In memories, Pantai Sabak..

Pantai Sabak is a once famous fishing village in Malaysia’s tourism map. It is located 13 kilometres from Kota Bharu, the state’s capital of Kelantan. Among other attraction to the village is the fact that it was a historical battleground between the Japanese and British forces during the World War 2.

After series of serious coastal erosion which happens every year during the monsoon season which I remember claiming over 50 metres of the seashore at it’s worst, the government decided to place wave breakers to protect the village.

The following shots were from my collection circa 2003-2005, where my family actually lives a bit less than 50 metres from the shore now..

Photography, a new beginning…

Written on January 22nd, 2009 by shakir
Categories: Photoblog

I’ll be posting more of my photo collection in this blog, starting with the old ones; the time when my gear was point-and-shoot cameras and photography to me really was to point, and shoot..

 

As a start, the following was taken at Sungai Gabai waterfall, Hulu Langat. Selangor, circa 2003

New toy on the block – Nikon D90

Written on January 5th, 2009 by shakir
Categories: Nerd Public Journal?

In a not so recent past, I’ve got myself a Nikon D90. It’s my first dSLR and as of now I’m very pleased with what it can do. The only problem now is that I’m probably still not good at making it do what it do best, taking great photos.

 

For that I’ve also got myself a Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8, a great lens from Nikon. I hope this will bring me a step closer to taking great shots.

 

Gadgets aside, I also tried to understand the bits of what the tutorials at Cambridgeincolour was trying to tell, and the following is the first few shots that I’ve had with the camera:

 

 

* Nikon D90 and Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8 photos are taken from Nikon USA website

** Other than resizing, my "sample" photos are un-doctored in any way.
