BCF

The is taken at one side of the gateway at Sibu town Square where all the chinese stalls are open here.

Rajang Before the Sunset

The river shown in the pic is the Malaysia's longest river- The Rajang River. With total length of approximately 760km, it originated from the Iran Mountain on this Borneo Island and flow to the South China Sea. The are few sub-rivers or what we called the tibutaries which are more popular like Katibas River, Kanowit River, Bankgit River and so on...And the Katibas River is located at my hometown. Well, just to let you know that the place where i was born was SIBU, but I grew up at SONG, which is another place where it can only be reached by taking an on water express. Sibu is a much more developed place compared to SONG which used to be called as bazaar. In case you still dont know where is Sibu, it is the place where currently organising the BCF, Borneo Cultural Festival which is the biggest event of the year. And this year even biggest with the Prime Minister here during the opening ceremony. Gonna visit the BCF tomorrow night for the ending and perhap snap more photo...

Well, Im too far away from the Rajang River. But, there's nothing much about the river also. I can have more stories bout it when go years backward when the water was still clear and we all kids man adult old ppl can have so much activities with it... river as our swimming pool for example... But now, it's pretty much polluted. It's like you can bring your own cup and enjoy a Teh Tarik Ais, perhap Milo Ais will do too... lol... The only unpolluted one is at the ulu ulu place, where you have to climb over the mountain, yet another mountain and mountain, then you can find cristal clear water...

Im trying a one pic per day task!!! this is the second day

YOU're not alone

hope y'all like the pic as well as the caption in the pic...

The last stop...

yea, this is the last stop for my wish list...

nothing but the camera gears and accessories can be this last wish list!!

Target Number 1: 50mm f/1.8 len

the picture above already showed what the len can do, that's the bokeh effect... well, bokeh is the blur affect behind the subject that you shoot whereas the subject is sharp in focus... another example is shown below...

this lens is a must (unless you choose to get 85mm f/1.8) and always be the second lens that every dslr photographer will get after starting their photography journey...

price around RM300, can be cheaper depends on where u get it.
just for more information, there are 50mm f/1.4 and f/1.2 available too for pro-er photographer and those who can afford the price. f/1.4 is more than RM1K, no idea how much is f/1.2


Target Number 2: Canon 430exII speedlite

well, external flash is another must (though build in flash is available) for a photograper besides other 'must' thing like tripod, 50mm, camera bag... blar blar blar...


RM 1100 from Canon shop

that's all for my wish list... a conclusion to be made here... i personally think i'll go for the 50mm f/1.8 first coz it's cheaper.... next i'll get myself the flash!!!! I WILL!!! but not now... for the HTC phone i think, i think it's just a short term favourite plus it never fully satisfied me with its feature and function... i will stay with my SE w810i for now until i think it's really time for a new mobile phone...

Sibu Borneo Cultural Festival to be next!!!
