I went to a farmer’s company annual dinner held in Labis last January. Labis belong to Segamat district, just a small town with 20k population, around 1 hour 15 mins drive distance from Kluang. Basically it was a decent lunch with enthusiast local singing off-key karaoke performance. Done a sketch of Jalan Tenang old shop houses before I went back home.
Sharing some of the photos I took over a year ago. I was using compact camera, Ricoh GX200 borrowed from friend as my own Nikon DSLR was sent for service. At first, I felt rather insecure and skeptical on the performance of not so well known Ricoh brand (it is popular in Japan & US). I started to miss my dslr after first few click with Ricoh, however I kinda like it more after I get the grasp of its function. Since compact camera doesn’t have ‘machine gun’ mode, I have to fine tune my timing skill in order to capture flying pineapple. I stood firmly infront of all the big guns and happily clicked away with this amazing lil camera…
Some of Ricoh’s black and white setting;
After pineapple farm, we drove by Machap and visited Aw Pottery factory;
I’m quite impress with Ricoh’s macro mode. It can produce very nice and sharp macro photo with decent magnification and close shooting distance. I took roughly 400 photos with Ricoh GX200 using LCD viewer and the battery level still showing 70% level, which is quite long lasting. At the end of the trip, I felt I don’t really miss my DSLR after all.
I was given the opportunity by “I Love Kluang” to have a part in for their Calendar 2011 Project.
The calendar consist of 12 photographs taken in Kluang showing images from 7am to 8pm. Each pages can be detached easily to be recycled as postcard and bookmark. (Thanks to the brilliant design by Konghwee & Ying)
Profit made from this calendar will be donated to poor families to support their children’s education needs.
These calendars are available at Kluang Rail Coffee Station for RM10 each.
