In to The Wild | Pahang National Park

This photo I used canon 450D and wide angle lense 20mm. For this photo I'm using small aperture at f/8 to create the sharp image for me aperture at f/8 - f/11 is good enough to create a perfect sharp image. But you need to make sure about the lighting condition.

Be prepare if you wanna go and photograph jungle, hiking, or visit to the place that have the environment always raining and moist, make sure you bring along the silica gel to keep you lovable camera, lens, and others equipment always protected from fungus.

You know what for me this girl very rude and never respect people! She never asked first about my photo then make a statement that my photo is belong to her. She just simply said that photo is from her. She's does not want to apologize to my. She called her self as a photographer? Oh my! Do not said like that if you never respect others photo.

Limablas Restaurant | Chasing The Baba Nyonya Asam Pedas


© 2014 Photographed by Mohd Fakhrul Islam \| Asam Pedas

My mom was born in Johor and I'm always and was raised with Johor food. One of the famous Johor food is Asam Pedas and already know how the taste it. A few days ago I was found this LimaBlas Restaurant through their facebook,ops sorry not me but my fiance, she's the one who always looking a something unique to be explore and she also the unique one for me.emm yeah kinda unique. hehe

My Fiance Iday

Okay back to our story, she was asked me to go to this LimaBlas Restaurant in 15 Jalan Mesui, Off Jalan Nagasari, 50200 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Before I went there I have done a few search about this LimaBlas Restaurant what kind off food they have.

This because I want to avoid if this is non halal restaurant and lastly I've got the good information where this restaurant was serve basic comfort food of BABA/NYONYA cuisine! heritage food from MALAYSIA! and pork free.

They have the special menu and it is a Asam Pedas Baba Nyonya. This is the time I want to try the different type of Asam Pedas beside the Johor one. All this my fiance idea!

We was order a few side dish such as kangkung belacan and fried rice. I was order nasi fried rice and my fiance just plain rice. Okay this is the crucial parts, I was order fried rice because I thought the Asam Pedas only a small plate and only can ate by my fiance, but I'm totally wrong!

Asam Pedas in this Lima Blas Restaurant they actually served for 2 pax can eat or may be 3 pax because that fish was so big than I thought. This Asam Pedas was quite nice and a little bit spicy and I can't stand for spicy food.hehe

My fiance very happy enjoy her meal. The kangkung one the taste just like the ordinary taste and also for the fried rice. For drink I was choose their chendol gula melaka in English may be they called chendol brown sugar. The taste of this chendol was very nice and like at Jongker Walk Malacca.

Finally we have stomach full after eat all the food here.

Below is the photo of the food and the decoration of this Lima Blas Restaurant.hehe
Let the photo tell the story.

All my photo below was edit using this presets!

One City Mall Skypark

Last weekend I was visited to One City Mall in Subang. Here have something unique than others mall, it is a Skypark. At the top of this One City Mall have a park was called Skypark where there have a pieces off glass that you will see inside of the mall when you stand at the glass.

Is it scare right? For me not so scare about height but when I'm arrive and stand at that glass my knee was shaking like I was twelve years old kid. The most scare is when have a little kid running and jump at the glass.

You can feel the vibration of the glass. This is the place where you can bring your family and kids to relax and enjoy with them during weekend.

Below is a few photo that I have took even just a few minute there.

How To Get There | Tinggi Island Marine Park

Last few days ago I have been to the Tinggi Island in Johor. Actually this is my first time visiting this Tinggi Island Marine Park. I have got this opportunity because of documenting about artificial 'tukuns' to conduct the Coral Propagation and to rehabilitate the coral reef at Jabatan Taman Laut Pulau Tinggi & Pulau Sibu.

Here I want to share with you the step how to get there. This is base on my first time experience, I was drove by car from Kuala Lumpur and straightly to Tanjung Leman Jetty it takes a round 7 hour to arrived at Tanjung Leman Jetty.

There have no others choice to get here by flight, you only can drive untill Tanjung Leman Jetty and take a boat ride from the jetty to Tinggi Island Marine Park.

There have a resort for you to stay and the cheapest rate that I know is around RM 155.00. This is base what I was asked from the worker at that resort.

Here is the resort information : TAD Resort

Here you can do an activity such as diving, snorkeling, kayak, beach softball and many thing with your family.

For those who love diving activity don not to worry, because here have a Diving shop center where provide diving equipment rental with valuable price.

I don have much time to capture the environment here because have a lot of work to do, hopefully my photo bellow will help you to imagine the place in Tinggi Island. If you have any question can drop your comment below. hehe

Photography Tips and Trick : Flower in Mini Garden

Hello guys and girl how are you there? I'm fine here,hahaha. Okay, above is my photo where I just spend a few minute my time in front of my house where have a mini garden. You can photograph any thing that you think in simple way.

I just bought canon 50mm f/1.8 just sweet enough to capture close up flower above.hehe after 10 minute that's is the result. No need to go for the far place to get better picture if you can get infront of your house, but if your house don't have a mini garden that is the different story.

So you can try to go outside and try to capture something and put a little bit love to your photographed. Try to find the contrast flower so it will standout your photo with the background. Simple right.

After I shoot I was edit all my picture using Adobe Lightroom VSCOCAM presets -> here just a simple click and that is the result.

HERE SOMETHING ELSE :

I like and love to travel so this mean when we travel we will explore and find new thing and new place. So which is mean many thing that we still don't know and need to learn and explore. Here something else for me have a deep meaning to describe.

when I travel we will put my effort to feel the environment so I will take a photograph with full of soul and passion, even not travel also I will try to get into the environment.

Every photographer will put their effort to describe their story through their photo and that is the story teller.

This is the beginning for me actually before this I already start the photography long time ago almost 5 years. So this time I want to put more harder work to explore new thing in Photography(more to photojournalism)

Black and White Photography Tips : Catch The Light

“Without light, both we and our cameras are blind.” —Annie Griffiths

You Know It When You See It

This is about lighting, how you compose your photo and manage to get the image even in the dark. The photo above is don't have any single of light, but I was used the the trigger and the speedlight to make this photo.

Every photographer should know the "photo" will come out and appear from the light and without light will not produce any "image".

Every photographer can speak but how they speak is only through their language of light.

This is a few tips for those who want to manage to get the right lighing for the best picture. You need to spend time your time in one place and take note of how the changing light affects the mood and tone of what you're seeing. Do a few experiment with light sources in interior spaces, or you can get creative with light painting.

If can observe the way of light might fall on someone's face or your surrounding, cast a shadow across a surface, or play with color in a scene. Show to other how you see the light through your camera and what you see through your eyes.

Hope this will help you a little bit more about lighting,and sorry for long not update my blog because I'm busy doing a lot of work. Thank you and stay tune for other tips.
