Hottest Summer!! (and crazy weather…)

I’ve felt how cold winter is. I’ve also thought that the Philippines has the worst summer season…but last weekend, Malaysia’s hot summer proved me wrong.

I was sadly confined in Malaysia over the Holy Week and have to force myself to watch the F1 Malaysian GP over at Sepang International Circuit. I spent some 30 minutes under the burning sun to take closer shots of the race…and now I have sunburns! Argh!

Other than it’s prickly heat, Malaysia also has a crazy weather where it would suddenly rain in the afternoon after a hot clear sky. For the last five days it has been like that. Now I’m having a slight headache and fever from all this unpredictable rain.

Finally, I was able to post select photos from my shoot on last weekend’s race. Here are my takes - here, and here. It’s my first try of high speed motorsports and having only a Sigma 70-300mm f/4-5.6 APO DG lens, I’m quite glad I took some great shots. I particularly learned the skill of panning on that 3-day race weekend.
