FERRARI'S KIMI RAIKKONEN @ SEPANG 2009


With a NIKON D70S, I was able to freeze KIMI Raikkonen and his car passing everyone in a split second. After 33 laps the race unfortunately had to be stopped for safety reasons due to heavy rain during this 2009 Formula One Malaysian Grand Prix. I am sure KIMI Raikonen can get back his rhythm soon. He has way more experience than so many other drivers and after all he is a Formula One Champion!

GOLDEN DRAGONFLY - UP CLOSE AND PERSONAL


After 1 and a half months trying to get a picture of this Awesome dragonfly's face.. today was the day I got this close up shot I wanted. Out of 30 frames.. This was the only one Wicked picture! I can honestly say that this is one of the best pictures I've taken Ever! I must say you must be very patient in order to get something like this!

REFLECTION OF PETRONAS TWIN TOWERS UPON SUNRISE

I happen to be awake very early in the morning & noticed the weather was pretty good so I had an opportunity to take a mirror image of KLCC. So I went down to the pool side in my pajamas to take a picture. I had to wait for the right moment because there was some breeze & the pool water had ripples. Quite challenging this one. No one will be able to take this picture again probably by the end of 2009 or 2010 because there's gonna be a new Condominium coming up right where KLCC is in the picture so this picture is much more valuable than you might think!

ARCHITECTURES OF MADRID & SEVILLA - SPAIN

I can't remember the name of this Building at the moment but this place was quite far out of Madrid City itself. I found this corridor facinating so decided to snap a picture. Had to wait until there was no one in the way. The repeating patterns is what caught my attention. With lots of natural light was I able to capture this image.

The beautiful Boutique Hotels in Sevilla, Spain are located in the middle of the city. It may look dark but tones of tourist walk through these narrow alleys to get to pubs, restaurant's, Flamenco Dance theaters & their accommodations. Its like a maze walking through these alleys I tell ya. These alleys are sometimes so narrow that when a car comes through.. anyone in the way will have to walk faster to find the nearest curb to stand on until the car passes through =)

ORCHID FARM @ LAKE GARDENS KUALA LUMPUR

I was waiting to take a picture of this Water Lily and all of a sudden this bee came flying around it and i knew it was about to land on the flower. I quickly got my camera ready and true enough it landed and I snapped 3 frames at one go. Perfect moment this was for me. There was a lot of sunlight for me to take this picture!

Reflection of an Orchid flower. Perfect evening. Just after an afternoon of heavy rain, I was visiting my grand untie & knowing that she has lotsa Orchids & other flowers in her garden I quickly took out my G10. After looking carefully for about almost 20 minutes I found this drops of rain water with the Orchid's reflection on it. Oh.. If u look even closer, you can actually see my reflection as well.. What a great moment!

Producing the Blur foreground effect, you see the hundreds of Beautiful clear White Orchids in the background fill the garden.

DUSK ON PHRA NANG BEACH, KRABI, THAILAND

Perfect Ocean View at Dusk. After a full day of Rock Climbing & Bouldering at Phra Nang Beach, we were walking towards the end of this beach to catch the last Long Tail boat back to Tonsai Beach where we are staying. But I didn't lose this opportunity to take this beautiful color of the sky with the ocean & light waves. This was a sight you could not have missed!

1st EVER RECORDED IMAGE OF THIS RARE WHITE BABY BOXFISH IN THE WORLD


I personally emailed the FAMOUS LEGENDARY Marine Biologist / Author NEVILLE COLEMAN - Photo Journalist to ask about this particular species of boxfish because I knew it was different. And he actually replied my email saying my image is the first to be recorded of this species at such a small stage.. I mean WOW!!! Coming from the Legendary Neville Coleman himself!!! It is an email I'll treasure most :D

Neville Coleman told me in his reply that this RARE WHITE Boxfish is younger than a Juvenile Yellow Boxfish and said perhaps Yellow Boxfishes are probably White when they are born.. Myself and my gf were so lucky! A moment I'll alwiz remember! Credit to ATSY of cause because she saw this cute rare White Boxfish & when we got back she asked me to email NEVILLE COLEMAN Immediately!!! OMG.. Still can't believe it!!! WooHoo!!!

NUDIBRANCH MATING - JORUNNA FUNEBRIS


I love taking Macro pictures underwater as well as on land.
I managed to spot these two beautiful Nudi's mating and quickly
use my metal banger to call my buddies as well as our dive
master. I feel so good to get this clear & sharp picture of these
Nudi's because the last time I tried taking one, the lighting wasn't
good enuff.

My Dive Buddies @ Holy Sand Dive Site


To dive at Holy Sand dive site early in the morning was
a great idea because visibility was perfect! We were so surprised!
Water was so blue but a lil chilly. It was a perfect time to take pictures
of my buddies coz I could see them so clearly. The last time I dived
at this site, it was like 1 and a half meter vis. So this was great!
This is my other dive buddy ATSY. She's alwiz with me and I'm
happy because she always watches out for me =P
