I was at one of the sites that I am currently working on in Sapulut (40km away from Nabawan). I captured this shot early this morning. The cicada was on the ground and to get this particular shot, I was lying down flat on my belly, much to the amusement of my contractors. Only after taking this shot and showing it to them, did they realize that I was not so crazy after all.

This was an impromptu photoshoot session held last weekend. There we two other photographer friends (Jolene & Dhillon) who were there as well. This shot was taken in the evening as the sun was about to set. The lighting condition were not that good as the sky was overcast. It was fun doing this photoshoot and it has been a long long time since I set foot on a suspension bridge.

I went to visit some friends who had set up a stall beside the Babagon River selling foods to those who come there for picnic. This guy was in the river, with two other friends and they were trying to balance one rock on an other. Took them quite some time to get the balancing right and the weight distribution right.

This shot was taken last month at Point and Shoot Studio in Kepayan, Sabah. The studio belongs to a photographer friend of mine. This was my first studio experience and I learnt a lot of things especially with regards to lighting and all. In the original shot, the photo taken was a bit over exposed, so I converted it to black and white as not to make the harsh lighting look very obvious.

Apologies

I would like to apologize to visitors of this blog for the long absence. It is not that I have not been taking any photo, but I just couldn't find the time to update this blog. A lot has been happening and I apologize for neglecting this blog.

Anyway, moving forward, I will be updating this blog soon. I have a lot of photos to share, but the commitment that I made to post one photo a day has been broken. I will try to back date as much as possible, and include so photos that I have take recently.

In the mean time, please feel free to drop by my flickr account. Do add me as a contact as I do update the flickr account periodically. Click on the link below to view my flickr profile.
