Willy CHEN Photowalk: NO Chimping

31-DEC-2011. Sunny day. A group of us. Walked along the streets of Georgetown. About 2.5 KM. It was a farewell shoot. Our 'captain'. Alex Yeap. The rules of the day. No chimping and using prime lens only. Viewing everyone photos in Old Town with Alex's projector. Great time. Until we meet again for next shoot. All the best. Willy Chen.

P/S: Photos with no post processing.

FILM:DIANA mini

Film is definitely here to stay!

This is the second roll of film I took using Diana Mini. The film I used is Kodak Ultramax ISO400. The format I took is square format. I asked the shop to develop and scan the negative for me. Somehow, I managed to get 31 photos out of 36 frames in that roll. Probably, the film got stuck inside the camera without me knowing it when I tried to wind the film forward. I am quite happy with the result this time. You can view the complete set of photos over here.

Two Breakfasts - Moontree47

Penang really needs more cafes of this sort. This cafe shows what real Penang is for the tourists. It is laid-back, original and yet exciting. Most of the furniture in this cafe are hand made by the owners to give the authentic sense. In my humble opinion, it is very well decorated, although none of furniture looks posh nor expensive. If I were a tourist to Penang, I would to stay in the rooms which this cafe will soon offer.  

It is a cool place to hang out and I will make a second visit soon.

This cafe is located at the middle section of Lebuh Muntri.

I just love this pair of chairs here.The wooden chair gives a nice contrast to the black leather chair. It would be more interesting if the Marilyn Monroe picture could be hung at the center but, again, I am not sure if the picture would take away the attention of these chairs.

The bacon sandwiches are good with reasonable price. Breakfast for two cost us RM26, including the milk and honey lemon.

I can't resist to shoot this hand washing area. Just look at the white basin!

Pictory Submission - She does it with grace

Please read the caption which I submitted with this photo at below.

My mother is such a good cook. I grew up knowing that for a fact. She is probably the best cook among all her 7 siblings. My tongue has the capability to taste the dishes which she cooked from the dishes which are not. She is also a keen learner. Recently, she learned how to bake cakes and pastries. In this photo, she is making a type of Malay pastries. She just does it with grace with her nimble hands.

How did I welcome the first day of the year?

For me, it is nothing better than indulging myself in a honeycomb goldrush espreski and brownie with vanilla ice cream!

2011 is going to be awesome!

No complaint on the espreski!

However, the soft chocolate layer on top of the brownie was a little too thick. I still prefer the old brownie which Dome cafe used to serve. The brownie is best to be eaten with vanilla ice cream. Please request the restaurant to heat up the cake before serving.

31-12-2010

I decided to get out of the bed a bit early on the very last day of the year to experience the streets of Penang. This little walk around is supposed to train my eyes also as a photographer. By going back to the same locations again and again, I need to observe more and try out different angles to look at things around the locations. Sometime I just want to go back to the basic to shoot something which every beginner would try to shoot when they first bought their camera. It makes me feel that I started to learn again and the only reason I am out there is to capture something interesting or beautiful. Even though I only managed to cover one whole street from the beginning till the end of street because of the time constraint, it really made me feel this is the best thing to do before wrapping up 2010.

Goodbye 2010! It has been a blessed year!
