Perseids Meteor

2am, despite the slight drizzle in my area, I decide to venture out to some other parts of KL in hope to capture the Perseids Meteor. This image was captured around 3am just when I was giving up, stacked 5 exposures together on the camera, trigger by remote with mirror lock-up to minimize any shakes. It’s not exactly like what we see anywhere else but heck, it’s not often that I get to capture a faint image of the meteor shower right?

I actually duplicate the images on top of each other via photoshop in the hope to brighten the showers up so we can actually see it here but I think my attempt at it just make it look fake. Anyhow, this is the only one of two I manage to capture with a faint hint of a meteor shower. The other one looks pathetically like this. (more…)

The Santa Fe Experience

The following photos are done in a way emulating a car poster to promote a vehicle to an extend. I’m not sure if it worked but do feel free to comment on them.

I had an opportunity to test drive the Santa Fe in rough conditions, not through Hyundai but through a client that I was shooting for. As the location we went to are very rough for a normal car, the best alternative is to use a 4×4, it’s tall enough to not get the car stuck in mud, rocks or any objects that could stop a car dead in it’s track.

Birds Birds Birds!

A couple of Sundays back, jrhogan and I decide to go and shoot some birds. A very impromptu arrangement that was made not by sms or phone calls but over a chatroom filled with all sort of conversation. Amazing how we could still arrange to do something in a busy chatroom with a very constant and fast flow of messages by each users. Anyway, an arragement we did have and at noon on the sunday, we set off to the location to try and shoot some birds. These are what I caught… through my lens. I will try to name each bird species accordingly but do let me know if I got any one of them wrong.

Manchester United vs Malaysia – Photos from Field Level

Posted By Michael Yip / July, 21, 2009 / 23 comments

The stadium wasn’t as packed as the Saturday game, must say that the Malaysian team wasn’t playing as well as the first game either. Here are some of my thoughts along with loads of photos.


The Starting 11

The defensive players held on tight to their positioning and did well even though 2 goals were scored against them. Can’t really compare much between a team that’s been playing together for an entire season and a team assembled 12 days prior to the game right? (more…)
