Testing the 5D mark II in KLCC
Had an opportunity on my birthday to test out my new gear, the 5D mark II in Kuala Lumpur.
I think the KLCC shots has been overdone, but nonetheless it is still a very beautiful place.
This is taken from Trader hotel window. Yes, this is the view from the room. On that night, I also tried out some auto bracketing functions in the 5dm2 but this came out as my favorite as it is almost SOOC. I did a minor tone adjustment, saturation, resize and adding a watermark using photoshop.
Shot with the new 5D mark II with 24-105L IS USM
Focal length – 28mm
Aperture – F/9
Shutter Speed – 10 seconds
ISO – 50
After putting it into test, I realize that it is far from what I’ve been using in the past, the Canon 450D. Even the controls are different, the AF speed is different, shutter sound. There is so much for me to get used to and I need to start adjusting myself to suit its tempo.

Jeju Island
I was traveled to South Korea with my girl friend and just got back last week. One our first day, we arrived at Incheon Airport in Seoul, visited a few place before we took another flight to Jeju Island. I really enjoy Jeju Island and highly recommend it to anyone who is going to Korea. The island is full of scenic landscapes, fresh air and peace of mind.
This photo is taken half way up Sangbansang, we did not have enough time to get to the top, but half way is enough to get such a spectacular view.
A place that I missed is Hallasan, it was closed due to the heavy snow. Public transport could not get close enough to the peak because it is too dangerous.
And finally, this is me sending my greetings while enjoying myself.
