Another photo from last visit to Kelanang with Azralfikri Saip, Mohd Fakhrul Tahfiz& Syafiqjay Sj.
I really love the challenges here in Kelanang. The natural surface here is full with mangrove trees which make its difficult to compose a shot. This is because the trees will always be in the shot.
So, if you think you are a good landscape photographer, go to this place and check it out! 🙂
As’salam & good day everyone.. Pantai Kelanang is one of the many beaches in Selangor.. But this beach is the real deal for landscapers.. This is my very first time here, thanks to bro Shazral for the trip there.. This beach have many mangroves tree that makes harder to compose a shot because the trees is crossing each other and it is all over the place even hundred meters away from shorelines there’s still a trees.. If you think you are a good landscape photographer, I suggest you go to this beach and check it out .. 😀
The sunset on that evening not really come out, it was playing hide and seek behind the clouds.. The scary thing is the tide was rising pretty fast! But we still enjoy the outing.. So here’s my first picture from Kelanang..
Hello everyone .. As we all know the weather in KL on this few weeks are very bad .. Fully covered with hazy which will do no good if hunting for sunrise or sunset ..
Last week I go to Pantai Remis beach with my girlfriend to try my luck for some seascape and sunset shots.. But luck isn’t at my side because the sun is playing hide and seek behind the clouds .. Although the weather was very bad, luckily the tide was high on that evening .. So what I did is I play with long exposure shots in monochrome .. That is the only way I know to escape this hazy condition .. So here’s one of the picture that I manage to capture on that day .. I use the Hitech Pro Stop 10 ND filter for longer exposure time to blur out the water ..
After finish shooting, we went for ikan bakar at Medan Ikan Bakar Jeram .. The ikan bakar there was very delicious ..
Good morning and Happy Sunday guys ..
I rarely go out on this few weeks because of the hazy weather in KL .. No good if hunting for sunrise or sunset but of course, we still can get a decent black & white photos ..
So here’s an example of a shot in black & white taken at Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson .. Actually I was hunting for sunset on that day, but the weather was quite dull .. So the only way to overcome the problem is by doing a long exposure shot of 30’s in black & white ..
Enjoy the weekend yeah!
Finally yesterday I manage to go out and shoot! It feels great, to be out at the beach after a long hectic week at work. I guess it was my lucky day, I was blessed with good weather and the tide was quite high that evening. The waves was crazy! It keeps on crashing the rocks and almost hit my camera! I got some close encountered, captured in my shot. I will upload the picture later when I have free time. 😀
I feel like don’t want to go home that evening, because of the beautiful sunset and the crazy waves. It feels endless! Oh, I met a a new friend that evening who share same name like me, Fakhrul Tahfiz. It was nice meeting you bro. 🙂
So here’s my first picture of that evening. This shot was taken with the NEW Hitech Pro Stop filter (10 stops). Man I love how the filter works!
Stay tuned for more pictures guys!
This is my recent work from an outing with a group call Art of Nature at Teluk Bahang, Penang.
At the time we arrive to the location, not much colors on the sky, almost colorless, then I decide to go for a monochrome shot on camera and longer exposure to create dramatic photo.
It was a good outing session and it is nice to meet new friends, which some I already know from Facebook, but never met on the real world. Unfortunately for all of us, the magic hours didn’t come out on that day.
Just found another great spot for landscape activities back in my hometown..It was located at Kampung Sungai Kuar Jawa, Kedah.
Tech spech: A vertorama of 2 exposures, both shot in Aperture-Priority Mode. One for the sky (1/13s at ƒ/14) and one for the foreground ((0.6s at ƒ/14). Both exposure were manually blended in Photoshop CS3. After that, I do some basic adjustments and little touch-up like increasing levels and saturation, dodging and burning, and few sharpenings to increase the dynamic range.
P/s: Surely that I will be visiting this spot again when the tide is high!

This is my first black and white photo on Flickr. Decided to do so because Black and White photo can create some dreamy mood effect with the long exposures of the blurring water.
Details: A single shot of RAW file, attach with B+W ND1000. Shot in Aperture-Priority mode, F11 at 160s ISO200.
Tech spech: The RAW file processed in DPP and transfered into Photoshop to convert the photo into black and white. A little tweak adjustment with the levels, curves, and some dodging. Finally the photo were add to Dynamic Photo HDR and I use the Pseudo HDR feature to make a single HDR image.
This is another version which is taken at the same spot, on the same day..I just love the rocks formation..It makes me feel like I was in Terengganu..I wish I was..
Details: A single RAW shot using Cokin P121s ND Grad. I used Aperture-Priority mode, F16 at 5s ISO100 and Exposure Compensation +2/3 (to brighten up the foreground)
Tech spech: The RAW file processed in DPP for some adjustment and then transfered to Photoshop CS3. In CS3, I do another minor adjustment like increase saturation, adjusting the levels and curves, fews sharpening, some dodging and burning and finally the border and watermark.
P/s: Thanks for dropping by and I wish you all HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 !
