Kuala Lumpur, December 2012.

I recently got my Yashica Mat-124G repaired, as it was having some really serious lens flare problems. I always knew that the Yashica can produce some truly outstanding images, but it frustrates me that my camera hasn't been able to deliver its capabilities. So when I was down at Hobart last weekend, I asked my friend Karl to take out the lens assembly and give it a good clean, and now the lens is as good as new! Thus it is only responsible for me to bring this beauty out to shoot and fully reach its potential, after it has been crippled from many long years of fogged lens and poor image quality resulting from it.

My shoot today reminded me of the peculiarities of operating a TLR, for instance the left-right inverted viewfinder and position of the shutter speed & aperture knobs. Keep in mind that I was shooting at a rocky coast during sunset (which means I'm time-restricted and had to rush a little), and shooting alongside my Bronica too. I must confess that I haven't been using my cameras enough to be familiar with them. During my shoot today, there was this transient moment when my mind went completely blank and I was stunned. It happened when I switched from the Bronica to my Yashica, I wanted to check the settings, framing and focus and change them, but my mind just went blank and didn't know where to continue or what to do next. It probably lasted for a good 2, 3 seconds, which my mind snapped back and told me settings on top of viewing lens, changed via the two knobs between the lenses; frame with the groundglass on top and focus with your left hand.

Well, guess that I really have to set myself to spend time with only one camera for an extensive period of time before getting myself familiar with other cameras...

Currently at Hobart enjoying myself. I'm glad that my Yashica Mat-124G is finally repaired! Now the lens looks clean and beautiful, I've loaded a roll of Fuji Pro 160 into it and shot a few shots. Can't wait to see the results!

I'm heading towards Cradle Mountain again, for the 4th time in my life. Hope the weather will be dramatic! The weather forecast says fog in the morning and rain in the evening.. sounds like a great black and white landscape shootout to me! Fingers crossed.

Due to the unbearable heat, we quickly went into Ochado and chilled-out for more than an hour, chatting and enjoying the air-cond. Yes, Malaysians can't live without air cooling.

2012 Malacca. 1

One day trip to Malacca with my girlfriend. The sun was fiery hot, I literally drenched my shirt... And that is the typical Malaysian sunny day. There were many tourists too, a familiar sight here ever since it was listed as a UNESCO world heritage site.
