East Coast Trippin'

East Coast Malaysia is another paradise in Malaysia, clear sandy beach, cool air and clear water. Not much I can describe of it and the pictures say it all. Decided to do my first east coast ride, 2 days one night. I will be stopping at several places, mostly outskirt. Spend one night at Dungun, Terengganu and head back to my home town at the next day.

21th October 2012

Finish my trip one day ago, a brief introduction on my trip - first stop at Bentong for breakfast, later on ride the old back road pass through Sungai Koyan, Gua Musang, Tasik Kenyir, Marang. Stay one night at Dungun and rode to Mersing and back to my lovely home town Batu Pahat the next day. Total distance is 1090 KM. This is also one ride to prepare for another upcoming Ko Lanta,Thailand ride which is 850KM one way. 

Tasik Kenyir, the largest man made lake in South East Asia, previously an ore mining place. Too bad it was raining on and off at Tasik Kenyir, did not stay too long over there.

Another beach that we stop by on the road from Pekan to Rompin, the best beach in my opinion, clean, not populated, located just beside the coastal road

Nice trip, too bad second half of the trip was raining quite heavily at some area, the worst is when pass by some truck and red muddy road. Not a pleasant thing when water and red mud mix, catalyzed with big fat truck at the front which make overtaking become very challenging. Any way, plan to come back next year after the east coast monsoon season. Good ride.

Photography

I have been in photography for quite some number of years, 3 years on DSLR. But shame to say only recently I am trying to produce some 'edited' picture. Edited pictures are kind of no no for me before then, but think carefully, even my DSLR sensor postprocess picture before I can view it in the LCD screen at the back because every sensor can only takes RAW file where can not be view by any normal software. As a result the camera will process the image before output it for you to view. So recently took some RAW image and process it in photoshop kind of program.

There is one technique we call it HDR (high dynamnic range) where computer render same picture taken in different exposure(i personally prefer differ the brightness)  and merge it into one. The end result, stunning high contrast, drawing like picture, dramatic too. Any way, these are some of my recent product.
