Sigma Bootcamp 2.0 with Steve Chong and Wesley Wong

Had a fun time with Steve Chong and Wesley Wong at Tin Alley, Ipoh, last Sunday. Steve shared his amazing travel photos while Wesley shared the interesting features of the new Sigma fp (fortissimo pianissimo) camera. June Lim was a wonderful model and we had a great time. Thanks, Sigma Malaysia!

I didn't have the chance to use the Sigma fp though, as they only had 2 units. But I had the chance to be poisoned by the Sigma 105mm. Here are some of the photos taken. Some are taken with my Sony a7R3 with Sony 16-35mm and Sony 85mm.

Birding in Fraser's Hill

I joined the birding activity organised by PSPJ (Persatuan Foto Seni Petaling Jaya) in their collaborative event with Sony Malaysia recently.

Thinking of trying out the latest Sony 200-600 FE lens before buying it but I failed to get my hands on their loan unit.

As I wasn't poisoned in any way with the Sony 200-600 FE lens, there's no reason to buy one yet.

Money saved! 😂

Photos below are taken using my Sony a6400 with my Sigma 150-600mm lens adapted to it using MC-11.

This combination is great as it delivers and it's also a lot more affordable.

My first time there, I feel that Fraser's Hill is a great birding location as well as a good place to spend your leisure time with your family.

I've created a short GIF file of the timelapse at Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Mosque

Apparently I can create a GIF file out of my timelapse photos. Why didn't I think of that earlier? Too bad it's too big a file size to be uploaded onto the blog. Oh well...

Played with the Sony a6400 and attached the Sony 16-36 FE lens onto it. Although the S&Q feature is quite fun to play with, it's only available in 1080HD!

I had formatted my micro sdcard before my flight this morning. Thinking I was prepared, I wasn't aware that the app on my phone had automatically switched to record the footage to internal storage.

After breakfast and in front of my computer at home, I was disappointed when I couldn't see this morning's photos and videos when I attempted to transfer files from the sdcard. Only after being able to download some photos using the app on the smartphone then I realised that the files could be stored in the internal storage instead!

Thankfully all files are intact and here's a short compilation of the recording taken this morning:
