In other words, just maybe I can make another photographers life just a little bit easier in becoming a better shooter than I. In that, I just spent 24 hours on the Island of Langkawi of Malaysia, that without a doubt, is one of the most incredible island/locations for picture taking I have ever seen in all my years. My visit was to check out the "Shooting" venue, as in competition with weapons for the upcoming Commonwealth Games. It took about an hour for my main roll and the rest of the time I went around wishing I had nothing else to do with my life, but spend the rest of it taking pictures of this magnificent location. I managed about 6 rolls during a few hours of free time and if I had an 8 hour shooting day it would have been ten times that! :) The images just kept appearing each time I looked in a different direction, absolutely amazing. People, scenes, fishermen, old and new buildings to incredible azure blue water, skies with white and black sand beaches beyond ones imagination! Oh well I can always come back another time.:) ted ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
