Alright, this round I’m going to tell you the story about our second stop during our days in Vietnam. As the title can tell, we are heading to Halong Bay on the second day of our 5 days tour.
Read MoreSpice garden (Batu Ferringhi) isn’t just about its spices only. It serves as a major photo-shooting choice for many of local folks as well as those from outstation. I was *ahem* honored to be able to do a couple photo-shoot session with my colleague earlier last week. The result….
Shame to tell that this is my very first time covering couple photo shooting. There’s really lots to learn from this outing. Apart from being able to test my newly acquired reflector, I have learned a lot on how to coordinate the whole process. The next outing would be definitely better in photo quality, faster in shooting and setting-up and lighter in equipments carried.
Lots of thanks to Wendy for helping out in this photo shooting session. She fell sick one day after that due to dehydration. Some photos are taken by her too!

This is the very first time I step my foot on Sungai Palas Boh tea plantation field. It was a chaotic moment squeezing through the traffic up the highland and into the tea field in the long weekend. Traveling from point A to B that usually takes a 10minutes becomes a good devastating 1 hour. But never mind, the scenery really pay off!
This is my first time I created HDR Panorama too. There’s actually 3 variations made in processing these HDR panoramic. Tell me which one you like. Personally I love the first in the collection.
Hope you enjoy my collection on the tea field this time.

Smokehouse Cameron Highlands (Click for flickr/bigger size) Taken using Canon 400D with Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM at 10mm. Post-processed using Digital Photo Professional and tone-maped using Photomatix 3 Pro.
Yes! You got it right! Smokehouse Cameron Highlands is a place where every photo bug must stop-by for a picture or two. We went there for a quick snap shots before going to get our much anticipated steamboats. Smokehouse is popular among photographers for its colonial English style buildings. See the picture itself and you will know why.
Apart from that, I got harsh treatment from the hotel when I walked in to check out the ambiance of the restaurant. Seconds after I got in, a lady says “Sorry this is for patrons only”. Without much thinking, I just walked off. Needless to waste my time on this.
Even if I do not have the intention to dine in there, the hotel shouldn’t treat its potential customers this way. No way. And hell no I will ever dine or stay in this hotel. This reviews speak itself.
Location map (estimate) is after the jump.
Read MoreIt’s a breathtaking scenery that every visitor to Cameroon Highlands would never miss it. I have complied the panorama I took back in year 2004 and the one I took recently and wish to share with you all. Here you go…

Nothing much have changed after 4 years except that there’s a new recreational/resting hut in the middle of the field, which is actually good for us to chill while enjoying the great scenery.
There’s actually a few more tea plantation fields around Cameron Highlands. I’ll try to get to them on my next trip up there! Happy Holidays on this long weekend peeps!
