A Halo Afternoon
Hi guys! If you're new here, you should subscribe to my RSS feed. TQ for visiting! :)
WeiChuen brought me to Wisma Merdeka during lunch time to make my spec today, and everywhere we go, we heard everyone was saying about the ring around the sun outside, and how everybody is taking pics of it. So after everything was done, I dragged BF to the entrance near Hyatt hotel, and looked up. And this is what we all saw:
That’s a huge halo! But a cool one to look at (through the camera of course) nonetheless! Here’s a slightly bigger pic of the halo:
Cool phenomenon indeed. So did you guys took a pic of it too?

Nice one!
Nice! Vee just told me too. Don’t think we had it here though.
My phone didn’t stop ringing, heh heh. I guess KK could use the excitement!
I just posted about it too. I couldn’t see the whole thing though. My eyes sakit. Everyone else could. Hmph! Nice pics btw!
Oh yeah, email me yana’s address. I don’t think I know where her place is.. I’ll try to make it if Shemah belum terberanak lagi… Hehe..
We photographers have a rule of thumb and that’s “do not shoot anything that hurts your eyes.” The sun can damage the camera’s aperture blades and of course your retinas if you were shooting with a DSLR. If you Google this, you’ll find pages of discussions between people who say it can and those who deny such problems exist. Regardless of who may be right or wrong, I would err on the side of caution and not take such risks.
I came across one forum member who posted a link to a sample of sun-damaged camera. Warning: Not a pretty sight http://www.ryloth.nt-uploader.com/D50%20Fun/D50-4.jpg
Yeahh.. i saw it too.. and take some photo using my handphone… heheh
I was in Giant in Wawasan Plaza when my colleague rang up and asked me to check it out…we could still see the halo effect on our way back to the office though not as clear…
Insider info: It might be mentioned in TV3 tonight.
another “insider” info: I think that Malaysian space tourist must’ve been involved in this. He must’ve played batu seremban and somehow cocked it up.
Cantik moi, wish i was there to witness this..:(
‘Halo’! Everyone!
Maybe there are some ‘heroes’ being born in Sabah right now man….you know… the series?

i thought it was the russian rocket effect… who knows it made a wrong turn to the sun and xploded…
Nice shot nice shot JACQ.
I took a few too using my cheap camera.. right out of my garage! Kesian me…
my sister called me yesterday lunch time and ask me this funny questions “Is the sun in KK is the same as in KL?” I was wondering what does she means. Now, I understand why.
But when I try to see the scene, I wasn’t able to as the sun is surround by tick cloud in KL. So I miss the real scene.
aha cool.luckily we like to look at the sky if not i would’ve missed it. i was around queen e. hospital when this happened so we rushed home to get camera and vid cam. on the camera phone we managed to capture the moving speck Datuk Clement Yeh was pointing out.
Beautiful! I never heard about it before. Interesting! All I know about ‘halo’ is Halo Cafe, the newly opened cafe in Miri. Haha. Nice blog you have here!
