GENTING

I’m beginning to prefer using my Nikkor 18-200mm F/3.5-5.6 over the Tamron 17-50mm F/2.8. During my Genting trip, I brought only the former, the Nikkor 50mm F/1.8 and my SB600 with new yummlicious Sanyo Eneloop batteries that cost me S$60! Everything is so expensive – O-M-G! The low self-discharge NiMH batteries are reported to be able to retain its charge to about 70 to 85% of their capacity after one year of use – so in a way, I’ll be saving money and the inconvenience of buying new batteries in the long run.

Shot was taken out of a window outside Highland hotel. Scenery was beautiful as the sun was setting. The time was approximately 6.30PM. The hotel’s window had a lock which didn’t allow me to open the window fully but I still manage to slide my fat lens across an opening to capture this. The coolness of the air added a punch to the whole experience. Wicked!

To the left of the moutains (previous image) were these blocks of hotel apartments. The cable car lines stretched all the way down to Kuala Lumpur and take those narrow roads alongside the moutain and you’ll be literally living life on the edge! I like the nice contrast between the green foregrounds and the blue backgrounds of the the skies and moutains (or hills?).
