Photography workshop

Since getting my olympus Slr camera, this is the first time I had signed up to attend a photography workshop.It was organised by the olympus e-system malaysia.  I thought since I had my trusted Gps with me , one hour should be enough to find the place. I started my drive from klang at around 9.00am after having my breakfast and reached Mont Kiara with half an hour to spare or so I thought, but it directed me to a wrong location and meanwhile the time was catching up and it was past the 10.00 am and I still could not find the place. I had arrived at the residence area of Mont Kiara instead of the business center, I tried to call the office only to listen to their voice recording. It was an off day at Olympus, being a saturday. I almost felt like giving up and headed for home ,when I received a call from their office, and got the direction to their office. When I reached there, the meeting had already started. Soon it was lunch time and for our pratical we drove to the butterfly park to put into practice what we had learnt from the workshop. We were given about  one hour and 20 minutes to take our photos and we were to meet at the car park at the agreed time. We we finally reached the car park we found the gate was locked and the guard had gone home. The organiser sought the help from the staff at the butterfly park and a couple of phone calls were made and after half an hour it appeared no one  was coming to unlock the gate.So the instructed someone from their office to break the lock. Everyone was shouting for joy. Apparently we were not the only one who were locked out. There were other tourists and visitors as well  to the park, who had parked their cars at the same place where our cars were parked.

We met at the olympus again and each participant were to select at least two of their favourite photos for the lecturer to comment. I had pick up quite a bit from this workshop and I think this is money well spent and reasonally priced compared to those offered by other company .The fees is inclusive of a lunch, hand out and a free photography magazine worth Rm9.00.
Here are some of  the photographs taken . Hope you will enjoyed them, as much  as I enjoyed taking them.
