At the Beach

The following photos are taken at Tanjung Aru beach earlier in the evening. The initial plan was to snap photos of the breathtaking sunset, like what I did last year. You can check them out here. However, luck was not on our side. There was a thick cloud in the horizon, covering the golden sun. Nevertheless, I manage to capture these shots.

Behind This Eye

A Forgotten City

My friend, Johnny told me that Ipoh is called the "forgotten city". I believe it is due to the lack of development projects in Ipoh compared to the other cities in Malaysia. The city does not have a huge shopping mall or sky-rising buildings. The simple fact is, Ipoh is an old, old city.

However, the word "old" does not necessarily mean "ugly". Recently, I've been experimenting a lot with street shots in the city. And I realize that Ipoh is an amazing spot for this, especially with the existence of the old looking, rustic buildings and shophouses. Well, you'll be a judge on this one!

(I've taken the following photos using an Olympus FE-170 digital camera that I borrowed from Johnny. I'm actually very impressed with the quality of pictures produced by this camera, especially with the image stabilization function. The photos are taken earlier today, in a cloudy weather condition)

Perhaps if you're a fan of photography, Ipoh won't be such a dull place after all.

Nightlife in Ipoh

Finally, exam's over! Last night, me and my Sabahan friends headed off to Kinta City Shopping Mall to have a blast of fun. I grabbed the opportunity to capture the nightlife in the streets of Ipoh; actually it's my first attempt as well. I seldom experiment with night shots, due to the limitation of my camera. Nevertheless, I'm very happy with the outcome of the pictures. Enjoy!
