I'm in a black and white phase at the moment. LOL.
Just thought I'd share some shots from our Victorinox Swiss Army Maverick II photoshoot. I hope it looks okay. :D

No one of Facebook seems to care about these photos. LOL. Better off on Flickr or the blog.
B & W
I've always had an inclination towards black and white photos. And they're beautiful not just because they are black and white. There's something more to it that I can't quite put a finger on and it kills me. It's like, you take a picture and simply use a GIMP/Photoshop filter to turn it into B&W but still don't get that authentic feel. Alas, experimenting is the only way.
P.S I shoot directly in B&W btw :D
Quails @ Burung Puyuh
I was at my aunt's place on the 3rd day of Raya with the rest of the family. She just moved in to the place and it is FAR. Well anyways, she rares quails just outside her house. The eggs are so cute! About a quarter the size of a chicken egg but be warned, I was told that quail eggs pack double the cholestrol than that of chicken eggs. So do go easy on them.
Random-est Trip Ever
So my bro, cousin and I headed for my aunt's house in Rawang for a little Hari Raya gathering and took the 118 Exit to Bukit Beruntung. Therein we noticed the signboard "Genting Highlands" pointing towards the same exit as well.
Genting was nowhere near our plans but when we saw that signboard we (I, a least) immediately thought, "Why not?".
Truth be told, I wasn't sure at all how this route was gonna take us to Genting. Turns out it was the "jalan dalam" to highlands. Not the MRR2 route that many of use have been accustomed to.
I enjoyed the view of the countryside (while the passengers snoozed) past Serendah, Sg. Buaya etc and also the constant throb in my head and heart, wondering if we were on the right track (signboards there on, not very helpful. They all pointed to Ipoh. lol).
Random is the word of the day. No plans made whatsover to visit Pahang. As such we suffered from the cold because no one of us brught a jacket and I was in flip flops. Brilliant.
Thought of driving all the way up there but my brother suggested us to take cable car instead. Panned out to be a great idea. The view from the gondola was magnificent.
Here are some shots taken from my Raya 09 in Genting.
Big Pictures, Little Cars
I like taking macro shots. But it gets kinda tough at times depending on several factors, ESPECIALLY lighting. Getting too close to the subject results in a cast shadow over it. Doh!
ANYWAY,
Living in a house with a toddler, naturally, we have toy cars lying around the house everywhere (and I mean, EVERYWHERE).
Rounded up a few of them and took some macro shots.
