Sun Moon Lake 日月潭 @ Taiwan


Jesse & the Sun Moon Lake

This is one of my favorite place in Taiwan, Sun Moon Lake 日月潭. We were taking the bus from the Nantou 南投 bus station, i think the trip take us abt 45mins to reach the location. The lake was very huge, seems like Tasik Kenyir so natural & beautiful. I was hopping can spend more time to take more nice photos, haha~



The Port


The Street


Our Lunch, simple & little :)


We did done a booking from the hotel for the boat ride, it will bring us to another 2 more port & the Lalu Island. The Lalu island is the only island stands inside the Sun Moon Lake alone, is a very small piece of land. I heard the Mr Tourguide told us about the island “fairy tale” & also after an earthquake strikes on 921, the island itself sunk a partial of land. But still many visitors said this is a “MUST” visit place, small piece of land still so crowded.

The Lalu Island

To think back why am i choosed this place to visit, is because there are many nice scenery photos preview on the website & MATTA Fair. I’m so happy to when almost reaching the place, closer & closer to the lake, i see… SHOOT~ how come so hazzy ler?! OMG~

During check-in the hostel, i fliped their guestbook and some photo albums related to the lake. I asked the boss the lake is so beautiful in sunrise & dawn too, weather is so good somemore, how come today so “blur”? Then the boss said, if you wish/thinking of the lake everyday got nice weather & not so “blur”, it is WRONG! Most of the time is covered with mist, so just rely on your sense to take nice photo, you are a photographer right? (i was $@#% in my mind jor)

Ok lar, let me show some of my shoots on the next day morning sessions, it is really nice cool morning, walk out on 5:30am, so early~

I’m done here with some shortcut post of the Sun Moon Lake, it is a very nice & silent place for photography, there are many more places to go but need to buy more time to stay here longer. I’m looking forward to come back this place in another day, holiday is not bad at all, cheers :)

Huge Light Tubes Petronas Twin Tower @ Kuala Lumpur City Centre(KLCC)

It was a very bored night standing alone in front of the two “light tube”, haha~ got some nice pictures + funny picture as well.


Petronas Twin Tower

Here is some facts about the Petronas Twin Tower from Wikipedia:

The Petronas Twin Towers were the tallest buildings in the world until Taipei 101 was completed in 2004, as measured to the top of their structural components (spires, but not antennas). Spires are considered integral parts of the architectural design of buildings, to which changes would substantially change the appearance and design of the building, whereas antennas may be added or removed without such consequences. The Petronas Twin Towers remain the tallest twin buildings in the world.

The Willis Tower and the World Trade Center towers were each constructed with 110 occupied floors – 22 more than the Petronas Twin Towers’ 88 floors. The Willis Tower and the World Trade Center’s roofs and highest occupied floors substantially exceeded the height of the roof and highest floors of the Petronas Twin Towers. The Willis Tower’s tallest antenna is 75 m (246 ft) taller than the Petronas Twin Towers’ spires. However, in accordance to CTBUH regulations and guidelines, the antennas of the Willis Tower were not counted as part of its architectural features. The spires on the Petronas Towers are included in the height since they are not antenna masts. Therefore, the Petronas Twin Towers exceed the official height of the Willis Tower by 10 m, but the Willis Tower has more floors and much higher square footage.

Olympus PEN EP-2 & The Pen Gathering @ Royal Selangor, K.Lumpur

Firstly, thanks for Olympus Malaysia given us a chance to meet out their latest products, another new PEN model : EP-2. The event started on 11am til 3pm at Royal Selangor Visitor Centre, to be the first hands on the new EP-2! Plus a lunch meal provided as well, got Haagen Daaz Ice Cream :P Yummy~



Olympus PEN EP-2

Few months ago while the Olympus launched their 1st unit of Micro Four-Third camera, named EP-1. It was a very Big Bang through the photography market & people says it is a MUST to see what is so special about this newly technology, plus tiny camera. I was also become one of them with so many curios question in my mind, can’t wait to get hold on it & test it. Well, i’d done the testing at Sungai Wang Plaza, but only 1 fact i’m considering, how long will the battery long last? Haha… I’d used Lumix FZ-50 before, i love this camera because the live liew was great & also the view finder can do the job as live view mode does!

I might need to skip the talk introduction of the camera by the Olympus Malaysia officer, is just an comparison & new techngology of the camera provided. I believe you will understand by reading the specs below, else you are a PEN user. There are about 50ppl attending the gathering, this is my first time to be here, i’m alone too. But get to met some new friends & others 4/3 users :)

After the lunch, we had a sort of “lucky draw” to see who is gonna get a loan of PEN EP-1 & EP-2. EP-1 has about 20something units available, but the EP-2 got 6 units ONLY. Sad to heard the news, so we fill up our personal details on the small piece of paper, then put into a box. WHO KNOWS~ I GOT THE VERY LAST UNIT of EP-2!!! So lucky i’m~ quickly go to the counter & grab myself the EP-2. Ta Dah~~~



My EP-2 only valid for the day nia

Now, the new Olympus PEN EP-2 had a optional view finder (VF-2). Compared to the previous view finder VF-1, this is more advanced than it, you may now using the VF-2 as your second live view point. I believe with this new part can save more battery power rather than using the 3.0″ Hyper Crystal LCD. The VF-2 also comes with a 1.44 million dots, can get a fine sharp images seeing through the VF-2.

A photography talk by David Chua, to share his experience with PEN. Interesting story of his photography opinion & history, especially when he said the Professional need to be alert! Haha… why ler? I remember the 1st phrase of word during his presentation is I DO NOT GET PAID. For more details about him, please have a look on his blog link as above mentioned his name.



Everyone is setting up their own cameras


Auntie oso can’t escape from the lens!LOL


Ok, let’s get to real test shot session i’d made. Most of the picture taken were under the low light condition, so i will try to bust up the ISO till 3200 of some pictures. All the way, i only attached with the 17m f2.8 Pencake lens only. Thus, i didn’t send to Kedai Gambar because i try out some cool Pop Art effects provided by the EP-2 :P

1)
ISO 640, f2.8, 1/30s, PIN HOLE

2)
ISO 640, f2.8, 1/80s, POP ART

3)
ISO640, f2.8, 1/25s, PALE & LIGHT COLOUR

4)
ISO640, f5.0, 1/250s, GRAINY FLIM

5)
ISO3200, f4.0, 1/125s, AWB

6)
ISO3200, f4.5, 1/200s, PIN HOLE

7)
ISO3200, f2.8, 1/60s, CROSS PROCESS

8)
ISO3200, f2.8, 1/25s, AWB

9)
ISO3200, f3.2, 1/80s, DIORAMA

10)
ISO3200, f2.8, 1/50s, DIORAMA

11)
ISO3200, f2.8, 1/60s, AWB


Compared to the EP-1, there is two new POP ART Filter added DIORAMA & CROSS PROCESS. I like using this two effects & found out to be something diffrent. I can say this will becoming more like LOMOGRAPHY, can?


Olympus PEN EP-1
