Trail shot at Jamie Mosque in Kiulap... 48 images from EOS 50D and trail shot done together with EOS 40D. Both camera didn't disappointing me and off course EOS 40D cannot beat EOS 50D. For other camera I think 'Asta La Vista Baby'.

PELUMPONG AND PILONG ROCK PHOTO OUTING

On 31st August 2008, Me and couple of photographer friends are going off for a photo outing and it's really a new place for us.

We assemble at Pekan Muara around 4.30 am well I think most of the people are still in good dream. From there we went to the place where our ride are waiting.








Image from the place where we are waiting.

At a round 5.oo am our ride arrived and we all go in the boat with an excitement in our new adventure.

A long the way one of my mate ask me, 'What time shall we be back?' and I reply him 'Probably around 10 or 11' and he said 'What... What picture are we going to take there?' Well I told him '1st we are going to Tanjong Pelumpong for sunrise photos then we going to Pilong Rock Island then may be we are going some place else after that' and he satisfiy with my answer.

"Sorry bro have to mention the situation in myblog.. Heeheeheeee...."








A bove is our ride.

The time when we arrive at our 1st stop we all were so excited already with the beauty that nature showed. Gooossssshhhh.... It's really cool dude...





























All images above are not manipulated, it's all the work of professional photographer.

It's really awesome guys really really beauty creation by our mighty ALLAH... Worth waking up at 3 am.


















We stay there until 7 am. Suddenly I heard something fishy. When I turn my back to our food... Guests what???













This guy stealing our food...

We left the 1st place and when up to the most beautiful beach in Brunei Darussalam 'THE
TANJONG PELUMPONG BEACH'.

On our way... there's a bit of disturbing eyes sight that we cross.


















May be one day we saw a jet carrier park at this place... I think what they should do with the wooden ship wreck is to put it deep under water as man made reef well it's gonna be gone after ten years but with that blue ship what they should do is to send it over to metal scrap factory at least they got some money in return... Rather then making the place look ugly...








This is also a bad image to our country especially tourists. May be this businessman does not know how to appreciate our country Brunei Darussalam.

Birds at the fish breeding cage place are also another beauty.













If you plan to go visit this place do not hesitate to contact me at +6738833822 one week before going for RETURN BOAT TRIP ARRANGEMENT only and if you want free you can just swim across to reach the place...

Just look at the symbol below mean to say you reach the place already...











The clear crystal water doesn't stop me to take photos and I try to see what's living near those block of rocks.



























That's me after enjoying my early morning swim. You can see Labuan island at the horizon from this beach... Coollll....

For people whom planning to visit this place for picnic or camping it's really good but after you all done your picnic or camping do clean up the place and bring back your garbage to the main land don't just leave it there...

"Take Nothing But Photograph, Leave Nothing But Foot Print"
Mun Faham Bisai...

From there we going out to the South China Sea for Pilong Rock Island. On the way there, we took lots of photos.













At the far we already can see our next stop for photography. Minutes passes then we reach the place.

'WELCOME TO PILONG ROCK ISLAND.'





















One of my mate photographer ask me "If we can go up to the island" and I told him "It's the place of historical value and it's under the Brunei Museum Observation".

So we only took photos of the island from the boat but










this is the shots of our ride at crystal clear water of Pilong Rock.









Muara Port view from our ride before we go back. Total Shot for this outing was 20GB.
