Solar Eclipse 2019...

Solar eclipse is a rare occurrence and this time after 21 years it happens above the sky of Malaysia. It was mid day and cloudy but the sun could be seen behind the clouds and the eclipse was happening. With the old technology camera it would be difficult to take a shot of the solar eclipse as it was not possible to simply point the camera and shoot at the sun, it intense brightness would affect the eyes. Now with new technology shooting the sun is easy. I am using the Mirrorless camera where there is a touch viewing screen to monitor the images. I could see the images of the eclipse on the camera viewing screen and to take the picture I had only to touch the touchscreen to snap the sun. I took many shots and managed to get a good shot of the eclipse at 1.13 pm today December 26,2019. The camera I am using is the Canon EOS M 5 - on Auto using the configuration of 1/4000 sec. f/20 200 mm - ISO 100. Above is the best of the images of the eclipse that I got today.and sharing it here for everyone to see and enjoy, Perhaps a once in a lifetime experience.

And below is another shot of the Solar eclipse taken at 1.17 pm -[1/3200 sec. f/16 200 mm. - ISO 100]. It an almost complete eclipse..

Have a nice day.

Ikan Singgang....

Ikan Singgang is one traditional Malay dish that is simple to do. Yet it is not only delicious but nutritious as well. Its one dish that you can find in the Malay world, perhaps call by other names, nevertheless it is still Ikan Singgang. It is the creation of our ancestors where fish have always been their main protein source; sort of the wisdom of the old. A wise creation indeed and because of it we still kept enjoying it I have always love Ikan Singgang especially when Ikan Aya [Tuna fish] is use but it always taste as good even with other fish like Tenggiri or Kerisi. When making this simple dish one herb/spice that is a must is Lengkuas [Galangal] for without it the Singgang is not complete. The above image of Ikan Singgang is made with Ikan Tenggiri. Delicious as usual. Taken with steamy white rice and Budu [Anchovies sauce] or Sambal Belacan [Shrimp sauce] it is heaven already. I posted that image on Facebook and below are two informative comments made there by two of

The Sunrise at Teluk Cempedak...

We were in Kuantan for a short holiday. As usual I always take the time to watch the sunrise at Teluk Cempedak; a beach that I call my own. I grew up playing on that sandy beach from the age of seven years old and I felt in love with the sea. So going to that beach is a ritual that I never missed to do whenever I am in Kuantan. Early that Saturday morning of September 3, 2016 I woke early and with my nephew driving we left for the beach at around 6.30am. According to the data I had the sun would rise at Teluk Cempedak at 7.01am that morning. When we arrived at the beach there were already others there waiting for the sun to rise. I had brought my latest camera the Canon EOS M10 with me. It is a Mirrorless camera, the new new generation of the DSLR. It is much smaller than the DSLR and have interchangeable lens. As soon as I got there I walk along the beach and enjoy the freshness of the morning air. Yonder at the horizon I could see some light as the the sun makes it
