Light Bringer

I would like to share my Bersih 3.0 experience with you guys all there. Why i attend it? Well the reason is obvious, to document this historic event in photographs.  Will i gain anything? Maybe yes and maybe not and if not careful i could have been killed in action too! It all started at Subang Jaya KTM station. It is packed like Sardine can food. Everyone was pushing each other to get into the train the Malaysian way...nobody queue up. The old and women with children will suffer.. Basically my first mission of the day is to get to Jalan Sultan by public transport cause most of the major road heading towards there are closed. I try to travel light but end up with 2 bags, one to carry my extra stuff such as mineral water, cookies, IC, money, towel, salt etc..and another one for my Olympus OM-D camera. So in short i travel "heavy"  When i reach there, the Royal Malaysia Police all acted "calmly". They did not beat us or scold us. They just stand in line para...

Do you like the Olympus Art Filter? i certainly do. It transform the pic into an interesting pic. this photo is capture at 6pm afternoon and the lighting and dark sky certainly do not help. Lucky i recall the famous Dramatic Art filter and decided to give it a try. To my surprice it turn up pretty neat. Best of all i dont need to spend a lot of time to photoshop and get this effect. It is straigh out of the camera! Photography is so enjoyable now..

Day 2 in Penang. I have decide to visit a place which is Baby friendly! After much consideration i selected Penang Hill. I am sure Emma will love the cold weather, nice scenery and enjoy the flora and fauna. As usual i will take this oppurtunity to test out my new Olympus OM-D. Alot of people complain about the ergonomics and on the contrary i kinda of this the ergonomic is good.! In fact just perfect for my small hand. The light weight certainly help my new parents like me when i have to carry a papa bag and the camera bag as well. I did carry the Olympus 45mm f1.8 with me but i find it most of the time i will use the kit lens 12-50mm. The kit lens is certainly a versatile lens with its wide focal length, from wide angle to medium tele range. 1.0 This is where it all begin. Penang Hill Cable car ride at Ayer Itam. 2.0 The cable car..is fast like a sport car. Expect a speedy ride. My initial impression of a slow and steady enjoyable ride is devastated when the cable...

iso6400 23m f5 1/25sec  It was already very late at 9-10pm after my dinner...So me and my 2 bb stroll along Jalan Burma in search of more nice food..however our mission fail because on sunday a lot of stall is closed! However i manage to test my new Olympus OM-D camera..yeah time for high iso test..!! Surprisingly ISO 6400 is very usable compare to my Olympus EP2 and E3. Well how can i compare them cause the technology is years apart..But what is worth mentioning here is OM-D allow m43 and 43 users to experience shooting at high ISO where previously this is a taboo or forbidden area for 43 or m43 users~!  iso6400 12mm f3.5 1/50 sec iso6400 12mm f3/5 1/60 sec

I reach Heritage Hotel at Jalan Burma around 6pm..First thing i do is to hunt for food withing the walking distance~! I manage to find one restaurant with foreign worker selling prawn mee. I think he is a Burmese. Anyway i just give it a try and wtf..it was surprisingly good and freaking cheap..It just cost me rm2...yes RM2!!!!! But dont expect big prawn in it due to the price tag... OM-D ISO3200 f5.8 1/60 sec The char keoy teow in Penang is pretty much standard. A lot of people will tell you lorong selamat has the best char keoy teow but in actual fact..90% of them taste the same..  OM-D ISO3200 f6 1/50 sec
