A beach in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines.

This is actually a dead bee which was landed on my cactus plant, thought it is a good opportunity to use my macro lens.

A mosque located in Kuala Kubu Bharu, approximately 70 km from the capital city of Kuala Lumpur.

I spent a long weekend with my friends, booked a villa by the beach, sunrise and the sound of the waves, simply amazing.

A place called Corong-Corong Island, El Nido, Palawan, Philippines.

Pancake with strawberries and banana, perfect with hot coffee.

A beach with a rocky shoreline, people don't swim in it due massive waves, but very popular with its breathtaking view of sunrise.

An interesting tunnel in the city of Macau.

Bored during lockdown? No problem, be creative, so I made some pots from old clothes and cement, paint and voila, a pretty pot for my plants.

My niece have requested me to do a prenup shoot for them in an unusual place, couldn't think anywhere else other than in this location, it's

A lovely and fiery sunset and blue hour are my favourite colors, this was taken during our holiday in a beautiful island of El Nido, Palawan, Philippi

This beautiful bridge is located in Putrajaya, Malaysia. It's changing light colours are simply just amazing.

Location

The photo was taken from the edge of the pond in front of the main temple, a great spot to get that sunrise shot of the Angkor Wat Temple

Time

As far as I remember, this photo was taken at around 5.30am, but to get an unobstructed photo, you have to be in the place no later than 4.30am.

Lighting

As the surrounding was still dark, pointing at the direction of the sunrise gives a better focused shot.

Equipment

Tripod is a must used in this photo, I used my 6D Canon with 16-35mm lens, no flash.

Inspiration

After seeing so many beautiful sunrise photos of the majestic Angkor Wat, it has given me an inspiration and desire to have my own photo of the Angkor Wat sunrise.

Editing

Using the Lightroom, from the RAW image, I adjusted the shadows, contrast and highlights to give the photo more life.

In my camera bag

I usually have my 6D Canon with 24-70mm, 16-35mm and my 100mm lenses. And then tripod if I know I will need it.

Feedback

As the Angkor Wat is hugely popular, be at the location at least 2 hours earlier than the rest, find an unobstructed area, place the tripod in a steady area, be patient, keep shooting until you get that perfect photo.
