Malaysia Wildlife Photographer of The Year 2008

Malaysian Photographer of the Year Competition will be a national showcase for the very best of photography featuring natural subjects. The competition is organized by Zoo Negara who pride themselves on revealing and championing the diversity of life on Earth.

Image Stabilization

Image stabilization (IS) is a family of techniques to increase the stability of an image. It is used in image-stabilized binoculars, photography, photography, videography and astronomical telescopes. With still cameras, camera shake is particularly problematic at slow shutter speeds or with the long focal length lenses.
