Just to share a Panorama Picture captured at Langkawi’s Oriental Village using Panasonic DMC-LX3 and stitched using ArcSoft’s Panorama Maker 4.

Fall is already here without having to make guesses as there are signs of Fall around here everywhere. I remember i blog about Fall long time ago at another blog page.. that most peoples will relate Fall to dull skies, trees without leafs.. it is colorless everywhere. Maybe there is how we have picture it having to live our lives at the Country that does not has 4 seasons.

I guess some may have already knew that but some may not. Fall can be very beautiful at the very beginning… before it turns into the dull sequence that we all knew. I have been waited for this moment for 3 years. 3 years ago, I was at Colorado where it is again, the beginning of Fall. I was sitting next to an Experience Engineer whom is also a photographer, he advised me of traveling to near by area to experiences the season change where the Aspen trees will started to change color. I listen to him, but my laziness made myself stay at the hotel over the weekend and when i finally get my lazy butt off the chair the next week. I was already too late that most of the leafs have fallen.

So, for this trip, i have waited and finally it is the time again for the Aspen trees to change color. I may not plan much for it, but this time I will make sure that I am not that lazy and miss the opportunity again. 3 of us paid a visit to the near by Twin Lake and then headed to Aspen Town thinking of going to the Maroon Lake that we have seen peoples posted online, and also seeing the same scenery on Postcard. We spent too much time on the journey and missed the hour that is best taking photo for this place. So, we shall pay Maroon Lake another visit next week. Here are some of the photographs taken along the way heading to Aspen town.

Visit my Aspen Gallery for more photographs.

13 of us went to Matang, Perak for a short photography outing. We have visited the Matang Mangrove Frorest Reserve, a Charcoal Factory and a fishing village at Kuala Sepetang. For the first time that i knew there are other tourist attractions other then Maxwell Hill, Zoo Taiping and the Lake Garden.

I didn’t manage to take a lot of shots at the Matang Mangrove Forest Reserve… mainly due to I don’t have any clue to shoot at… I ended up only minimum shots to remains after the final deletion the next day.

Some of the more interesting photographs from other photographers can be found at both PhotoMalaysia Forum and MyPDACafe Forum.

My shooting mood turn out better at the second location, maybe there are more things that I can see to photographs them. And again, I found out that I haven’t not seen much of the potentials subjects that can be photographed like the others. It is pretty obvious that there are much to learn and train up my sense of art creation. Some of the shots i decided to keeps.

Some of other shots are available at my other Photo Blog.

The last stop that we went is the Kuala Sepetang, I have no idea that we have to cross the "Straits" to the other side of the fishing village. Being carrying all the camera equipment to take a ride on that tiny sampan freaks me off. Imagine that everyone is standing on the tiny sampan.. with the wave created by other bigger fishing boats that making it swing from left and right like its going to over turns. It was the most exited experience for the whole day. Albert taken a pic of me on the Sampan… but its a bit blur. The clearer version can be find on PhotoMalaysia, Picture C1 by Maniac

Overall, this is a fun outing, especially that after I have taking a short rest from Photography after being frustrated from not able to be creative enough to produce interesting images. Hopes that i am able to relearn photography again to improves on the areas that i am still weak on.
