Photography Outing: Lake Gardens

Shall blog about the little Photography Outing I had last Thursday during my holiday~~

Was sort of like a last minute planning, but since Poh Wei is back for a few days, decided to just take him out somewhere, wanting to being my cousin along but he had his own plans~ first brought Poh Wei to EngTong to get his tripod, it was on offer Rm295 so not that bad also =)

So... we headed off to Lake Gardens, heard some nice things about that place, so just went to check it out for myself~ once reached there...

"Har?? Like this ahh??"

Kinda plain, was cheated by all the nice views on the internet... lots of malays all over the place on the swings~ but just move on and see what we could take~
Nice colored flower.... see that little bee in the middle flying there?? Too bad... no Macro lens to capture it -_-"

Ahhh the bushes... over here was where I found a very beautiful blue dragonfly... so big and nice!! But whenever I tried to approach near it, it would fly away... arrrgh... no zoom lens, no macro lens... no good shot...

So just walked away frustrated... u wait la... I set fire to ur home then you know...
Nicely colored leaf up there... would be more wonderful if I had a zoom lens ~ XD

Nice interesting area where the sunbeam shines down just in one part, but I think this could improve to be much much more better~~ super photoshopping perhaps??
Poh Wei's macro shot~ this dragonfly was one of the kindest to stop and pose~~

Bridge... looks kinda safe till you get nearer to it....why??? Well....
Cause of a swarm of bees flying around like mad..... scary but makes an interesting shot, sort of like like trails but more like bee trails~~
Wonder what's all the fuss about??
But stupid me la... went near take picture then talk talk talk till I think one flew into my mouth... now I know how it feels when a fly flies into your mouth when you keep it open~
Another nice dragonfly that waited for me... but this is the closest I could get... Macro Lens.... -_-"
Big area in the center.... no purpose of it's existence.... but if you were to go to the middle...

You'd see all of these weird things in the middle... what in the wide world??? I think it's frog eggs??
Red Ant Owns Black Ants
This.... must be a beehive since I see those little things flying in and out
This is a pier... and you can rent a boat that practically goes nowhere far... -_-""
Only thing interesting is the chains I guess
Then you can find an... Edible Garden...??

But yet when you go inside they forbid you from touching anything, not to say even nibbling it... mainly all ubi kayu la..



Cross the street and you'll see a little pond with awesome looking flowers there
Yet again if you want perfect close up pictures, macro lens~ XD
Bokeh Bokeh... woo...
Spinning Bokeh.... wooo...

If you don't control your depth of field well... you would get very sharp and clear results all the way which looks rather erm.... confusing
Shiny leaf~ wonder if they polish it??
Then you would see a huge round rock with pimples... don't worry those aren't mushrooms, just rocks paste on another rock.. these people too free d
Another pond but it's totally dried up... bad maintenance...

And this stature has no meaning..... on the book it writes Landmarks and nothing else...
Ahhh yes... walk abit more and you'll find this.... since it's free... why not?? =)
Sang Kancil =.=

It looks so skinny and depressing T.T
Deers... and a pidgeon walking around with them... must be thinking it's a deer~
This deer is weird!! It was smiling the whole time!!!
Have to pay money to purchase deer treats, which ends up to be just bread... -_-"


The same smiling deer~ I think it was laughing earlier~~
Nice...
Then after awhile I saw that the skies were turning gray, meaning time to go, then came a malay photographer with his wedding couple just arriving, they look excited, so does it~not to know that 5mins later came a storm -_-

Wonder what happened to them??

Actually there's nothing much about Lake Garden... and what is my conclusion after this outing??

Well unless you're here to take wedding portraits, or coming with a model, then it's a perfect place to do it~ cause of interesting places for the model to pose~ but if you come alone like me, there's nothing at all!!! -_-"

And of course, having a zoom lens and a macro lens here too makes things oh so wonderful =)

Not to mention if you travel a bit you can find a butterfly farm, which cost rm18 per entry, and rm1 more if you have a camera, rm4 if you have a video camera... whew!!
