Tyler Stableford - Adventure Photographer


Tyler Stableford was in Malaysia today to present a seminar as part of the Canon's EOS Master Craftsmen Southeast Asia Tour 2012. His presentation was very inspiring and showed Tyler's skills in both photography and cinema-photography in a number of adventurous situations. Much of this recent work was shot with the new Canon EOS 1D X and 5D Mk III cameras and used the latest wireless Speedlight 600 EX-RT flash units with the ST-E3-RT transmitter. These situations also displayed the durability and ruggedness of the Canon equipment which was used in some severe weather situations and arduous environments. As well as displaying his work he presented a live shooting demo with one of Malaysia's national cycle team highlighting his approach to making a shoot and using an array of Canon Speedlight 600 EX-RT flash units to enhance the lighting of the shot.

St. George's Church, Georgetown, Penang - The Oldest Anglican Church in SouthEast Asia


St. George's Church is the oldest Anglican church in Southeast Asia. Planning for the church began in 1817 and was completed the following year using convict labor during Bannerman's term as British Governor of Penang. The first marriage at the church took place in 1818 when W. E. Phillips married Janet Bannerman, the daughter of Colonel J. A. Bannerman. The roof of the church was originally flat, but was changed to a pitched roof in 1864. The building was heavily looted during World War II but restored later. On the grounds north of the church is a Greek-style temple dedicated to Francis Light, the British founder of Georgetown.
