Yesterday was a heck of day of photo shooting... due to the few days of continuous rain and dark i stayed in and do most of the reading... Been watching out on other photographer's blog and enjoying other shutter bugs' artwork... I do think photographers are artist... Just somewhat easier if compared relatively with the painters or sculptors...I mean take an artist, who needs time for inspiration, skills and time to draw and paint the artwork... for shutter bugs.. it's less taxing... though in a way, it's kinda hard and takes time and skills to produce a masterpiece...
Well, anyway... yesterday was a bright shining day with nice clear sky.. i had the opportunity to capture some nice photos (i think there are still room for improvement)... Here you go... (proudly presented for you from the shore of Miri City)
Thats the color i was looking for... the golden crisp... BUT... not yet the best... i stil think the angle and perspective can be improved... What u think?
Me Dad and me... as always...
I like the sky colors and the wood being lit...
The skies...
The gradual changes in the sky color...
May look like the same couple.. but.. actually different...
The bride left her shoes on shore while she went to the waters to shoot... someone indicate this picture looks like someone wanted a suicide by submerging the waters.. (kekeke... )
The couples posing while the photographer shoot them...
Hey guess what? i managed to meet 2 (TWO) couples who were doing their outdoor photoshoot as well.. AND they are Canon-nites! Weeee~
That was it... the sun went down the horizon...
And as if not enough.. after dinner... i went to Miri's Chinese New Year Market at High Street... The market is our local attraction every chinese New Year a collaboration between Miri Chinese Chamber of Commerce and Industry with The Miri City Council.. i must credit the City council for their effort in bringing this market in as an annual event... it really makes this city alive! It really indicate the spirit of Chinese New Year...
Not to forget the continuous performances on the main stage area to keep the public entertained... I dunno about other cities in Miri.. this market really calls in for a Big attraction for both locals and tourists!!!
Here are some photos... enjoy them...
Some new floats being placed at the entrance... woo...
It's 4 MORE days to Chinese New Year... and it's already so many people... i can't imagine the last day for the market!!!
This cute boyadmiring the chinese new year decoratives...
A MUST... the chinese symbol for gold and prosperity... "kam"
According to the owner, this is a new breed of orchid... really nice! At a first glance, it looks fake..cause it's so perfect!!! BUT at a closer look! My gosh... they are real... they smell good!
For western Culture, these are carved and displayed during Halloween, but for the chinese, this is 'Ong' means Gold and lucky!

Hey Garry, your photos are really impressive, especially the beach ones - keep it up!
Thanks FM Luder! With your encouragements it sure charges me up! hehehe... Stay tune! more upcoming.... I'll be going to the beach somemore while i can before i head back to KL... i think i have some more adjustments to do to improve the shots...
Hi Garry, your composition is definitely good and some very nice candid shots. Perhaps you would like to try out HDR (High Dynamic Range) for some of your shots...esp those at the beach. To bring out more colour of the sunset, you need to use "Manual" mode. Then you also need to under expose and try out the various F stop with a low ISO.
Thanks Uncle William... Sure will try it out... i saw many HDR pics... but haven't reli try it out yet... Maybe one day we can go photo shoot outing... kekeke... Thanks for your comment... it's really constructive... :P
