I like both pictures!!
While it’s the same sky, the same cloud and the same glow above Kuching, your take of the sky is certainly unique and is a class of its own, and ahead of everyone else.
Undoubtedly you remain the best photographer in the whole of Kuching, that includes all the rivers, kiri or kanan.
Kid, you did it again, excellent pictures taken with a pocket digicam, just imagine what can you do with a DSLR...if I win the California lottery ticket, I'll buy you one.
First picture is almost like a fake, the top blue portion has an oil painting texture and right there when the color turns orange, it becomes a photo. Simply brillient. And the slanting boundary between the two constrast show the depth of th sky in a mysterious way...
second picture, although is the same as the first one, shows you have master the skill of lighting. Every rock in the forground is lit up, this is a very difficult tast, for people with normal photo skill, the rock is going to be dark. Yet yours showing light, not just light, but showing light from the setting sun with an angle of projection. The cloud formation of this picture shows a vortext, the transition of color is amazing. Great job kid, wish me luck in upcoming lottery ticket purchase.
chen - Doc, wow, ur life at 25 really hard. for me I'm consider bit lucky, as I work for office hours, and after work I can went home on the dot. thanks for sharing Doc :)
Jungleman and Eddie - Thank you both for the compliments, it give me more confident and more 'go power' to take better shoot. Each time when there is a scene in front of me, before I press that shutter button I will always asked myself how can I take this shoot to the next level. Now it give enough confident to participate the next photography competition at the Buddhist photography club. Hope my photo will not let me down. Eddie, I’m praying now and hope you strike the lottery, hehehehe.
Ai Yah, kid, you ruined the pictures with the frames. The bright frames takes the view's attention away. Try to reverse the frame's shading and see how does the effect look like, rignt now the frame make it looks like looking from a bright room, but you web page is black. If you reverse th frame, brighter in the inner frame, then the bright looks like it's from the setting sun. And change the color of the frame from white to a darker color..brown may be...just my thought. Toy around and find the best fit, good luck with te competition, if you dnopt get it, try again, you have talent.
With just around 320 meters above sea level, the Bung Jagoi it's one of the most family friendly trail available in Kuching. The trail is super easy to hike, and suitable for children and old people, a good weekend gateway. Not to forget it also has a very nice viewpoint on the summit peak. And if hiking is not your cup of tea, you can also bring your family to the waterfall, just a few mins hike at the base of the mountain. There is a big parking space for your car, a few ringgit per car. This is a restaurant, and we paid our entrance fees here. They also offer daily tour package, which includes food. A friend of mine bring his 70+ years old mother and two young children to hike together, and impressively she made it to the summit. A waterfall trail just below the mountain. Good for children, as I know my children like to play in the water more than hiking to the summit. Very clear water from the mountain. view along the way to the summit A souvenir shop a few mins before t
Mount Singai at Kuching Sarawak Infographic Mount Singai Basic Introduction In Kuching, besides the Mount Santubong , Mount Singai is one of the most prominent mount, where average hikers will reach up to more than 100 people on a normal weekend. Mount Singai is 550m above sea level, I climbed the mountain countless time. This is a sacred mountain which owns by the Bidayuh people (one of the local Sarawak ethnic group) Bi means people, dayuh means land. The various Bidayuh tribes, such as the Bisingai, Bijagoi, Bratak, Biperoh, Pinyawa, Bisapug, Bisitang, Biatah, Bibukar and Sadong, had different places in the mountains in the old days as places of refuge for defense purposes. Special traditional rituals and ceremony are being perform on the summit of the mountain. Now the Catholic Memorial & Pilgrimage Centre is located in the middle of this mountain. For people who like exercise, this is the perfect place to come. There are stairs built to ease the
On year 1958 Niah Caves was gazetted as National Historic Monument, followed by 1974 the limestone outcrop and forest margin of Gunung Subis was gazetted as Nial National Park, this is the oldest national park in Sarawak, and the smallest at 3,130 ha. This is a write-up of my trip together with my brothers hike up to Bukit Kasut situated at Niah National Park, and to show you some tips when hiking to Bukit Kasut. The entrance to go into the park is RM10 for local Sarawakian, and in order to reach the trail head, we will need to use a boat, which cost RM2 back and forth for one person. To go to the trail head, the boat ride its less than 1 min 😂 so its a good buisness for the boatman, as its run by a private company, not under the national park I think. The trail head is the same to go to Niah caves, just follow the path, there is only one starting point. There will be a sign with an arrow pointing to the right, to Bukit Kasut. There are two trails first start with
Bung Bratak is located at Kampung Tembawang in Bau, a hill that's takes about 30 minutes to reach to the heritage center on the top of the ridge. Previously it was once the Bidayuh hill settlement of seven longhouses. The trail are covered by fallen leaves, and quite a lot of mosquito along the trail. Oh yes, durian season soon Entrance fees its RM10 per entry, I told the reception that I dont intent to visit the heritage center, as I'm planning to just hike and then descent. However, the reception is kind enough by just allow me to go in and visit the place. Mount Singai can be seen from the entrance of the heritage center At the heritage center, they have a Bidayuh traditional round house known as the ‘baruk’, a dining hall with kitchen and a reception hall Another way up to the heritage center, a cement road. But they only allow 4WD car to drive up, because some section are steep. Safety concern normal car migh
Pugu Beach situated at Lundu, after Pandan beach. Drive all the way up you will see road sign showing where is the beach location. Its a long stretch of beach, which lead all the way to the river mount of Sungai Sebako Besar. My friends and I decided to visit the place, and stay at the resort hut which we paid RM50 per night. Pugu Beach is about 7.11km long from bukit Gondol. The day I visited, was a hazy day. Partly due to the heavy burning on our neighboring country Kalimantan. A panoramic view of the Pugu Beach, the view are very nice if you are at the top of the bukit Gondol. A small hill on the other end of the beach. Enjoying the time hanging out with my buddies. Long time did not meet up with them, and camping together with them. Hope in future, we can have time to go for adventure together, just like old time. This is a simple resort hut, they also have a toilet and washroom. But they don't sell food, so we have to bring our own food and water.
I went to visit the Japanese grave at Batu Lintang, Kuching. This is the place when the Japanese surrender, after the Americans drop two atomic bombs at Nagasaki and Hiroshima. Notice bellow the monument, there is a plate with both Japanese and English writing on it. And this is what it wrote on the plate. The origin of the monument, During the second world war when every able bodied man has enlisted in the Japanese war efforts a group of young boys fireherman aged 15 - 16 volunteered their service to help the country by ferrying food supply to Japanese trools of the Southern fronts. These courageous boys were from the fishing port of Yaizu which was famous in Japan for its plentiful supply for bonito and tuna fishes. In their tiny 50 tonnes worn out fishing boats the boys began ferrying food supply to the southern battlefronts. Torward the end of the war, then massive counter attacks by the Americans and the British had cause heavy defeats of the Japanese army, the young Y
