Kampung Hakka Mantin – Part 1

Kampung Hakka is located directly opposite the church I first photographed in 2003. And thus began a new, unplanned, documentary series photographed exclusively with the Asus Zenfone. Along the way, I’ll also discuss the merits and challenges of using a phone camera solely for such a task.

Seeing Stars During Nightfall At Santa Factory

At the tail end of the evening, one can see the sky getting darker. For better contrasting colours, start capturing earlier. See previous pics for comparison. The advantage of a darker sky is the possibility of seeing stars. As with any small sensor camera, don’t let the ISO ride too high or noise will start to creep in.

Where Is Santa Factory Or Tempat Country Club In Bandar Sri Sendayan?

Didn’t help that I saw a prominent parking space sign reserving VIP space for the Selangor MB at the front of the lobby. Also I went through a confusing network of roads from Mantin to Nilai and beyond. It is actually near Port Dickson. Here is the MyCen Map link to help other noobs get there:

No wonder it felt so far.

I Saw Mommy Doing A Selfie Underneath The Mistletoe Last Night

I saw a random family posing for selfies last night. Pity the crowd was quite sparse as not many know about this place and its attractions currently. The theme will run until 31st December. There is fireworks scheduled for 8:55 pm tomorrow 17th December at Santa Factory. Subject to fair weather, of course.
