Waterfall hunting at Sungai Gabai

March 2, 2009

Been waiting for a while to go out and find waterfalls around Hulu Langat area, and finally had the time to do so. Sungai Gabai, or Gabai Waterfalls according to some people is amazingly nice and really beautiful in the early mornings. I must say tho this time I shot very little shots of the waterfall but I’m very much happy with most of the outcome.

Upon arrival to Sg Gabai waterfalls you would have to climb up a long steep staircase to the top where the picnic area is. The journey up isn’t all boring as there are some rest stops and with might fine view of this really steep waterfall. I would recomend this place to anyone who loves nature or would like to escape from the busy streets of KL to just relax and have fun. It’s best to go on a weekday if possible or early in the weekends as there’s alot of people going there and according to the parking attendant the parking stretch can be as long as 1KM!

Enjoy the pictures

Steamy morning

here’s another

I like this too but there’s a lil flaw if you can spot it.

Another fav

Reminiscing the past of uncertainty

December 3, 2008

Don’t know what made me go through my old pictures all of a sudden..maybe because in a matter of days I’ll be parting with my camera? I remember going through these sets of picture which I took quite sometime ago, August 2nd to be exact. Last I recall I wasn’t very happy with those shots as it was a really cloudy day in KL city.

So as I was browsing through these sets of pictures this particular one hit me..kind of er…shows how I feel at the moment..I’m not too sure why but it reminds or shows me my current feeling…

An escape to nature, Sungai Congkak

October 3, 2008

I was suppose to organize a trip to Sungai Congkak in Hulu Langat for some photographers. The only problem was the last time I was there was about 9 years ago. Since 1/10/2008 is a holiday and is the 1st day of Hari Raya I went with a friend to scout around and enjoy some fresh air.

Here’s some pictures we took;

Besides having rivers there was also BIG…as in REALLY BIG ants…we didn’t manage to make it to the waterfall as the hike was pretty long and we were not geared up righ..maybe next time?

Last but not least…my partner in crime…I know I have a thing for not showing my face..but lets see if you are lucky enough to see my face again.

*note: No editing or filter was used in these pics. All pictures are straight from camera. Only copyright in the exif was done in photoshop

Lookout Point visit

July 11, 2008

This post is a lil late, as I lost my mood to even look at my pictures. They didn’t turn out near “ok” standards..but here it is anyways, Lookout Point Take 1. Will be going back there again for better shots. Or maybe will keep going till I get what I want. Oh yea this outing was last Saturday (5th July 2008)

So I was there with a bunch of photogs, but more accurately I was there with Valiant early. Surprisingly theres quite a variety of food there. We then sat at gasoline…waiting for the sun to set and for the others from facebook to arrive.

This is one of those earlier shots I took. Figured I try to use the trees as framing..some sort. Nice ar?

Sun almost setting already.

here’s how the place look like, roughly. Pretty pleasant environment if you ask me. If it was only a lil less noisy it would be a good place to bring you love ones for a date.

Sun finally sets..I was a little late…only manage to get this shot. Plus really cloudy weather so couldn’t have a decent picture.

It may not be the perfect sharp picture..but i love the tone of the sky

Sharpest picture I have..but not quite up to standard.

My one and only attempt to do this …quite ok la…not tat bad rite?hah…also battery died early that day..most shots were done with Valiant’s battery. Thanks man.

Busy outing day (Part 1)

June 29, 2008

Lots of events today, Tamron had something going on, Low Yat Forumers had 2 outings. One at Bukit Jalil and the other is at the butterfly part. I initially only plan to go to Bukit Jalil to have a look and then proceed to the dog’s Olympics at 1Utama. But when I was there, it rained and so I was forced to stay for a while..and also ended up taking some shots. The initial plan was to go pick up my bean bag from Ian at Bukit Jalil then to 1U for the dog’s Olympics then to Cheras Leisure Mall for the Judo competition.

Anyways,…here some of the pictures I took. I didn’t really participate in the shooting as I was more fascinated with the hut/house we were taking shelter in..but none of the pics turn out the way I wanted it. Also most of the pictures were too exposed at some area. As I thought having flashes around me would help me in someways but also make my shots a lot harder to take as some shots would turn out too bright.

Xin Hui, one of the models who was there. Though I wasn’t really taking pictures of her when I was there, I was watching her on and off and couldn’t help but notice that she really know how to pose…or should I say..she really has a lot of posses in stock.

I love her eyes, she has very er…expressive eyes, I’m not sure if its just me or its just me..but I really love the emotion she shows in her eyes. Sadly this is the best shot I have of her..could have been a lil more hardworking and move closer to take a better picture.
