[Portrait] Ping

This portraiture session was done during Chinese New Year, the model is my cousin who tried several outfits from dress, to cheongsam.
I used a flash placed off camera and with diffuser, still the lighting might seem a bit harsh in some of the photos. With an umbrella this could be better controlled, after all I am still improving myself in this kind of strobist style shooting.

Krabi, Thailand

My family took a trip to Krabi during CNY. Located at the west coast of southern Thailand and close to Phuket island, Krabi is famous for the beautiful islands,  beaches and clear waters. Of course, look inland and there are pristine forests, caves, waterfalls, etc. Whether land or sea, there will be something that suits everyone to enjoy the relaxing and fun environment.

I did not have enough time on the islands for photo taking as the boat only allowed us half an hour sight seeing on the four islands I visited. Perhaps next time I’ll come again and stay longer for better scenes.

Enjoy. 


The wooden boat is the main transport to the islands in the area.


Or one can opt for speed boat, for more cost.


The boat man – without Rambo style bow and explosive arrows.

Yes, tsunami could strike again.




































Clear sky and starry night, quite unlike the polluted sky in Malaysia…










Cheap “happiness” may ruin your whole life…


Rotee on sale – similar with roti canai variation, only more delicious.
