my grandparents would have a smoke, us younger fellers would sit by the small fish pond my grandad built and watch fish. Some would watch this 20 year old TV, the rest would relax and pop open a tiger beer and chat in the kitchen.

Now that's f***ing penang man. Not some goddamned botanical garden, it's about the people and laid back culture if you ask me. Try getting model to dress up in a simple ah lian at home style, do some home chores and get the lighting right, simple but holds meaning.

Woots.. Im also from penang XD ahaha..

That will hold true if the thread is about places to shoot in Penang to showcase the Penang flavour. But this thread is more like a thread of places to shoot in Penang, it doesn't need to be about Penang. It just have to be IN Penang.

So I guess all the botanical gardens have to go in since they are valid places for a photo shoot

Why bother driving 380 km if you can get the same effect back in KL ya?

hehe, why bother to drive 380 km?
the TS is in penang all the while

Teluk Kumbar long bridge also a quite nice place to shoot...

Lol as sorcerer said, coz the TS doesn't want to drive 380km to get the KL effect

I mean all the other guys who want to tag along

Garden shoots are so saturated it's become a cliche. It's a special place, dig out it's soul and take pictures of it.

queensbay
