The Wedding Potraiture by Ian Ahmad

A Malay couple been potrait in their wedding day at Banchang, Melaka. This shots was taken using only my kit lens and a cap ayam flash trigger. Chap Ayam pun boleh maaa buat ini macam punya effect, the most important thing is we have to get more creative and use what ever you have to develop our own skills and technique.

Conflictingly Harmonious

Although well-known as a model for a developing Muslim Country, Malaysia allows the followers of other religious beliefs to freely practice their religion. Even though there may be conflicts to the teachings of Islam, the "conflicts" are widely accepted as the way of life in Malaysia.

Harmoniously in conflict...or conflictingly harmonious.

This photo is a sample of the title, a Muslim lady in the middle of the crowd waiting patiently for the official launch of the Anya Hindmarch Boutique in 2007. She is the only one clad in jilbab (proper head gear covering the "aurah" of a Muslim woman).....

.....another scene, two Muslims having a chat while a few feet away beers are being consumed openly in public.



Alcoholic drinks are not allowed to be consumed by Muslims but may not be the case for other religions in Malaysia.

The sense of tolerance and great desire to live in harmony may the the underlying factor that makes this scene a norm in this country.....we have made through 2007, since 1957......and we sure hope 2008 will be better than ever...so, as Muslims, we'll say - insyaAllah!

in conjunction with the theme, "CHAP AYAM PUN BOLEH MAAAAA!!!", here's a picture i took about 2 years back on a trip to australia.

this was taken using my good ol' Olympus u-miniD,Stylus V that i could easily slip into my pockets. sometimes i do miss the days when everything was much simpler, e.g. no heavy equipment to lug around "just in case" something interesting needs to be photographed.

gone are the good ol' days. hah!

in response to 9's posting

Impossible is Nothing, originally uploaded by nadi0.

i love the pic 9 posted! so sharp and the colors in the background made it look like the monkeys were in a middle of a party. haha..

and i love them silverleaf monkeys. they're so tame and polite! very hard to photograph due to their dark faces, so in this one, i fired my flash a teeny bit to render the sky blue with its face adequately exposed.

this was a shot i took way back in May, when the weather was mostly beautiful. recent visit a week ago didn't result in very interesting shots. boohoo..

ok la..orang letak gambar monyet..aku nak letak gambar monyet gak. sebok tak. hahaha

have a great weekend!
-over and out-

Assalamualaikum..
Hello Ayamers..this is my firts post in here. Thanks to Mr. The Torque for inviting me join this community. And to the other Ayamers, salam perkenalan.

Surrounding by the Japanese environment, everyday write, read, communicates, hear bla bla with Kanji's, Hiragana's, Katakana's and all the 'belit-belit'Japanese characters..make my English getting worst and worst day by day. Living in the Japanese Kampung, there is no chances for me practising my English with kampung people. Please forgive me for my poor English, and hoping you guys would help me improving my English by using this platform.

Above picture was taken on last spring season at Yunotsu Fishery Port. Nothing much special in here..but, in Jun 2007, they became to be a special place when their name was listed in the Unesco World Herritage Centre.

Hello... My name is Spiderman.. and I'm your friendly neighbourhood friend. I'm a photojournalist too. I work at the Daily Boogle. Unfortunately I don't have a wife name Mary Jane. Ok, enough of me.! This is a place for photogs to show their photos. Maybe from next week onwards, we will try to come up with a weekly TOPIC for photographers to `fight' for the `PHOTO of THE WEEK'. So, guys and gals, ChAPs... get ready to `fight'!!!...

These baby turtles are adorable

and so is Torque. (puas hati torque?)

these are 2-day old baby turtles that i went to visit at Perhentian a couple of months ago.

aren't they lovely? the experience was priceless.

then somebody suggested that i send this shot to NGM.com, it got selected as a daily dozen, and now it's up somewhere in the massive website, waiting to be downloaded as a wallpaper.

The Penambang

"Penambang" - small boat used by the Kuching locals to commute from the riverbanks of their village to the city centre's Waterfront.

This shot was done on my D70s on cloudy WB, ISO400 @ 1/320 f/5.6. Taking into account some details - the direction of the wind, waves and reflection on the water, the ripples and position of the main subject in the frame.

Probably one of my best shot ever done so far...more to come insyaAllah...

Go ahead...kasi "panggang"!
