Photography Composition - Leading Lines
The line that leads your eye in to the picture area easily like a road or fence, a shoreline or river, a row of trees or a pathway. A successful Leading Line will lead your eye in to the picture and take it right to the Main Subject or Center of Interest
An UN-Successful Leading Line will take the eye in to the picture but will ZOOM the eye right OUT of the picture if there is no Stopper to hold the eye in the picture frame; such as a tree, house or other large object on the right hand side of the picture frame which will STOP the eye from going out of the picture. The
The best Leading Lines will start at the Lower Left area of the picture frame but not in the exact corner. Again, the eye likes to enter a picture frame at this point and the Leading Line will help it get in to the picture easily and swiftly.

HDR | Bukit Tinggi, Pahang
Bukit Tinggi is just over an hour's drive from Kuala Lumpur City centre and lies some 2,500 feet above sea level.
Colmar Tropicale, located in Bukit Tinggi, Pahang, is a replica of a collection of buildings from a north-eastern village in France dating back to the 16th Century. It's just like a picture postcard. The French themed resort was opened in July 2000. It's surrounded by lush tropical forest land. Just RM 16 for adults and RM 8 for children below twelve, you can enjoy the various entertainment at Colmar Tropicale. A clock tower at the entrance welcomes the visitors. You need to walk up (and down) curvy concrete staircases to view the entire development.
The theme hotel is made up of eight blocks of architectural wonder, each with its unique style, from its colourful roof tiles to cobblestone ground. The hotel has several outlets, where you can dine in the French way. Central to the village is Colmar Square where the aroma of the blooms will tantalise your senses. There are fountains and park benches in the square for relaxation after a hard day's work browsing in the 17 theme shops, or should one wish to take a breather from participating in the various activities. The drawbridge reminiscent of ancient castles, clock tower with an original cuckoo bird clock, and the viewing tower complements the ambience.
Live bands and snake performances entertain the visitors on a stage. A clown juggles balls and pins, rides on his cycle, hops around playing tricks and acting merry. Authentic French food is served from sidewalk cafes and restaurants. The tables are placed strategically around the square so you can enjoy a meal or glass of wine whilst taking in the ambience.

HDR | Pejabat Pos Kelana Jaya
Sejarah Pos Malaysia bermula seawal tahun 1800-an dengan penubuhan perkhidmatan pos yang pertama di Negeri-negeri Selat (Pulau Pinang, Melaka dan Singapura) dan menjelang awal kurun ke-20, perkhidmatan pos meliputi seluruh Malaya.
Surat-surat kemudian disampaikan melalui penghantar surat atau utusan khas. Berbanding setem pos berbayar, bayaran perkhidmatan dikutip apabila surat-surat dihantar ke pejabat pos. Resit akan diberikan bagi surat-surat yang dipos.
Bagaimanapun sistem ini berubah apabila setem-setem India mempunyai cetakan mahkota dan setem-setem Selat cetakan dolar dan sen diperkenalkan pada 1867. Setem-setem pos berbayar pertama telah diperkenalkan pada 1901.
Bermula sebagai satu saluran penghantaran surat, dokumen surat khabar dan perniagaan, perkhidmatan pos kemudiannya berkembang menjadi pembekal perkhidmatan yang berganda. Ia mula menceburi ke dalam perkhidmatan penghantaran bungkusan, pendaftaran, insurans, urusniaga wang (Wang Pos dan Kiriman Pos) serta pelaburan dana (Simpanan Bank Pejabat Pos).
Perkhidmatan pos yang ketika itu dikenali sebagai Jabatan Perkhidmatan Pos, juga mula mengambil alih pelbagai perkhidmatan bagi pihak agensi-agensi kerajaan. Ia dimulakan dengan mengutip bayaran bil elektrik, jualan lesen anjing, bayaran pencen, jualan lesen televisyen dan sebagainya.
Setelah mencapai kemerdekaan pada 1957, Malaysia memulakan penyertaan secara aktif di dalam pertubuhan antarabangsa agar seiring dengan pembangunan sosial dan ekonomi. Antara lain, ia menjadi ahli Kesatuan Pos Sejagat (UPU) pada 17 Januari 1958, satu penyertaan di mana Malaysia menjadi ahli yang dinamik sehingga ke hari ini.
Setelah negara melangkah ke abad 21, perkhidmatan pos di Malaysia yang lebih dikenali sebagai Pos Malaysia Berhad terus berusaha untuk memenuhi permintaan dan keperluan pasaran dan tingkahlaku pelanggan yang sering berubah.
Awal tahun 1992, Pos Malaysia Berhad telah mencipta sejarah dengan membuat perubahan besar sejajar dengan kebebasan perniagaan. Dengan kebebasan, muncul pula satu cabaran yang lebih hebat. Berdepan dengan persaingan yang kompetitif, Pos Malaysia Berhad memulakan perjalanannya dengan mengukuhkan operasinya melalui pengasingan perniagaan yang terdiri daripada empat unit utama Perniagaan Strategik yang dinamakan PosMel, PosLaju, PosNiaga dan PosLogistik.
