I'm gonna post just the photos I took from my first morning in KL which I did a bit of sightseeing, going around to KL Tower and the Petronas Twin Towers. Lovely people, lovely sights, lovely nightlife. In short, I had an awesome time shooting and exploring that city, which I can safely say, that never sleeps.
If you people know the reason I went there, you know how to get to my Flickr and check out the stuff I took. Definitely not gonna post it here.

This won me first prize for the local youth competition! And I'll be going to Singapore to the Asean + 3 Youth Festival representing Brunei with this photo! Awesome! Theme of the shoot for that day was Global Warming.
Caption: A monitor lizard inspects an intruder to his habitat.Description: The use of water bottles has exploded in recent years due to the convenience of having bottled water at the ready for daily use. Numerous companies in Brunei have wholeheartedly embraced this growth market and introduce their own brands of bottled water. The bottles are actually recyclable, but either due to public indifference, or ignorance, the water bottles are unceremoniously discarded. If it doesn?t pose a direct threat to wildlife, an indirect effect of that would be global warming due to the increasing use of hydrocarbons to produce the PET bottles; it has been noted that recycling plastic material amounts to a saving of more than 50% than producing the bottles from their source materials.
Top Shutterbugs Awarded In Photography Competition
By Adriana HAC
Bandar Seri Begawan - A prize presentation ceremony for winners of the recent photography competition which carried the theme 'Global Warming' was held yesterday at the Youth Centre in the capital.
The competition was organised by the Youth and Sports Department in cooperation with Brunei Darussalam Photographic Society.
Present as the guest of honour was Haji Mohd Zali bin Haji Arshad, the Assistant Head of Youth and Sports Officer.
The ceremony began with the recital of Surah alFatihah led by Ustaz Suprapto bin Komari followed by a brief speech from the Head Judge of the Brunei Darussalam Photographic Society, Haji Mohd Yusof bin bin Haji Mohd Yassin.
The top five winners were announced during the ceremony followed by the handing over of certificates of appreciation to all participants.
Mohd Khairul Nizam bin Haji Abd Rahman was adjudged as the winner while Mohammad Taufiq bin Yakub came second. In third place was Mohamad Mahadzir Iskandar bin Zakaria followed by Dyg Hazimah binti Abd Hamid and Haji Abdul Azim @ Haj Mu'az bin Haji Tujoh.
The winner will be representing Brunei Darussalam for the "ASEAN+3 Youth Festival Photography Competition" in Singapore from July 28 to Aug 3. -- Courtesy of Borneo Bulletin

She's a representative from KK competing for the first time in the ISO category. Previously she competed in the Opie or Optimist class of boats, which were the tiny little one man boats. Even at her first competition, she bagged a respectable third place!

His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen takes a practice shot before the start of the game.
In what can be considered a spirited match, AM Gunners, led by His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen fought to the last minute, going down to a 2-4 score against Sekolah Sukan. A very entertaining match, with a very entertaining crowd cheering on both teams, meant a very, very entertaining shooting experience despite the light downpour. Most of us braved the rain with plastic bags over our gear to get a good shot of the action. The weather cleared up for the second half, which saw a flurry of goals.
His Royal Highness Prince Abdul Mateen takes a shot, which levelled the score 1-1.

Taken during the DST Women's Sports Day event at the Balapan last Sunday, which saw the Ministry of Finance team bagging second place overall. Good job team!
Good opportunity in getting to grips with my new TeleConverter. A stress test revealed it might not be able to keep up with fast sports, and I really need to do an AF Fine Tune to get the sharpest image possible. But I'll learn to work around the shortcomings and make it fit into my style of shooting.

Man, Kuraman is like the Venus sculpture. It's beautiful overall, but looking at it closely reveals imperfections. I'd go back if not for the one hour long ride on a small boat. My whole body was sore from the boat ride, and I think I swallowed too much sea water that I'm still nursing my sore throat.

A flag bearer stands infront of a giant Brunei flag that will be carried into the Taman Haji Sir Muda Omar Ali Saifuddien at the start of the National Day celebration.
The reflection off of the flag sets the subject apart nicely out of the background.

Couldn't get much focus blurred shots in, as the show ended abruptly. I was set up with a 70-200 at the outset, but once reality sets in, I had to run back to the car to get my 17-55. And focus blurring with the 17-55 is a real pain in the rear.

A young lady waves a mini Brunei flag while taking part in the march past at the capital.
I thought last year's celebration was already huge in terms of the number of photogs descending upon the capital, but here we fielded our own platoon of shooters almost rivalling any other photography organization. Great show guys!

I don't know, but I think the whole thing seemed like a party for the shutterbugs! Lovely models, which were more than willing to strike a pose. Thanks guys for the invite. You can count on me to cover more of your events!
To the TESLians, please e-mail me for the link, as I have kept your photos in a private area of my Flickr account. E-mail me at nizam [no spaces] rahman [@t] gmail [dawt] com.

Scenes from the National Day Rehearsal. Almost all the organization taking part have participated in this rehearsal, the last time before the real deal.
Had to compress it in, as the shops in the background was too 'bright'.
Reflecting on the day: It was good to see everyone fired up despite the cold weather.

I've always liked those shots accompanying economics pieces at the economics section of Borneo Bulletin, blurs of people passing huge pieces of advertisement or billboards. I don't know why I like em though.

More and more, the hiking bug is starting to bite, as images such as these warrants an hour or two hike up and down a beach, braving treacherous waves and small streams, for the chance to take that killer shot.
Story on the last two photos: I've been eyeing a spot along the inner area of Meragang Beach on Yahoo Maps/Flickr's Map facility, and when we got there, it was a disappointing marshy area, with the water completely hidden under the tall grass. Not being one to get disheartened so quickly, we set out to hike up along the beach, and to my surprise we found this area devoid of a crowd, where the river meets the seawater. I've completely forgot about it during the hike (the 3pm heat does fry the brain matter somewhat) but the discovery was at least the highlight of the trip. I might organize a camping trip there in the near future.
p/s: The last two shots were taken closest to Muara, on the west portion of the beach. You can check out the map here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/stupidlogic/sets/72157603849667047/map/. Click on the satellite link to see the map.
The set can be found here.

Armed with Primes, single focal length lenses, we head down to the wet market nearby from our usual morning hangout to capture the colors of the place. While the downstairs area was lively as usual, the top floor was not as packed, even some stalls decided to close down because of the decrease in foot traffic.
Set is here.

The had a huge screen projected with the images of the PES2008 multi-tap match, which was a huge crowd puller.
It was as if they were cheering for a real football game. The match ended with an upset of last year's winners, 5-0.

Out in the distance I saw this old lady walking carefully, bare feet, on the slippery pathways of Kg. Ayer, walking along oblivious to my presence with her face hidden in her relatively huge umbrella. This small, old lady was heading to a Surau or Prayer Hall which I just passed a couple of metres behind me. We were about to reach an intersection at which point, 3 young lads were just coming home from a futsal game. She immediately stopped, which I thought was peculiar.
Turns out she was letting the three young lads pass beside her. I figured I didn't wanna keep her waiting there, so I immediately stepped aside to the intersection where the kids came from to let her through.
At that point, it was kind of humbling to see this little old, frail lady was performing her duty as a Muslim, and even made the effort to go for prayers at the Surau in the rain. I snapped a couple of pictures of that moment, to remind me of her.
Before setting off, I eyed her, just to make sure she reaches the sheltered pathway to the surau, so as to get her feet out of the slippery area.
Man she reminds me of my grandma way too much.

Maybe I should start shooting in the rain more. I love the reflection off of the wooden pathways. Afterall, what's the use of a weather sealed body if you ain't gonna use it in the rain?

Taken last year, with Jim747 in tow. I practically forced him to shoot here.
CPL stacked with ND grad in front to cut off the bright sunlight. Didn't cut it off completely though, too bad.

She was quite popular with the kids that day.
Face painting was also quite popular, with a constant stream of kids and adults coming in and out.
