Photography Workshop to commemorate Malaysian Flora Fest 2008 at MATIC on 29th June 2008

Three weeks ago, sometimes on Saturday morning, as I was tuning in to TV9 on segment 'Nasi Lemak & Kopi O' hosted by Aziz Desa, former TV3 presenter... come again?.. Haven't heard of the show...?? Well... how could you if you always wake up at noon... you have to wake up early morning in order for you to watch it :-D... Anyway, if you got the chance to wake up early morning this weekend, try tuning in to TV9 at 08:00 hrs. It's rather an informative show.. just like 'Malaysia Hari Ini' and 'Selamat Pagi Malaysia'... however in much relax environment :-)

Well, anyway.. near to the end of the show, Aziz Desa announced about Photography Workshop hold by Ministry of Tourism which at that time going to be held on the 29th June 2008. Hearing this, I was so thrilled. I really want to attend photography workshop, because I want to have the experience. Automatically, the face of my best

photography friend; Durah came into mind.. suddenly my fingers felt just want to sms her.. which I did. It turned out that she was also interested in the workshop.

I later contacted MOTOUR, however I was advised to call Editor of LIBUR in the end to get further information on the workshop. Excuzes-moi.. haven't heard of the LIBUR?... Well, its a good magazine as well, cater for those who loves traveling, really informative.. don't believe me... try buying one, you'll see:-) To make long story short, the Editor of LIBUR; En Azli was very helpful by willingly 

register our name; myself, my hubby and Durah for the workshop.

On the 29th, three of us arrived at MATIC around 08:30 hr.. yeah, I know it was Sunday.. sorry WEEKEND.. we had to kissed you goodbye coz the workshop was for the whole day; 09:00hr until 17:30hr. The presenter was En Izahar Atan, well experienced in his field of photography and the best part, even though he alone had to handle the talk throughout the workshop but it was never boring.. instead, it was very much entertaining.. He was really good in making his audience always stay at high interest level.

The contents of his talk focused on 'Traveling Photography' ranges from what essential items to bring for such travelling as well as how to get the best composition from your subject until Marine photography. Seems that, Marine photography is rather expensive than land photography, because your have to buy 'housing'..which is priced at almost the same price as the DSLR..Hmm, maybe it is wise for me to stick to land photography first, yea:-)

By the way, all of the participant was given a goody bag upon registration contains 3 karangkraf magazines; LIBUR, NONA, Remaja and a black 'Flora Fest T-Shirt' cool design while participation certificate and another black 'LIBUR'

T-Shirt upon event closing:-) 

As a postmortem, this event is not just affordable, it is also worthwhile.. Imagine, a RM50/day workshop; free parking + breakfast + lunch + goody bag + 2 T-Shirts + cert + invaluable knowledge sharing :-) Hey, don't feel sad, there's always a next year coz they hold this event annually...so don't missed it in the future :-)

To capture the memory, I placed in this blog several photos my hubby+Durah and myself shot during the event (by the way, it was a wonderful surprise when I met another PETRONAS friend there, En Ally which had been so generous to share his bakawali photos with the workshop group).

Enjoy :-)
