43 A Photography Workshop I

I’m attending a 3 days  3 nights workshop in Cameron Highland beginning 29^th October to 1^st November 2009. This photography workshop will be handling by Malaysian Photographer Mr. Zainal Abdul Halim. He’s a staff Photojournalist at Reuters.

The workshop will be divided into two, that is beginner and advance. I will best fitted into beginner stage; due to lack of experience in photojournalism that is.

We will be situated at MNS-BOH Nature Study Centre in the BOH tea plantation itself. Subjects to shoot in Cameron are consists of:

1. Landscape – nice landscape, places of interest, architecture.
2. BOH Tea Plantation – the making of BOH tea, workers.
3. Streets of Cameron – people of Cameron.
4. Orang Asli – need to go deep into forest.
5. Hill farming at Cameron – farmers at work.

This is going to be a third visit to Cameron in 10 years. But this time it’s going to be purely academic. I want to focus and learn as much as I can from this trip because it is not a cheap Photojournalism course. Probably the biggest investment for photography lesson, ever and I wish to apply it whenever I’m holding a camera.

InsyaAllah, by completing this workshop I’ll become much better person in many ways. Not only in photography, but in real life where I as a person have only one purpose, that is to submit to Him the Almighty.

44 A Protection is Essential

AppleCare Protection Plan

Yesterday I bought another Apple product called AppleCare Protection Plan. I bought it from Sapura Digitalifestyle in MMU Cyberjaya. Its purpose is to give an extended 2-year warranty, a given 1-year and makes it 3-year. Simple and understandable right… It covers a technical support as well as hardware replacement in case of faulty hardware.

42 An Outback

Lowepro Outback series is the replacement model for Lowepro Off Trail. It was launched in early July 2009. Scouting around and I found the price for a new Outback 200 is RM280 at Mitmivec. There’s one shop in Low Yat Plaza yesterday offering RM450, almost double the price from what I being offered earlier. Certainly in comparison price in Singapore is way cheaper than KL…

Lowepro Outback 200

Currently this is my fourth Lowepros and this one solely for in-the-action type of bag. Basically it is a beltpack, can carry up to 70-200mm 2.8 (reverse hood) with body attached. Usually I carried 2 bodies, extra batteries and 2 speedlites along. And this bag fits it all harmonously.

Check out youtube to have a better overall look. There are 100, 200 and 300 AW models along its lineup with the price of RM220, RM290 and RM480 respectively.
