Spent the weekend with my beloved family at Cameron Highlands,Pahang,Malaysia. And the only lens i bring along for this trip was only the little prime,50mm. Its good to travel light when you have babies to take care, but sometimes you really wish to have a wider range when it comes to a great scenery right in front of you or at a tight space.
Hope you guys like it 🙂

Fantastic long shots. Thanks for sharing Nonoy Manga
Those are some really stunning pictures! I never knew Malaysia was so beautiful! I love B&W. I actually have painted a few pictures in black and white. It’s a lot easier because the paints are easier to clean.
BREATHTAKING landscapes and detail shots — amazing work! 🙂
Super original pics!
Quite the feat in this day and age!
i’m so excited that a post on malaysia by a malaysian got freshly pressed! congrats. your photos sure make my home look very appealing.
My favorite is your photo of the sky, so nice 🙂
Your photographs are beautiful 🙂
Woooow, Love the pictures. I love the clouds one the best! Thanks for sharing. Keep up the good work! 🙂
amazing work !! very touching, thank you
Fantastic images!
Love the contrast of the black and white image … Brings a little something extra to the image
Interesting photos, are they HDRs?
Nope,its not HDR,single output and processed in lightroom with basic & curve adjustments only 🙂
Really good photos, they really do stand out! I used to study in Malaysia and enjoyed a trip to that part of the country, your blog has really made me miss the place!
WOW… great photos!
I love it, touching. Thank you!
The photos in black and white are very interesting, especially the sky photo….It’s very eerie. Connie

I used to come to the Cameron Highlands when I was a kid. What beautiful photos – you’ve really captured the magic!
Charming pictures. That sky one is fabulous. I think it’s good to restrict yourself sometimes – I love my 50mm lens.
Love the long shots but the wood is special. Nice work.
Magnificent. The shots are truly beautiful – all of them. It’s almost like you can touch the texture, which is a great feat!
Love the B&W tone here
Greetings from SG 😀 breathtaking photos!
I’m a massive fan of black and white art work and greyscale/monochromatic photography, this blog post was a God send! I absolutely, categorically LOVE IT!
What you did with that one simple lens is breath-taking. Everything is so rich in detail and texture, so much is going on in each picture. I could look at these for hours.
Great blog, love the photography 🙂 Looking forward to reading more!
One word: LOVE!
The lens made them look almost like paintings. Very cool.
You have a beautiful country. On my last visit there, I spent time at a gambling resort north of Kuala Lampur. Your pictures, although BW are
Reblogged this on MyDestiny2011 and commented:
Nice Black & White Photos!!
Amazing.
I like black and white pics. Thanks for sharing.
Nice black and white- thanks for sharing! The textures and patterns are great.
Why not in colour?
Its just personal preference on the output style 🙂 Hope you like it !
The first picture is outstanding, but is it really in Cameron Highlands?
Yup,that is Brinchang, one of the main town at Cameron Highlands 🙂
Beautiful! I just went to Malaysia last week but didn’t get a chance to visit Cameron Highlands 😦 Maybe next time!
So sad,leave me a message next time so i can get some local friends to tour you around 🙂
Sounds great! 🙂
Thank-you so much for sharing these photos of Malaysia, they are fantastic!
is my hometown!!! nice shoot buddy!
Haha,and those photos are right from your apartments!
Thanks for all the likes, it seriously meant a lot to me 🙂
Nice shots indeed.
Why don’t you post something in colour?
Thanks ! I’ll be doing it soon 🙂
nice.. even if its b/w you still captured the details on every photograph.. my favorites are photos of the hills, are those tea plants?
Thanks ! 🙂
Yup,those are tea plants,one of the best tea produce in Malaysia namely ‘ Boh ‘ .
Awesome shots. Do share colour versions as well if possible.
Just love the B&W tone on them great work. The 3rd and 4th shot are great
Interesting choice to go B&W, but I think it’s a nice touch though. I love the Cameron Highlands, it’s such an awesome place!
I love these pictures, gives a new perspective to Cameron Highlands….
just WOWOWOW
Beautiful! Truly wonderful! Thank you for sharing.
Nevertheless, these shots are amazing–I generally prefer color but the B&W brings out all those textures. Are any of these stitched together?
Thanks for the like!
Nope,its all single raw output and processed in lightroom only.
Fantastic stuff. It’s great to know these effects can be achieved with one lense, post-processing or no.
Interesting choice to go B&W,
Best Tea in the world!
Beautiful! You really have an eye for photography. Loved the post. Might be going to Malaysia this July but I don’t know if I’ll get to visit the Cameron Highlands
Anyway, congratulations for being on Freshly Pressed!
Welcome to Malaysia! It will be great if you can make a visit there, just drop me a message if you need some friend to tour you around or help you out with the accommodation 🙂
Thanks ya ! 🙂 It really meant a lot to me.
That’d be great :). Thanks so much for your suggestion. If I will be going, I’ll drop you a message :). I’m sure you know all the best places to visit there!
Thanks 😀
Haha,you’re very welcome. Keep in touch and take care 🙂
What beautiful pictures of such a beautiful place! Cant wait to travel here sometime soon 🙂
I absolutely love your photos they are quite stunning and an inspiration to go out and take more photos myself of where I’m living!
Splendid images, Patrick! Having just returned from the Munnar Tea fields in India, I’m inspired to share my photographs, thanks to you.
Well done!
I absolutely love your photographs, they are inspiring! Your contrasts are perfect!
Haha so I’ve commented twice…fluke of the computer but I seriously do love your photos.
Making Malaysia proud by being “pressed”. Always love a getaway at those hills and strawberry farms. Great work Patrick!
OOH my god!!! your pictures are amazing!! i have been to cameron highlands before, and it was magical, if i could i would live there… 🙂
Magnificent pics-Truly awesome
Amazing photos. Plus I have always loved Malaysia. I have to go back there sometime. Thanks for sharing!
wow mooi!
iiiiiiiiiincredible! Going to be traveling to Malaysia sometime in the next year, and now I know what part of my itinerary will be.
These are amazing shots! I’ve never been to Malaysia, but I recently read and reviewed Tan Twan Eng’s “Garden of Evening Mists” which is set in Malaysia, and most of it in the Cameron Highlands. After seeing your photos I REALLY want to got there now.
I have a very scary memory of this place. IN about 1976 I was on holiday with a friend & were asked out by some locals. We were taken to the golf club house and given a meal and some very strong alcoholic beer. We got a bit freaked by it – seemed we were not really meant to be there so asked to go back to our hotel. We hitched a lift on a truck that had some boxes under a tarpaulin. As we sped along i asked what they were. We were told guerillas. We were too scared to sleep that night and couldn’t wait to get out of there.
So sorry to hear that, but that was 36 years ago,i guess during that time Cameron Highlands still kind of undeveloped yet,but its totally different now, i really wish you can drop by here again,and i’m sure it will definitely change your impression with this place 🙂
Patrick, what camera and lens manufacturer did you use to take these photos?
Patrick, what camera did you use to take these photographs? Really nice monochrome work by the way, you get a real sense of the jungle atmospherics. Was it a particularly humid period when you were shooting?
I used a Nikon D700 with nikon 50mm lens on it.
It was pretty misty out there and drizzling when the photo was taken.
Very effective photography. I like your all photographs. Thanks for sharing.
I miss steamboats 🙂
Haha,u know the good stuff there huh! =D
Remembered those days when I ventured with the school-mates to Cameron Highlands…a very long long ago. And still the beauty of it excited ’em all.
Great B&W — my favorite. Awesome.
Love it! The b&w brings out the scenery and works very well!
Fantastic pictures. I love the metallic look of them. Sometimees a 50mm is all you need.
gorgeous texture in the landscapes… amazing photos!
cool shots..
Great photos! I visited the Cameron Highlands in 2007 – it was the rolling hills of the tea plantations that wow’ed me! A beautiful view 🙂
Wow, these are shots filled with impact. 🙂
These pictures are amazing! You made Cameron Highlands look so much more appealing. Totally changes the usual perspective of the place.
I adore the one of the sky, it is just beautiful 🙂 Also the one of the logs is really striking it caught my eye as I was flicking through.
These are some amazing photos!
Nice. I’ve good memories from that place.
I really like your post, it was amazing experience for me to see your pictures…
Love your b/w, amazingly textured and with great depth & volume!
You take very nice pictures and you have a nice black and white techniques on your images. Hope you had a nice trip and a nice shooting experience. Have a nice day = o)
Astonoshing…
The pictures make me want to see this place with my own eyes.
i can say : the color of black & white.
very nice
Great post, and congratulations on your “fresh-pressed” accomplishment! That isn’t likely to happen for me, as I post video guitar licks/solos and songs with tablature. Once again, congrats!
We still fondly recall our trip to Malaysia, and our days in the Cameron Highlands–it looks little changed! I think we were at the Hoh Tea Co. and stayed in an odd remant of the British colonial era, Ye Old Smokehouse. Beautiful country, beautiful photos!
Beautiful photos!!!
