Malaysia

I just wanted to let everyone know I am going to be taking a little photo safari to Malaysia through the second half of February and back at the beginning of April.

I am looking at an iPad to enable me to continue this work while on the road: I'll take one for a test drive in a few weeks and will know better then.

In the meanwhile — I see that at least one student is taking up the challenge of low-light photography.  This is a wonderful and rewarding endeavor — all you really need is a tripod. 

We'll be discussing this in our YDIP12 area, so keep in touch at the flickr site.

I'll give you more information about the Malaysia trip soon:  preparing for the photographic end has been quite interesting, and I'll share a few things that I've found very helpful in a later post.  It'll certainly give others a change to share tips they've found helpful.
Low Light Example:
In the old French colonial streets of Luang Prabang (Laos)
the night life is mellow and friendly.  Carrying a tripod
is a must for low-light photography, but worth it for some.

  1. So are we, as students, encouraged to take this trip with you? A photography session in Malayasia for your students, I would think you could "write off" all of OUR costs for the flight, etc :) Ok, I am only slightly jealous!! I like doing the low-light photography, tripod definitely needed, by me anyway:) I will post the pictures I took this morning.
    Cheers and I am having a great time learning and playing with my camera, Thanx Warren.

  2. Lisa — I have spoken to my accountant and she has explained very patiently to me that I cannot have any more friends coming along for free — even if they have cameras. I hope that was not exasperation in her voice.

  3. I think you need a new accountant! Sounds like a real business write off to me! Wendi
