The journey of a Malaysia Wedding Photographer:

Treasures of the Rainforests Photography Conference and Challenge

This is my first time joining a workshop held outside of KL and most of all, into the rain-forest! It is totally a new world out there for me and I feel the “Amateur” inside me again with desire and hunger to shoot for more, learn from others!! After 3 solid days of presentation, workshop, conference and outing challenge, I won the 1st place for the 1st Treasure of The Rain Forest Photography Challenge and Conference thanks to all judges. It was a great experience for sharing, learning thru out the 4 days events. Came to know a lot of new passionate photographers, masters like Patrick Low, Alvin Leong, Zung, Jim Liaw, Jimin Lai, Jason Victor, Yusuf Hashim, Saiful Nang are more than willing to share out their knowledge and years of experience..which I truly appreciate it…

Below are some of my own favourate shoots of the event and of course the winner shoot:

1st place in year 2009 Treasures of the Rainforests Photography Conference and Challenge

My favourate shoot, taken on day two, on the way to Hilton Batang Ai Resort on the ferry with 70-200mm (135mm) f2.8

My another favourate shoot in small town called Serian, half way to Hilton Batang Ai, he was a star of the day with so many photographers aiming at him..

My 3rd choice.. love the relationship btwn 3 of them. They were so shy in front of us...I love the touch of the brother

This shoot taken during our lunch time at waterfall while the ant was trying to climb up to the boat at the river side

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..

Alvin Leong and his group

Clement with his stylish look lol

Jim sharing with all participants in his group on basic lighting knowledge

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…

Jim & Ning outside the coffee shop

told you, the journey is tiring hahahaah

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

Zung

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

Now you know what I mean, this is only showing quarter of the staircases

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…

Look at all the gears!

Sunset is only few mins and the best time is few sec, shoot!

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!!!

Remember the workshop that I mention about : Workshop

The Treasure of The RainForest Photography Challenge and Conference

Last Friday, our journey to Kuching attending the workshop kicked start with 0800hrs flight from LCCT to Kuching…..One funny thing was, I was all the while sitting beside Clement and Ning during the flight and even join Clement with his Nitendo’s game not knowing he is Jim’s son…LOL.. 5 mins before we arrived Kuching, I told Clement that I am a photographer and he said, my dad too.. then I look at him and look at Ning… only I realise Clement has both Jim and Ning’s features.. hahahahah OMG.. my bad my bad.. I still remember Clement ask if I am full time photographer, when I answer no.. he answer– too bad. hahahahahah

After touch down, Alvin came to airport and fetch us direct back to Hilton Kuching. It was a relaxing afternoon and Ling, my client and friend now came over to fetch me for some nice tea break with bee hoon belacan and get myself some bird nest and rice wine.

Here we go some images during Hilton Kuching Cafe
