This is the beautiful Pulau Tioman before the development and commercialisation (1987). I had never seen clearer or cleaner sea water until then. It was cleaner than the PJ swimming pool that I go to.
My only regret at Tioman was missing some great shots at Tioman because I ran out of film on the boat.

These photographs were taken with a Ricoh SLR. Lens used were 50mm and more often 35-210mm zoom. A 2x teleconverter was also used in some. The macro photographs were taken with a homemade extension bellows incorporating the 50mm lens. Some (landscapes) were taken with a polariser filter. Night shots (long exposure) were taken with the help of a cable release. They were all prints, and Kodak paper prints were the best because the colour remained true till today! My first choice for film is Kodak, although I am not too particular and had used all brands (Fuji, Agfa, Konica). I scanned these prints with a Canon scanner and touched-up with PaintShopPro4.

THANK YOU.
