Photogroup Team
Alex Foong - Coordinator
Alex SC Foong has been leading the MNS Selangor Branch Photo Group for many years as its Co-ordinator. He thanks the committee for giving him the support to lead the group till today.
He started photography since his school days with a simple Fuji SLR camera with a standard 50mm lens. Later during his early working years, he went into weddings shoot to earn some pocket money to supplement his hobby. Those days during the films era, we take time to compose before we press the shutter and with pressing the shutter means getting a “bull eye” because you only have 38 shots in a roll of films or some of my friends says “if you don’t see the “$” sign you don’t shoot”.
That's era has passed and technology has advanced tremendously today both with cameras and lenses. The instant results you can see in the computer (when hooked-on) knowing its good or bad. This is especially good when you are in an expedition when there might not be a second chance to doing a reshoot.
Today he is more into Landscape and Nature Photography, trekking into places to capture scene where not many people has seen those images in fine art print. He still leads members to serene natural pristine places to capture the beauty of what nature has to offer.
Some advice on equipment's, use what you have now and “perfect your photography” before jumping to the next level on camera equipment's. You are the artist and the camera and lenses are the paint and brushes. You will not understand photography until you print out your images.

Hello! what have I to say about myself…
Firstly, i have been retired since 2018. My reason to do so was to focus on my health.
To keep me active, i have joined this NGO to help our where ever i could in their conservation efforts. And streamlining my part, i took up photography.
Photographing Nature is and continue to be an amazing journey. Friends within this group has helped me sharpen my skills and i hope to be able to sell some of my work to fund this expensive hobby.
Do enjoy my work which will be posted here occasionally.
Yong Pei Leng @ Reiko
Reiko being in the stressful financial domain, took up photography as a means to relax and explore her creativity through Malaysia Nature Society Photogroup. Her love for nature and travel got her to places where most would dream of and with amazing photographic opportunities. Now being one of the most active member in the group has given her the opportunity to be part of the talented Photogroup Committee. She has been fortunate to be around some amazing talented photographers where she was able to broaden her skills and get involve in many different genre of the Photographic world.

Getting my first DSLR in 2010 was just a tool for a means of escapism from a tough transition in working career and life in general. But I quickly fell in love with the idea of seeking and sharing the wonders around the place we live in. AND now there was no turning back for me.

I love landscapes photography involving trees, mountains, sea and rivers. It is interesting to capture the feeling on location and bring out the experience in the photographs. The views could be expansive and painted with many colours of nature.
Due to nature of my work as a Civil Engineer, there are opportunities to capture photographs of bridges and building structures, during or after construction. Structural forms besides functioning as supports could look interesting and aesthetically pleasing.
Recently, I have taken an interest in macro photography, where I find beauty in the small fellas – plants and insects.
