ne trees it was a difficult shot to take considering that the sun has already set light was fading and the brightness of the waterfall in the background totally overshadows the interesting pine trees that frames it i took a couple of shot i was pleasantly surprised with the outcome posted by daddy at 1 14 pm no comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels seattle snoqualmie falls waterfall wednesday april 20 2016 great wall first snow in autumn i am back but briefly unfortunately living in china is great but unfortunately the great firewall of china meant updating blogspot or wordpress such a pain even with paid vpn since i am back in malaysia for a short one week i thought i will take some time just to add a post to this blog of mine i actually missed updating it but unfortunately i have been having so much problems updating pictures to this blog and since this is a photography blog it would be rather meaningless to update it without being able to upload any pictures for this one entry i would like to share the one moment of a lifetime i had recently and it had to do with the great wall of china since moving to china i have been very impressed with this magnificent structure and has went to different parts of the wall to photograph it from summer spring and winter with the snow the one season that i had not been there was autumn when the leaves turned yellow and orange and i heard that it would be nice hence during the last autumn last year i waited till it was rather late in autumn making sure that there would be some orange leaves to make my trip i wanted to hike the wild sections of the wall and i called my trusted guide aaron to arrange for a short hike from jiankou to mutianyu a 2 hours hike along the wall the morning came and when i woke up beijing was snowing snowing in beijing is rather rare considering that beijing is dry it can get bitterly cold but without water moisture there were hardly any snow in the past 3 years not only was it snowing we are officially still in autumn and it was snowing hard and it was cold i was apprehensive and was considering cancelling the trip because i was afraid that it would be too cold to hike the wall with snow concerned friends advised me to cancel the trip as it would be dangerous all the more that i would be hiking the wild unrestored walls some called me crazy however i was thinking that this would be a chance of a lifetime to not only photograph the great wall with all the autumn leaves but also to photograph the wall with fresh snow in autumn i called aaron and asked if he has any concern of safety aaron being aaron is always super confident and said that it would be perfectly safe on the stretches we intend to hike that day taking his advice we pushed on it was snowing throughout the 2 hours car journey to the section at jiankou from beijing as we near the wall i can see from afar how thick the snow has covered some parts of the wall and she looked absolutely enchanting the drive along the slippery road to the drop off point was far from easy there were times when the car could barely get a grip on the slippery road considering that the snow was so fresh and the driver was not prepare to drive that morning in the snow what a view the trip turned out to be it was still snowing and since this is the first snow of the season and we were probably the one people out there on the wall there were literally no footprints on the wall but ours i had both my wishes fulfilled in one morning photographing the great wall of china in autumn with the autumn leaves and fresh snow of winter this is definitely a chance of a lifetime and i was there what a trip it turned out to be i was mesmerised with the breathtaking view of this magnificent structure in all her majesty covered with that white blanket of snow dotted with yellow orange and red leaves of autumn i have finally seen the wall in all her four seasons and more posted by daddy at

around tanjung jara resort a rare double rainbow caught over the horizon as the sun sets it has been quite awhile now since i updated this blog and the main reason is that i have been having problems loading pictures to this blog via a vpn since blogspot is being blocked in china what is a photography blog without pictures since i am currently back in malaysia for a short holiday i thought i give this blog a try to see if i could load a picture and viola here i am since my last update here i have already traded in my trusty nikon d90 and most of the lenses with my current nikon d610 and have even got myself my dream lens the nikkor 70 200mm f2 8 vrii from a passion i am now working as a free lance photographer in beijing shooting for several hotels on a regular basis besides fulfilling one of my dreams and wish which was to use my skills for charity in my 2 5 years now in beijing i have helped some malaysia students in their charity work in xian an malaysian cultural event held by the malaysian students studying in beijing as well helping to photograph the beautiful progress of a special dance project known as the inspiring dance project also initiated by a fellow malaysian aimed at bringing dancing as a mean of expression motivation and inspiration to children especially to the less fortunate around beijing so as you can see i am still very much alive and kicking and love to continue to update this blog as much as i possibly can back to what i do best photography my family and i revisited tanjung jara resort in dungun terengganu recently while we are back in malaysia for a 6 nights getaway it was awesome as usual with good service cosy and comfortable room and plenty of space for the children to run around the last time i was here i barely got my d90 with only one kit lens which was the nikkor 18 105mm i did managed to capture some pretty amazing shots then but i was determined to see if my skills have improved over the years and if i could capture a different side of this resort or the sunrise of the six nights that we were there i was a little too lazy to get up for the early morning sunrise of the three mornings that i did one particular morning was simply spectacular i have done some survey of the beach when i arrive to pick up some interesting place to photograph the sunrise hence when i went down to the beach i knew exactly where i wanted to go i have always been interested to photograph the golden hours of photography especially by the beaches and the waves but during my early years of photography i hardly knew how i had a little practice when i was in hawaii and new zealand and i was determined to try that out again here at tanjung jara these are some of the shots using long exposure to capture the flowing and splashing waves around the rocks sunrise over the horizon at tanjung jara resort dungun terengganu over the years i have also noticed that by having someone in a picture lends a more interesting story to the picture i have an old picture of tanjung jara when i first came here 5 years ago of a lone fisherman walking along the beach this time around i have a lone fisherman walking and fishing on some rocks out in the sea which i find interesting however the best moment of the entire trip was something totally unexpected and that probably is why photography is so mesmerising as we were playing on the beach and walking back to our rooms on the very last evening before we are due to leave my daughter noticed a rainbow over the horizon at sunset everyone was so excited luckily i had my camera with me and my lens had the cpl filter on i captured several shots before the rainbow quickly disappeared to my surprise what we have witness when i was processing the pictures was not one single rainbow but a double rainbow captured over the horizon during the golden hours i was a happy man and this will probably be my only opportunity to capture this rare moment for many years to come till then i will try to update this blog as i possibly can rest be assured even if this blog is not updated as often as i would like to be i am still around and clicking away cheers posted by daddy at 10

of dawn you should catch the sunrise here tomorrow morning from one of our bigger bridges the restaurant owner said it is beautiful and much better than sunset he added what time does the sun rises nowadays i asked around 6 to 6 30 am he replied with that information i told my son to set the alarm at 6 am the next morning and went to bed hoping for a spectacular sunrise over the ancient water town of wuzhen it was cold when the alarm went off at 6 am what do you expect since it is right in the middle of winter my son rolled over after switching off the alarm he is definitely not an early riser and no amount of sunrise is going to get him off that warm bed i was struggling too and almost dozed off when my wife reminded me that it was already 6 30 am and i better get my ass off the bed if i ever wanted to catch the sunrise i picked up my gear put on my winter jacket and ventured out into the cold misty morning any hope of getting that perfect sunrise was dashed when i walked onto slippery wet walking paths as it has been raining the night before apparently the sky was gloomy and downcast and more rain was forecast for the day i was somewhat disappointed but as i stood on one of the stone bridges looking towards the two rows of houses lining the water canal and a mist covering the rest some distance away i realized that i was presented with a different perspective of this ancient water town in the morning one that is cold and damn sleepy quiet and tranquil and that was exactly what i was feeling right that moment standing on the bridge the wind has not picked up and the water was calm at 6 45 am before the harsh sunlight breaks through i could still get decent long exposure shot without using any big stoppers to cut down the light i did not manage to get a lot of shots during the day when we first arrived the day before with two little toddlers tagging along although i did managed to capture what i wanted to see at night being alone now with just my camera and my gear and without having to rush through every shot i could go about checking each shot through different angles and settings the town was practically deserted at this hour most of the overnight visitors were still in their warm bed i guessed none was as crazy as i am braving the chill and the freezing temperatures just hoping to get some good pictures many i guessed just as i was initially thought that there were no opportunities to catch a good sunrise with the gloomy weather and hence gave up the idea whatever their reasons were i was glad as i get to have the entire town almost to myself as i took shot after shot from this bridge to the next i began to realize that these are scenes and atmosphere that i wanted to capture of an ancient water town not just the bright lights and their reflections on the water but the dreamy feel of a sleepy ancient water town without the commercialisation in all her serenity and tranquility allowing your imagination to go back hundreds of years the bridge in bridge during the day with both bridges in view as well as their clear reflections on the calm waters as day brightened this sleepy town started to wake up with some residents getting their shops ready for the day workers started to arrive bringing along their breakfast for yet another busy day hoping that the crowd would be larger since it is a weekend as the day brightens i caught this little boat starting his round to start off another day down the river by 8 a m the rain had started to drizzle signalling me that it is time to head back to the hotel as i walked back i saw more tourists now coming out from the hotels taking a walk among the wet walking paths taking pictures here and there i had my fair share and i would like to believe the better parts too by the time we walked over for our breakfast around 9 30 a m the slight drizzle has got heavier and so has the crowd both from those staying overnight and those arriving for the day all decked in raincoats or umbrellas jostling around the narrow alleys and bridges for their pictures i walked past them with a grin and a smile on my face knowing deep inside i am a contended man and having had the best moments of a misty dreamy wuzhen an ancient water town of over 1200 years history at the breaking of dawn posted by daddy at 1 25 pm 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels ancient beijing china photography sunrise travel water town wuzhen wednesday january 15 2014 wuzhen at night sunrise and sunset are termed as the golden hours for any landscape photographers because the light is not direct and harsh and the often times the multi color skies added with some dramatic clouds formation sometimes accompanied by a round red or orange sun captured made almost a postcard like picture i was hoping for the same as i hurriedly walked about wuzhen to find a right spot where i could spot the sun going down checking the direction constantly with my iphone compass however the downcast skies during the day and the clouds obscure any chance whatsoever to see a dramatic sunset for the day i was lucky that at least it was not raining as the day before or the day we left wuzhen but sunset is not all about dramatic colorful skies or bright perfect orange sun as i found out here in wuzhen as dusk approached where the sun had already set this ancient water town was cloaked in a shade of yellowish orange light and a slight mist in a distance with almost perfect reflection of the houses on still and calm waters adds a dreamy feel to this historic town dusk falling upon this ancient water town of wuzhen calmness and tranquility at dusk but the real beauty of wuzhen is when the lights come on at night that was the whole reason we ended up in wuzhen we were supposed to visit another ancient water town somewhere else nearer to suzhou but when i specifically told my guide that i wanted to take night photography he recommended wuzhen instead and insisted that we must stayed a night his recommendation was spot on as the night approaches the lights began to come on one after another and the entire place takes on a totally different feel in fact it comes alive as the night sets in the lights came on and the entire town takes on a different perspective feel and atmosphere it comes alive the crowd began to swell bearing in mind that it was winter with temperature in low single digit and it was a weekday i just got my d610 my new s...
