Penang Hill Hiking: Fox Hill - White Buddha - Mon Sejour route

Описание: I would rate this route as suitable for beginners, as it's not too challenging along the trail. Mostly, you'll spend more time walking on the tar road.

The White Buddha in the middle of the hill is really something unique to me. There's a temple, which I think is one of those Hindu-Buddhist temples, on the hill.

If there's no haze or fog, the view is really epic and awesome.

If you're really scared of the heat, I would suggest departing for the hike as early as possible, or else you might need to bring an umbrella.

Hopefully, the reconstruction of the white bungalow will finish soon; definitely, the owner is already doing some renovation and repainting.​

===========================

Camera: Panasonic Lumix GH5
Lens: Voigtländer 17.5mm F0.95
Profile: Vlog-L
Lut: Emotive Color - GHAlex Daylight

Camera Mic: Rode VideoMicro
Voiceover mic: Zoom H1

The reason I didn't do 'vlogging' by talking to the camera is that the 17.5mm focal length is a bit tight when holding the camera with my extended hand.

Not to forget, the hiking group has its own pace, meaning I cannot keep waiting and shooting something along the way.

Ideally, I would hike alone and shoot whatever I want. Rushing will cause many epic scenes to be missed.

Besides, since I'm using a fully manual lens, my brain needs to constantly make decisions, adjusting the shutter angle and aperture as quickly as possible.
