Selangor Shine photo hunt

Joined a photo hunt for the first time, with my aunt & her friend (whom i just met for the first time today, a 25-fresh-graduate-boy)

The photo hunt is organized by PCP, sponsored by Tourism Selangor for Tahun Melawat Selangor.

At 8AM we all gathered for registration in Dataran Shah Alam (which we spend about 20 minutes turning all around that area to find the entrance in as part of the road as blocked)..

Then after everyone changed into bright yellow T-shirt, and a short briefing, the photo hunt starts!

We head all the way from Shah Alam – Klang – Carey Island – Jenjarom, Banting – Jugra – Morib – Gold Coast, Sepang – Sungai Pelek...

It took us longer to find the routes thus out team skipped Gold Coast, Sepang in order to get to the Banghuris Homestay, Sungai Pelek to submit the photos in time (4pm)...

Great (though tiring) experience! This is the first time I actually see for myself that Selangor has so many small but beautiful places! *but most of them are really... san-ka-la...

Experience learnt: Through the photo sharing session after the submission, I TOTALLY understand that good photographers can still take MARVELOUS photos under time contrain... *totally in awe of their work!*

Another experience learnt: NEVER find a person that don't photograph... to join photo hunt (unless he's just the driver)!

1. If you don't OWN a basic camera/ your mobile camera is <2MP, I can define it as you can't afford it YET, yes i'm ok with it...*as there's a time I don't have camera myself thus using other's whenever we go out tgt*

2. By lending you a camera, your photo result is totally just FLAT... Ok, I can understand that really need practise...

3. BUT not only flat, you can't take a photo with the RIGHT FOCUS of the subject?! that's totally unbearable in photo hunt! urgh...

Anyway, it's late now... Will try to upload some photos of the hunt asap... Stay tuned :)
