Before 2013 Come...The 3 Lesson in 2012

2012...the year that I learn to see with my heart and mind, to learn and respect the subject than I see and to appreciate the moments that I had.

Learn and respect your subject...

Why we called it a subject not an object? Because we need to learn and understand the thing that we want to see. Did snake bite? Did snake venomous? Did snake dangerous? That's why its important to learn from our subject.

Moment...sometimes we need to find, and sometimes it come to us. Disappointment occurs when we not found it. Regrets squeezing our heart when we failed to catch it.

See more with you heart and mind...feel with your heart, think with your mind.

How do you feel? What do you think?

"You see more with your heart and mind" - Rabani HM Ayub

This is the 3 lesson that I've learn in 2012. A special year that I will not forget, all these great experience and moment that I had, all these obstacles and sad moment that I've faced will be a big lesson in my life.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013!

Mount Kinabalu...our majesty in Sabah

Mount Kinabalu is the 10th highest mountain in Southeast Asia and the highest peak in Borneo's Crocker Range. The height of the mountain is about 4,095 meter (13,435 ft) from the sea level.

     Whats make Mount Kinabalu so attractive? For me, it's because of it shape. If you ever notice, the shape of the mountain is very unique and look different from a different view. My favorite view spot of this mountain is from Kampung Keguran, Kota Belud and from Mantabawan Binsuluk river, Kuala Penyu.

A boat from Binsulok is heading to Kuala Penyu Town with a majestic view of Mount Kinabalu as a background during one cloudy morning at Mantabawan Binsulok river, Kuala Penyu.

Instead of shape and sizes, it also looks beautiful and dramatic during moonlit night. You can see some stars and drifting clouds if you shoot with a longer exposure. Here is just some of my best collection of this mountain during a moonlit night. Hope I have a chance to shoot in other places someday.

I never get bored looking at this mountain everyday, its just so attractive to me. I just wish to had a home near this mountain so I can see it everyday when I open the door. The weather is cold and the landscape is so amazing and thanks to God for creating such a magnificent landscape. I'm so proud to be a Sabahan. I just hope this nature will always be preserve so one day my children and grand-children can see this beautiful creation without any destruction. 

Thanks for spending your time reading my blog and sorry for my bad grammar, hope you all can understand my writing and can be a references for you all. Have a great day =)

Hello & Welcome

Hello and welcome to everyone who may visit or reading my blog right now. Welcome to my Blog. In my blog, I may involve some of my photography record in my lovely country, Sabah. 

     For your information, Sabah is the best place for landscape photography in Malaysia. In Sabah, you can see some breathtaking view especially on the east coast seaside, north coast seaside and the west coast mountainside. Beside seaside and mountainside, Sabah also rich with its religious rainforest and biodiversity. In addition, Sabah also rich with the indigenous people culture.
