Greetings from Malaysia!

Let me take a break from technicalities and just present what our Borneo Trekmeet looked like. After our Mt Kinabalu summit climb, it rained when we (2 of us ahead of the pack) descented to base camp at Mt Kinabalu Park HQ and it was almost 4pm. Once we got our hired car, 2 of us went to look for the Sabah members scheduled to meet at 3pm. After some search, we found a small group of people hanging around a restaurant with cameras flashing around. 'This must be it,' I thought to myself.

True enough, it was Rabani, Ramdan, Fadzil with a lady friend waiting for us. Great to meet this group of photographers. The night we stayed near the Park and shared some good tips, and some of us shot macro of insects. Next day early morning we went to Kundasang for breakfast, photo shoot (it was cloudy and misty), then onto Poring hotsprings and ended up at Sabah Tea before we split.

Here is the group self-portrait shot (on 10s timer, actually Fadzil and myself both shooting this on remote timer, so both posing a bit odd here due to time limit)

Thank you Sabah Trekpeople! It was fun. And for other Malaysian trekmembers, keep shooting. Till we meet again, or if we wont meet again, take good care. Thank you for viewing and stopping by.

Regards, Bill

Hi Bill

Remind me not to get into an argument, with the big guy on the left. He looks like Olympic wrestling material. A superb group portrait, with excellent sharpness. Tfs!

Hello Bill. This is beautiful portrait. I can tell the comradeship of the people sharing the same passion. Your workshop in Ramdan's post tells it all and thanks for the dedication. It is very well appreciated and after my Langkawi Photohunt, it became more obvious. One to be remembered for the album. Very well done and best regards. Jusni

Hello Bill,
Happy moment capture nicely.
Good composition with this group shot. TFS
