We (me, Shunfa, Lio JH, Jason Loo) are honour that got invited to be photographers for the coffee-table book of FRIM Bidor, not much people know about this place but this is a GREAT project done by FRIM (Dr L.H. Ang and other contribute … )

This is a greening project for an ex-tin mining Lake (or call reforestration), where FRIM spend years to convert/green the  “sand” land … and if you able to go into the compound, you will WOW WOW WOW by the result … and we were there for months and able to capture so many different kinds of floras, fauna, birds, fishes .. etc …. after this project make me feel I should love and enjoy forest more … the forests are here, pls enjoy, love & preserve them….

Landscape : Will you go out for Photography while Monsoon Season ?

every year Nov -Jan , Peninsular Malaysia will have Monsoon season or we call raining season … some places of east coast of Malaysia always face flood issue after days raining … and most of the fisherman stop go out to sea due to the bad weather ….

Most of the photographer will get rest this period as normally the sky look cloudy … wave is too strong …. but I have the plan to shoot the wave, slow shutter … and if luck on my side then I can get strong wave hit the rock .. so  I went there 2 times 2010 for my wish …. even though we not seeing any sun at all for ~6 days trip but I still enjoy the strong wave … and beautiful places found (thanks Yusri, Azizi & CK Zinal for bringing us there…)

a quick capture how strong is the wave

even we missed out the beautiful egg yolk

but we still trying our best to get some slow shutter shots

cloudy day is good too

How Shunfa shooting a slow shutter in this type of environment … and video below show how he shoot slow shutter without filter holder 😀

there are few issue shooting in this type of environment

1. get ready be wet, get extra shirt, pants ….
2. protect your gear
3. solid tripod
4. look for stable ground (rocks) for tripod
5. temperature different cause Water vapor inside len

safety first ……..
