A journey of Malaysia Wedding Photographer :

Continue from Day Three of TREASURES OF THE RAINFORESTS PHOTOGRAPHY CONFERENCE:

Day four started from 12am where I was in my hotel room uploading, selecting and post processing photos for the final photo competition. After I completed the photos selection, I was too tired and join in some casual chitchat at the pool side with some speakers till 3.30am

After morning breakfast and last speaker’s presentation, we are all busy on photo competition submission and fun group photo session

Due to my flight schedule, (and god blessed since the following bus only manage to reach Kuching at midnight!), I have to travel back to Kuching immediately after the photo competition results. We manage to reach airport at 7pm and met Jimin Lai who are still there waiting for his flight! I change my flight schedule to an hour earlier without any charges.. Thanks to AirAsia and reach home just 5mins before midnight.

This is one great experience I had and my first time shooting this type of photography. Really enjoy so much with new friends, meeting passionate photographers and of course all speakers who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences without any reservation.

Once again, thanks for all your effort!!!

Journey of a Malaysia Wedding Photographer:

My 2nd Day journey for The workshop The Treasure of The RainForest Photography Challenge and Conference , continue from day one

After we had our breakfast at Hilton Kuching and pack our lunch box around 8am, we are now heading to Batang Ai with 2 stops in between the long 4.5 hours journey….

Our first stop is Serian, kinda different from what I imagine as it looks like normal small town in West Malaysia to me….all the participants are split into several groups with lead photographers : Alvin Leong, Patrick Low, Zung, Yusuf Hashim, Jimin Lai, Jim Liaw & Jason Victor and I am under Jim’s group. Jim kick start with explaining basic of lighting and asking all participants to capture object with side light for more 3D effect. All of us were having fun time capturing images of wet market.. people are friendly and never stop us from shooting. We spend around an hour at the wet market and continue our Journey to the next stop..

Next Stop: Lachau

yeah, you are right, Lachau, a small town with old coffee shop lot. Zung was so happy and telling us that he like these type of old coffee shop.. bring back memories to him…

Finally,with 4 hours plus journey, we reach at the Dam, I was amazed by the bus driver reverse driving skill (I am talking about reversing downhill with more than 500m oooh )…although some of us start screaming as the bus approaching the end of the jetty.. hahahah

I was told that Batang Ai Dam is as big as Singapore Island, 30mins ride from Jetty, we finally arrived at Hilton Batang Ai Resort. Patrick and I almost fainted when looking up the staircases from the jetty to the lobby…I dont think I can make it with all my bags!! when I started climbing up the stairs, our saver arrive!!! the hotel helper were there and so kind to help Patrick and I carried our luggage all the way up to lobby… hurray!!! hahahaha

Within a short break, my boss, Patrick already pull out his laptop and review on his presentation for the following day workshop while some of us head for the jungle walk session and sunset session…

After shower, we head for the pool side for the official opening & ceremony of The Treasure of The RainForest Photography Challenge and Conference . I only manage to zzz around 1am after the workshop in the function room ended late night..

Following day: Long House and Waterfall visit!!!
