Merdeka 118 is the second tallest building in the world at the moment, and it is right in the middle of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was quite surreal seeing Yelena jumping off from the top of that building in the opening sequence of the latest Marvel superhero movie, Thunderbolts. Though the scenes in Malaysia were brief, there was another one involving the explosion of the old HSBC building at Masjid Jamek area, I was giggling silly in the cinema recognizing all

I love doing Live Streams. It was one of my latest projects that I got obsessed with, and I have been live streaming for more than a year consistently now. One of the feedback that I have received about my Live Streams - from people who watched it after the stream has ended - they are too long. They questioned if a topic of discussion needed 2 hours or more, and they even said these can be done in 5 minutes.

Special thanks to OM System Malaysia, I managed to get a loan of the new OM System 100-400mm F5-6.3 Mark II for testing. I brought it along with my OM System OM-1 camera to the Kuala Lumpur Bird Park and did some bird shooting.

I have mentioned several times before here in this blog as well as on my YouTube channel why I love the E-M1 original, and I think it is still a fantastic camera even for today, after 12 years since its launch in 2013. The E-M1 was a legendary camera that paved the way to mirrorless camera revolution, and

Two days ago, I attended the Sigma BF launch event in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia as a guest. I wanted to see the much hyped new camera in person, Sigma being bold and daring in creating something radically different from what the other big boys in the market were doing. The event was held inside a restaurant, housing about 40 guests. Since I was just a guest I did not go overzealous with my shutter clicking, and only captured a few moments

I appreciate both color photography as well as black and white. I do admit I do more color photography - it is not fair to compare really, as the bulk of my photography work I shoot for clients, and my jobs demand everything in color. Or at least I have not found a client that specifically requests anything in black and white delivery.
