The Yawn

A lazy cat on a lazy Sunday evening.

Soft Amber

It was one of those evenings where the colour of the sky simply didn't look the way it usually did on a regular day. What I liked most about this view was the way the sunset painted the soft smooth cloud a lively orange colour.

My only wish was that I had a wider lens to capture this moment.

Tranquility

Kiki is a picture of peace and tranquility as she closes her eyes for a little bit of meditation.

Princess Kiki - Side Profile

Side profile of Princess Kiki taken with my new Sigma 70-300mm set to 1:2 macro mode. Love the cat, love the lens too. :D

Puchong Sunset (2)

Another shot of the sunset at Puchong, Malaysia. If there was anything in this photo I'd like to remove, it would be the trail left by an airplane. It simply looks out of place. Other than that, I thought this picture looked rather good. I could have Photoshop-ed it out, but I'm not the Photoshopping type. :)

Puchong Sunset

Went out for a photoshoot in Puchong, Malaysia with friends and came home with this. I had several other shots but this looked a whole lot nicer than the others.

The Tugu Entrance

This is the entrance to Malaysia's National Monument (Tugu Negara). The original colour shot seemed a bit boring to me so I modified it to a sepia tone and added some vignetting. I wanted to create a slightly oldish look to the photo.

Tugu Negara

This is Malaysia's National Monument (Tugu Negara). It was erected in 1966 to commemorate the heroes and warriors who fought during World War II and the Malayan Emergency of 1948-60. This 15.5 metre sculpture was inspired by an American, Felix de Weldon.

The monument is comprised of seven bronze figures, each representing leadership, suffering, unity, vigilance, strength, courage, and sacrifice respectively.

Canoes - DCM Malaysia winner

This photo was originally shot in December 2005 at Bagan Lalang beach in Malaysia. About one month later, on January 13, 2006 the photo was published here in this very photoblog. In March 2006, I sent it into the Malaysian edition of UK's popular Digital Camera Magazine. It was selected as one of the ten finalists for the month of March. The photo contest ran for another three months, with ten best photos picked from a large submission base in each month. By the end of the contest, there were 40 finalists vying for the grand prize of a Canon EOS 30D.

On 1st August 2006, ten photos were selected from the 40 finalists. Although this photo did not win the grand prize, it did get into the top ten, winning a new Canon Pixma photo printer.

I'm proud of this photo. My little five minutes of fame. :)
