Photography (IG @vincentkhor7)
- During MCO 3.0 in June 2021, I have decided to add another category "Photography" to this blog with compilations of photos shot by me. But the main photo gallery is still on Instagram @vincentkhor7
- Bought a used / pre-owned ultra wide lens Fujinon XF10-24mm in March 2021 to pair with Fujifilm X-T200 camera.
- Decided to explore more about photography and bought a mirrorless camera Fujifilm X-T200 with XC15-45mm kit lens in November 2020. Due to Covid-19 pandemic and travel ban, I've started to walk the streets in Kuala Lumpur to explore more about my own city like a tourist. The photo walks in KL have opened up my mind that Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia have so many places and hidden spots that I haven't even been as Malaysian. Over the past 10 over years, I believe I have seen more of Japan, Thailand, Indonesia, Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, etc than my very own city Kuala Lumpur and birth place Malaysia. I believe it's time to start seeing more of Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia through my camera lens. Hence, my instagram has started to have content about Kuala Lumpur and Malaysia.
- Bought iPhone 8 in February 2018 for the sole purpose of taking nice travel photos in Japan and running photos at Tokyo Marathon. That was when I started to learn more about photography shooting from my iPhone 8. I also started to post more on Instagram @vincentkhor7 but mainly overseas travel photos.
