Spiritual Retreat Schedule at Maranatha Retreat House

Dear Friends,

Maranatha Retreat House will be organising the following retreat for the rest of the year 2013.

This image was taken using Olympus UTough 8010 during my first Spiritual Retreat  at Maranatha Retreat House back in year 2010. During those days, my photography knowledge was zero and my friends used to say, "my photos suck! and they can take better one." Now my photos are still not to 'my standard of good photos' but I will shoot thousands more to get my vision materialize on the photos I have taken and touch the viewer attention as I want it to be.

First Shutter Therapy with a Flickr's friend

I always wonder how is it to do shutter therapy as Robin Wong called this exercise with a partner as I always walked the street to shoot as a Lone Ranger and I shoot at will. Actually I am very excited to walk the street and shoot with others as sometime I can lost in my own world when the camera is in my hand. I can be very focus and passionate in what I am doing until I lost the sense of the real world even the pain that I endured. That's the magic of camera which can transform me into someone else completely.

All images taken with Nikon D7000 with lens AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G
All images captured in RAW format and convert to JPEG format using in-camera preset setting.

Last Saturday, I walked the street with my talented Flickr's friend by the name of Foxsama aka Ivan Tan.  Actually we never meet before and I do not know how he looks like. In this suspense time, I started my shooting alone.

(I captured this image using a direct attack method where I run from the other side of the road. Then squat in front of his on-coming route, compose, frame and shoot. Give a thumb up and walk away. Later I was informed by Ivan that he is a bit nasty some time.)

Hopefully I will capture him on my camera in the process.

Back to the Street

It's been awhile I have been missing from my normal street shooting but I did shoot at the morning wet market near my office.

Whenever I am going down to Kuala Lumpur for my shutter therapy as Robin Wong called this exercise of taking photos of characters in the street, I will always go to see my friend Hurdy and this this time he is around after a long absent.

Early Walk

If you are passionate of what you are doing either photography or working to earn a living, you can always find a way to make it a reality. In my case is photography and I can shoot anywhere and any time as I carry my camera long all the time. The choice is yours.
Since I have limited weekend to do my shutter therapy as Robin Wong called it, now I tend to enjoy my early morning walk either at Section 17 Sentosa's Wet Market or at Jalan Universiti's Thursday Morning Market. Before the morning walk, normally we will be having our breakfast at the nearby coffee shop.
Section 17 Sentosa's wet market open everyday which mean I can shoot every morning. Wow! Why I never see this opportunity before.

Here are some of my shots at Section 17 Sentosa, Petaling Jaya.

This is one of my best photograph which I captured at Section 17 Sentosa and appeared in Flickr's Explore which got 4K plus viewers in 24 hours time.
