12 Things To Do In Udo Island, Jeju-do

Image
Udo ( also called U-island), a small island located at the eastern coast of Jeju Island. Udo Island was named because it resembles a lying cow. It boasts fertile soil, abundant schools of fish, and scenic sights; local heritages (female divers, stone walls, and stone tombs) as well as natural attractions abound on the island, making it a miniature of Jeju Island. The island is also full of amenities and tourism outlets: fishing, bike trails, sand massages, submarine tours and cruises. Seobin Baeksa (a white beach designated Natural Monument No. 438) has appeared regularly in films and TV commercials thanks to its breathtaking white sand and emerald sea. The sea around the beach showcases different colors depending on the water level. This makes Seobin Baeksa one of the most popular tourist attractions in Jeju-do, along with Hallasan Mountain . Standing on Udobong Peak (132.5m), the highest spot on the island, is a lighthouse surrounded by a spacious park. The peak offer

[Photowalk] Thaipusam 2016 @ Batu Caves Malaysia

[Photowalk] Thaipusam Festival at Batu Caves Malaysia 2016 Last year was my first time to pay a visit to Batu Caves for Thaipusam Festival thanks to Robin Wong and friends. This year, I went to Batu Caves again with Raymond and girlfriend since this will be her first time seeing the festival in real time. This time we drove and parked our car near one of the petrol station in Batu Caves area. Reached around 6.31 am  and started shooting around the river since the preparation for Thaipusam started there. Noted they have renovated the shower area with proper marble stone but kinda block views for photographers. When compared to last year Thaipusam Festival, I find that less crowded this time. Maybe because I came at a different timing and it was easier to climb uphill to reach the top too. Instead of having multiple post about Thaipusam, I am going to finalize the photos and frame them in Instagram square size. Hope you like the Thaipusam photos that I captured at Batu Ca

【照片】小男孩樂團 MEN ENVY CHILDREN 馬來西亞首場演唱會

“小男孩樂團 MEN ENVY CHILDREN” - 這是我在近期機緣巧合下認識到的團體。當時受邀出席小男孩的音樂會就到SPOTIFY搜尋他們的音樂試聽一下。只聽了一首歌,就被主唱的魅力給完全吸引住了。那首歌就是 “EVERYTHING” 。老實說,要完整無誤記得EVERYTHING的歌詞還真不容易,直到了解了歌詞的含義,想像兩個人慢慢從陌生人到世界末日也要在一起的故事情節,才對歌詞的印象更為深刻。 既然我知道我的文字表達方式並不精彩,這一次的小男孩樂團音樂會就由照片來說故事吧。主唱Mify米非有說道希望我們拍照不要拍到她飆歌飆到“七情流露”的照片,所以我這一次放多了些心思拍出不一樣的米非。在這個照片集裡,Hanz漢斯永遠都是保持笑容的,團長Vince昌哥戴上墨鏡酷酷的RAP和玩吉他的模樣,鼓手Kai俊凱打鼓時不時流露出孩子氣,享受擊鼓的樂趣表情。看以下照片你們就知道啦。

OLABOLA - A Movie Not Just About Football But... #OlaBola

OLABOLA - A Movie Not Just About Football But Differences and Unity This morning I went to Berjaya Time Square GSC Maxx for OLABOLA Special Media Screening courtesy of Astro. The traffic jam was really bad but I am glad I make it on time.With the success of the movie 《一路有你 The Journey》 , I did put high expectation for OlaBola movie this time. Let's watch the movie trailer first to have an idea of the story line?? OLABOLA - Official Trailer 28 January 2016 Olabola Synopsis "Marianne, a young professional, is disillusioned with her working life in Malaysia. Feeling she has had enough, she prepares to leave for England‘s greener pastures. But her one final assignment leads her to discover a story so amazing, it literally changes her life.

6 Primary Features of Nikon D5

6 Primary Features of Nikon D5 Yesterday Nikon has announced the new  Nikon D5 , Nikon KeyMission 360 and SnapBridge . As a user of Nikon camera (currently still using D800), I shall share with you some of the main features of the Nikon D5. Based on what I've read, the D5 has so much more autofocus points now with cross-type sensors. I guess that means it can focus more accurately and suitable for continuous shots like sport car, motor racing, gymnastic, football and some other extreme sport. From what I've read, it seems like Nikon D5 is more suitable for professional photographers who love to shoot sports and some low light photography especially in wild-life category.  Since my ideal new camera is to go as lighter and smaller as it can, yet not neglecting the quality of images, I don't think that I would carry this 1.4kg camera around especially when I am travelling. Another reason not to go for this yet, the Nikon D5 is selling at USD $6,500 for the body

Melody x Azmie | Dancing In The City #SkyArtsPro

Melody x Azmie | Dancing In The City I still remember it was a random photography outing in September that I got myself into. Gary has been planning this with Melody for months and I was like "okay let's just go there kacau to shoot something different" .  I brought along girlfriend to the shoot in KL and the first location was at the parking lot near Pavilion KL. Gary was doing his 'Architecture x Dance' 4th Series featuring Melody and Azmie while I just shooting from the side warming up myself. I was trying to capture something like Gary did but after looking back at the photo series, it seems like I tends to capture more on those candid moments happened between the really-not-easy-dance posing shots.  Gotta say thanks to Melody Tee and Azmie Zanal Abdden for thinking all sorts of dance moves and poses while we composite the photos. I gotta say it was definitely not easy to do all those poses and hold it for as long as they can. I can really
