\nSometime 17th August 2008, I was down in Malacca with my A700! Here’s the Peleng 8mm F3.5 M42 circular fisheye shot through a Kenko 1.5x teleconverter to give a nice diagonal fisheye conversion.<\/p>\n


\nSup dawg. Friend of Cheddie’s<\/a>?<\/p>\n


\nMalacca is colorful!<\/p>\n


\nFor tea.<\/p>\n


\nDad out of frame.<\/p>\n


\nKid out of frame.<\/p>\n


\n66% crop from the Minolta 70-210mm F4 beercan, a perfect travel lens.<\/p>\n


\nSt. Francis Xavier’s statue in front of St. Paul’s Church.<\/p>\n


\nThe beercan does 1:4x macro in front of Dutch Square.<\/p>\n


\n66% crop.<\/p>\n


\nBuzz off.<\/p>\n


\nOnward to February 2009, when I got the A900 and took it down to Penang. This is where the bus stopped. Serious!<\/p>\n


\nAh, where I came from.<\/p>\n


\nTemplar<\/a> brought me on the ferry and all the way across the island to Batu Feringgi (however the heck it is spelled – different signs had totally different ways of spelling it!)<\/p>\n


\nThe other way would have been the Penang bridge.<\/p>\n


\nHere’s a 100% crop from the beercan!<\/p>\n


\nSunset.<\/p>\n


\nSafety.<\/p>\n


\nThis is absolutely why you must bring a light telephoto to the beach. Not sure if Waifon took this…<\/p>\n


\n…and\/or this.<\/p>\n


\nYou must absolutely also bring suntan lotion even if you are as fair as I am. Got a nice sunburn and a good lesson from that!<\/p>\n


\nYou can bank on that.<\/p>\n


\nI got on the RapidPenang! Not as hard as I thought as the buses seemed quite regular.<\/p>\n


\nWent down to Komtar, and took this bus back since it was there and happened to service the same route. The last time I got in a bus that looked that rickety was in Klang!<\/p>\n


\nWatchman. (Watchmen was an excellent movie!)<\/p>\n
