About a week ago I had the chance of shooting for a major MMA event --- the ONE Fighting Championship - Warrior Spirit held at Stadium Putra Bukit Jalil. I felt privileged to have been given access to a photography area in the arena quite close to the ring which gave me better photographic opportunities...
Last night was Merdeka Eve for us Malaysians. Every year at midnight of 31st August, Malaysians celebrate the nation's Independence Day with family and friends, traditionally at locations of interest such as Merdeka Square and Putrajaya. The Putrajaya International Fireworks Competition 2013 kicked off...
With the revival of my SB-600 speedlight comes my return to taking photos of events, the first of which was my cousin's solemnization ceremony at her home in Petaling Jaya. The solemnization ceremony was held in her house with a relatively low white ceiling, so it was a really good environment for...
Another one of my many explorations in photography is light painting. It requires a camera that is able to capture long exposures --- shutter speeds that are slow enough that the exposure is more than a second up to a few hours, maybe even more. There are many different types of light painting photos ---...
For nearly six months I have been going on without a proper working speedlight as mine was burnt out. Thankfully the speedlight has been fixed and two days ago I went to pick it up at the Nikon service centre, and my SB-600 came back working like new again. Which means I can start exploring other types of...

Yellow dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) Photo taken at Cameron Highlands, Pahang back when I first started taking photos using a DSLR. I think it is obvious how inexperienced I was back then. The focus in this photo is totally off. Click here for more Mellow Yellow Mondays.

A moment ago I discovered some photos of buildings in Putrajaya of which I used exposure bracketing in order to create HDR (high dynamic range) images out of them. Since I did not seem to have done anything with the photos, I might have forgotten or neglected to process them into HDR and as a result they...
May they live happily for the rest of their lives...
Photo of a hot air balloon bearing the name Zeppelin and the brand Caterpillar (CAT). Taken during the Putrajaya International Hot Air Ballon Festival 2009. I would really love to get a ride in one of these hot air balloons someday. I have at least two reasons for wanting this: one would be so that it...

Captured this during a bicycle trip in the Botanical Gardens in Shah Alam, Selangor. I really miss the days when I did a lot of closeup shots, hopefully this won't be the last of them this year. -ihsankhairir-
The Irish Bear is also quite straightforward - it is designed to resemble a leprechaun smoking a pipe. The Irish Bear is all clad in green, the iconic color of Ireland and St. Patrick. The artist that worked on the bear was Shaun Patrick Dolan (what a super Irish name). I did not manage to find out more...
It seems like the birthday wishlist that I posted earlier comprise mostly of photography stuff, and most of them are either very expensive or hard to find if you don't know where to look for them. So I decided to expand my wishlist to include ordinary everyday stuff that people might be able to look for in...
The American Bear is quite straightforward - the bear was painted and designed to look like the Statue of Liberty. The artist that worked on the American bear was Bill C. Ray, an Alaskan painter who is based in his own studio in Berlin, Germany. It's quite easy to associate the bear with the Statue of...
January is almost leaving us and February looms. The upcoming Valentine's Day starts to pick people's pockets as couples set aside some finances for surprising and delighting their beloved significant others. For the singles or foreveralones, Singles Awareness Day (SAD) will be a chance for them to get...
Last December I took the opportunity of the month-long break I had from work to do some bit of photography. A Sri KDU student, Zoey informed me that "the buddy bears are at the Pavilion" so I headed over there in the heart of Kuala Lumpur to see what sort of thing the buddy bears are. So I drove my car and...
