The Peaks

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

I am back! It is a long time since my last update in this blog. A bit busy lately.

The photos below were taken a few weeks ago while I was visiting Nepal as part of Malaysian delegates. The visit was arranged by Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (Malaysian Branch) and Malaysian Highway Authority as part of collaboration between agencies from Malaysia and Nepal, as well as promoting technologies in highway construction. One of the attractions in Nepal were its series of mountain ranges, including Everest Himalayan Range where the Mount Everest is located.      

Part of the activities was visiting the Phewa Lake of Pokhara. From the lake, we saw the mountainous ranges (Anapurna Himalayan Range) at the background creating outstanding view of the lake, especially during calm weather when the sky is clear and so does the lake. The beautiful view of the mountain range will be reflected on the surface of the lake creating a serene view.

The cloudy sky during my visit prevented me from taking the photo that I wanted. However, the view was still beautiful on its own way.   

Please enjoy the view...

Bunga Api - Aidilfitri 2014


Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

I am back!

Wish to share the following photos of my son playing fireworks or we called it 'bunga api' in the nights prior to Idulfitri 2014.

It is hard to photograph the children playing with those 'bunga api' or mini fireworks due to lack of available light as well as lack of control of the children. Flash photography will not works in this environment as the flash will eliminate the beauty of the 'bunga api'. Therefore, have to fine tune the skills for low light photography and wished for some luck.

Please enjoy the photos...  



Thank you.
