Experiencing nature

[ http://jihying.com/photos/frim/ ]

Ozzy was interested to test his DSLR out at FRIM in Kepong. Hence, together with Johanna we made our trip there last Saturday morning.

I have always wanted to bring Johanna. But alas, it's one of those "one day, we'll go to..." kind of plan.

Bringing our cameras along, we went to pick up Ozzy from his home first before proceeding to FRIM in Kepong.

After parking the car, we started our journey to the canopy walk. Along the way, we looked out for interesting subjects to shoot. I was expecting some flowers, but sigh, none in sight throughout the first half of the journey. I love shooting flowers ever since the trip to Orchid Garden in KL.

We reached the canopy walk around noon time. There was a group of students lining up for it. Hence we took the opportunity to rest for a while and took more photos.

From the canopy walk we were able to see KL city from afar, something to cherish after two hours of ascend.

On our way down, we chanced upon a waterfall. I was too lazy to set up tripod to take some shots of smooth flowing water. By that time all three of us were very thirsty. None of us brought water with us. Hence we trekked our way back quickly. On the way both Ozzy and me managed to shoot a dragonfly, a spider, some butterflies, and finally, some flowers.

Seeing the food court was like discovering the oasis in the middle of the desert. We quickly pamper ourselves with cans of drinks, all the fatigue from the 4-hour trekking quickly forgotten.

The sad part of the trip is: I found out at night that half of the photos were taken in 640 x 480 resolution! I must have accidentally changed the resolution while trying to shoot a big rock from ground level. Sigh. What a disappoinment especially for the dragonfly shots.
