Having just returned from Borneo, I thought I'd record my thoughts about photography in one of the best places I've ever been to.
I'm going to start at the end, simply because I'm typing this during a six-hour wait at Kota Kinabalu airport using the iPhone and the only photos I have available are ones I've taken with it. (In fact, just looking at the options available to me on this site, I don't think I can upload from the phone anyway, so I'll just tease you and tell you what's coming soon).
So actually, this is Part Zero: Introduction. In subsequent posts, I'll write about the challenges of shooting in 90% humidity while carrying a 3-kilo camera kit, the most useful settings on an EOS 5D Mk II in jungle and low-light conditions, the advantage of having a wife with a 7D and how to be REALLY geeky with total strangers and by the end have them asking questions like "so what is this ISO setting business on my point-and-shoot camera?". I'll also share the "Black and White Borneo" photo project with you. Bet you can't wait...
There are photos of rare birds, monkeys, apes, elephants, insects, turtles, sunsets and sunrises, night photography, underwater films and more. I want to share the photos with you and give a bit of commentary as well. Hope you enjoy it as much as I/we did taking the shots while experiencing some amazing sights.
I fell in love with Borneo during the two weeks we were there and I hope that some of the pics (to follow, after spending hours and hours in Lightroom sorting them all out) convey that feeling.
