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.

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.
cooknengr said…
Ah, another thingis the frame is "wrong" the vertical and horizontal should have the same width...go to Carpenter street and measure a photo frame :)

The Bung Jagoi Heritage Centre Hike and the Bung Tesen Peak Viewpoint

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...

But they only allow 4WD car to drive up, because some section are steep. Safety concern normal ca...

Camping at Pugu Beach Lundu Kuching

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....

Mount Hosanna Chapel with Wilson Chin, Borneo Sarawak

This is the Mount Hosanna Chapel, while on my way back from Sri Aman, I drop by this place, and it is located about 157 KM from Kuching city (near Seri Aman), Malaysian Borneo. You can see this chapel just beside the Kuching - Sri Aman highway. What interesting about this place first is the design of the chapel, and second will be the story behind it, and it goes like where God spoke to the philanthropist who funded the church construction and healed his wife which is diagnose with critical illness. When I meet one of the chapel members there, and asked about this, he deny this. And told me that this is not true, and it was the priest himself who raise the fund to build this chapel. So I walk up to the chapel, and visit the place. Saw a priest is currently blessing the members. The building looks like three big candles,  it means Trinity. In Christian doctrine, the Trinity is the unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as three persons in one Godhead ...
