Jalan-jalan...

After having breakfast with my mum, dad, charlie and Ah Kau Uncle (The Big Bos of Royal Hotel Keningau).We have no place to go around Keningau. Finally Esther suggest to go KK, without any discussion, everybody agree, so i directly go to the patrol station and start our non-planned journey to KK. We reach KK around 12.30pm, hooo...! really hot and shining day at KK city today...while my wife going shopping herself accompany by her sisters, Charlie and me (Charles) try to find some where nice to have a snap with my new SLR digicam. I m going to the seaside just located behind of Wisma Merdeka...wuaaaah..nice scene... weather is really good and may snap some photos!
As u know that, i m not a professional photographer and i just bought my new SLR digicam just 1 week ago. When i facing this kind of weather with really bright sunlight, hot day and the sunlight reflection also very strong...ha...? I m asking "How to Shoot?" Aduh... pening kepala o...!
I try to snap few post with manual mode,and the result are..."too bright","too shine" ,even the sky look white colour. Hahaha... in my mind,may be it is because of the "shutter setting" but i have no time to set it because of the "super" hot day. so lastly....i use the programmed mode in my digicam "Landscape"....wuoooo...it's totally solve all the problems!!!!

Here are few photos took, but i still think that it need improve The Sea View Behind Wisma Merdeka Shopping Centre

Sooner or later, when you have reached a certain level of proficiency and decided that you have "invested" enough money into your equipment, you will want to recoup back some of that money by going into freelance photography.
