My Visit to Kuching

When I first checked into a room at the 8th floor facing the water front, I couldn't see the Kuching River. The place was dark with the exception of some rows of lights. Anyway, ...
... this is the result of a hand held shot. I tried using low speed, low ISO but my hand is simply not capable to freeze a camera for 3-6 seconds. With long exposure, the pictures mostly came out slightly blurred.
When day broke, I saw the Kuching river full of activities.
We met friends in Kuching ... Pearly, Victor and Jasmine. They are from my cell group in Miri before moving to Kuching.
I met Aileen and David Teo of ST & T of Kuching. They are now a husband and wife team in Kuching doing logistic for Dell, sell some hardware, providing services, etc. I am happy to meet David again as I "lost" him for almost 20 years! I used to share a flat in Singapore with David in 1980.
David & Aileen are obviously a good employers. They celebrated birthday for his staff. I also noticed that his staff stay on with them for a long time. I wish them success and much blessing to all my friends in Kuching.

Good luck with David's and Aileen's business - low staff turnover is the sign of good employers =]

William, I have the same problem taking those 'slow' night shots with my camera (though I haven't used it for a while). No matter how still I think I hold the camera, it'll blur the shot!

Fox: Thanks. For your camera, you must use a tripod to take night picture.Otherwise they will be blur.

And it seems like everything must be still.

Fox: Only your camera must be still. A tiny movement will cause a huge shift on the subject. That is why you must use tripod or a stable top.
