The trek was darn tiring at first. haha. the 1st leg of the hike punctured me due to the ongoing hike up the stairs without warming up. but after that it was not too bad. But yet, I wouldn't say that it was easy. Goes to show I need more exercise for any other such treks. (Bukit Tabur anyone? ) Dashken: Edit using Photoshop... hahaha
LMAO.... well, getting the composition right is the #1 rule. Never think of using cropping to get the frame right. Always try to get it right the 1st time. Try to use the rule of thirds as much as you can to help in the composition. In such a sunny day, it's also very important to get the exposure right. Play around with the settings and check using the histogram. make sure it's more to underexposed than overexposed. (more to mids or lows) That way, you can always save your shots if the exposure runs off a bit here and there. The main thing to remember here is to identify your subject for the shot and make sure that subject is perfectly exposed. Lastly, don't save up on storage space and shoot as much as you can. And shoot RAW...
Ooops.. hehe.. forgot to tell you about the endless steps in the beginning, that has no landing till you reach the peak, literally
