Info tambahan dari I, untuk yang tak tahu "PEATLAND" tu apa, senang citer ia sebenarnya tanah gambut. Kalau nak tahu tempat2 yang ada peatlands kat Malaysia, boleh rujuk kat
A Quick Scan of Peatlands in Malaysia.
Ini gambar peatland kat Raja Muda Musa Forest yang I snap few months ago, sebagai rujukan untuk yang tak kenal peatland tu macamana.
Tak semestinya yang ada kamera DSLR saja boleh join. Kalau kamera compact pun, kalau subjek gambar tu menarik..Insya Allah akan ada peluang nak menang.
Pssssttt : good luck untuk yang nak mengambil bahagian.
