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.
