Borneo (Sabah)

Hi, I have one month on Borneo, mainly in Sabah, maybe Sarawak. Does anybody have any recommendation for landscape jungle shooting ? Is medium sized film avaiable to buy in Kota Kinabalu ? Many thanks for answers.

Good light.

Climb Mt. Kinabalu. I worked in Malasia for six-months. I didn't climb it, but a collegue did.

Hi Radim,<p>I travelled to Sabah in January; without wanting to sound flippant, there is plenty of jungle in this part of the world so travel to any of the reserved areas would secure access to "jungle". <br>Depending upon how long you're planning to stay I'd recommend visiting the Kinabulu Park/Poring as there is lowland rainforest, cloud forest and the montane forest (think this is the correct name) all within close proximity. Mount Kinabalu is a very strenuous hike to the top....some excellent shots are to be had if you're lucky and there's no cloud cover when you're at the top....I wasn't.<br>Some of my stuff is<a href="http://www.pbase.com/ipenning/gallery/malaysia"> here</a>.<br>I can't be much help with the medium format film - there's at least one specialist camera shop in KK, but I never ventured in. I would recommend ISO800 film if you're taking shots of wild animals; the orangutan reserve at Sepilok is rather touristy. Feel free to ask some more Q's!

Yes, Malaysia is a fantastic place, great places to visit, nice wildlife and freindly people.

 

Have a look at some of my photo's :)
