Welcome to Jeram..

December 11, 2010 In Landscapes No Comment

Well, this is my first time visiting Jeram. A simple and nice outing with Sang Photographer and Shazral. Alhamdulillah, we are so fortunate because the weather turns out nicely..

Tech spec: My first try of vertorama, consist of 2 exposure, one for the upper part (2.5s at f/22) and the other one for the lower part (5s at f/22). Both exposure were manually blended in Photoshop CS3. After that, I do some minor adjustments and little touch-up like increasing levels and saturation, dodging and burning, and few sharpenings.

P/s: Thanks to SP for inviting me to tag along and thanks to bro Shazral for giving a ride.

Ghost me!

Another shot of Pantai Remis taken yesterday..Almost colorless..

The ‘ghost’ that you see in the picture, actually that is me. Just trying to include myself in the picture. 🙂

The weather is so unpredictable these days..By the time we arrive to the spot, the light just seem to be very exciting. But then, it turn slowly into cloudy..and then rain starts to fall down to earth..

Surely will be back to this spot when the weather is nice..InsyaAllah..

The Iron Mosque

December 3, 2010 In Landscapes No Comment

The Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, or Iron Mosque is the second principal mosque in Putrajaya, Malaysia after Putra Mosque. The mosque was officially opened on 4 September 2009 by the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.

Note: Another old stock photo from my collection..There’s been no landscape shooting for me in the past few weeks..I’ve been missing to go out there, to be in action again..

Twilight Sunset at Masjid Besi, Putrajaya

December 3, 2010 In Landscapes No Comment

After the shot from PICC, I decided to go to this beautiful spot of amazing architectural building, the Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque or more popular known as ‘Masjid Besi’.

We were very lucky, as for today the sunset is very beautiful and breathtaking..

SubhanAllah for the amazing sunset today, and thank you Allah, for giving us such a beautiful view to watch..

Details: As for this shot, I used AE (Aperture priority mode) and I take 2 different exposures, one for the sky and the other one for the mosque. Both were taken on the same shutter speed of 30 sec. The aperture value for the sky, is f /22 and the mosque is f /11. For longer shutter speed, I used a cheap china ND8 filters with Cokin P series holder.

Tech spech: Both of the exposure were manually blended in Ps, and after that sharpening has been done to increase the dynamic range of the photo. As usual, the final step is adding the watermark.

Thanks for dropping by!

This shot was taken from PICC helipad. Kinda scary, because it was very high from the above ground.
