Remembrance Day @ Labuan Memorial Park

Canon EOS 40D. EXIF: ISO 125, 1/800s, f/4.5, 31mm.

Remembrance Day is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It's an annual event which is held on the 11th hour, 11th day of the 11th month of the year. At Labuan World War II Memorial Park, it is to commemorate 4,000 Australian, New Zealand, and British Allied servicemen who had lost their lives during the occupation of the Japanese at Labuan (which was renamed as Maida Island by the Japanese at that time).

Wreath of artificial poppies, as symbol of remembrance, was placed onto one of the soldier's memorial plate. Poppy is worn on lapel as shown of remembrance too.

Ring around Sun (Sun Halo) @ Labuan

Canon EOS 350D. EXIF: ISO 100, 1/500s, f/22, 18mm.

Took this shot after a cousin of mine SMS me to look up the sky. Only able to see the rainbow around sun after putting on my sunglass as the sun is too bright. This sun halo is formed by thin layer of ice crystal appear at high atmosphere.

-------------------------------------------------
Side notes: A few photo of "strange" phenomena occur around the sun halo published by the one of the local daily headline. I really DOUBT it's not caused by reflection of lens (some more it's taken from camera phone lens) and finally found this which explain everything. Probably this is the biggest joke ever on Unidentified Flying Object. :P

Those are my son's toes. It's in an 'S' formation which makes you want to count them so that you know which leg they belong to. Happy 07.07.07 :)

Sunset @ Labuan

Canon EOS 350D. EXIF: ISO 200, 1/1250s, f/10, 55mm.


I was on a shooting activity with my friend to capture the sunset facing the South China Sea @ Labuan when I saw a boy helping his dad spreading the fishing net. So, I thought it will be great if I capture this action in silhouette effect.

2007

Canon EOS 350D. EXIF: ISO 100, 4s, f/10, 21mm.

Hope it's not too late to post this photo. It was once-in-a-life-time opportunity to have The Curve & One Utama sponsoring fireworks display at the same time. This shot is the best I can get. The fireworks at The Curve will always be my favourite (About 11 minutes long). One Utama does not seem to be too generous on its fireworks probably due to the huge publicity in the media. (Less varieties & about 7 minutes long). Anyway, looking forward for a good photographing experience in Visit Malaysia Year (VMY) 2007!!

Last but not least, peace to the world and hope everyone has a good start ahead in 2007. I want to dedicate this to my wife and son as well. Cheers!!!

Took this shot as I like the design of this card given by my friends.

Our Wedding Rings

Just bought my Canon EF 50mm 1.8 yesterday. I would say it's not easy to shoot under such shallow DOF. Practice practice practice. Here's the end result (cropped). As usual, click on the photo to view best quality.

This shot was taken one day after the Hungry Ghost Festival. Great...there is twice this year. :(

Panning Technique

This is the first time I did panning technique. It's really challenging. The TAMIYA Asia Cup Qualifying Series was held in the Oval, One Utama. This shot was taken during the practice session. With such low light condition & no fast lense, I had to use ISO 1600 to get my shots. It's a wonder experience.

Fashion @ The Curve

Canon EOS 350D. EXIF: ISO 800, 1/200s, f/5, 168mm.

I had been very busy this few weeks. Had no time to process & post the photos I took. This shot was taken during the fashion week @ The Curve, Mutiara Damansara 2 weeks ago. I had desaturate the crowd at the background so that the models are more stand out. Hope you enjoy it.

Trip to Penang

This shot was taken from Penang Hill (Bukit Bendara) during my trip to Penang last week. The early morning mist was quite heavy. So, I have to adjust level & color balance in PS. Yes, I have also cropped to make it more presentable. :) Do click on the photo for better quality view. Have a nice week.
