Day Trip to Sungai Congkak Recreational Park

A group of us went to Sungai Congkak last Friday. It was a public holiday in case you were wondering why we didn't have to work:D

Sungai Congkak is only like 35km from Mid Valley city and takes around 45 minutes to get to. Check out this google map for direction/location.

All landscape shots were taken with a Canon 40D and Tamron 17-50mm on tripod. All macro images were taken with a Canon 40D, Canon MP-E65 1X-5X Macro Lens and Canon MT-24EX Twin Flash.

Although we left town at 7:30am, by the time we got there, the sun was already too high and harsh for any decent slow shutter waterfall shots :(. Lots of irrecoverable blown highlights. The only way to avoid it was to just shoot the water and rocks and avoid the land altogether. Only managed a couple of boring shots before i decided to switch to macro mode :D
