The Last Light

October 3, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone! This shot was taken at Pantai Tok Jembal, in Kuala Terengganu. It was cloudy and rainy on that evening, my hopes for sunset is no longer there but I kept saying to myself just go for it because the weather can always change in a matter of minute. I ask my friend Sunny to come along with me, we headed to Seberang Takir to meet a friend of mine from Facebook, Zul Husain. Arriving to the location the rain starts to pour again and decided to change spot for shooting to Pantai Tok Jembal. It took us about 10-15 minutes to arrive, the rain stops but it was still cloudy and gloomy. I started shooting, followed by Zul Husain and few other friends. At first we thought that there gonna be just like that until the night fall, but suddenly the last light showed up. It was only red colors stretching over along the horizon. I was in a pool of water which is quite calm and I managed to captured it with the reflection. Subhana’Allah, it was beautiful. Thank you Allah for showing us the last light on that evening. 🙂

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Another shot from my Terengganu short visit. It was taken earlier then ‘Earth Meets Ocean‘ shot. It takes me few attempt to get the perfect movement of the waves falling down from the rock. I got hit the waves few times but luckily my entry level camera was covered by the 4×6 neutral density graduated filter! Sometimes you just got to get wet to get the perfect shot!

Have a lovely weekend my friends 🙂

Shadow of Delightness

October 30, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

Hello everyone!

Yesterday, while everyone were still on their bed dreaming, I went out for a sunrise hunting with some friends from Facebook at Putrajaya. It was a great feeling, going out so early in the morning to enjoy the nature beauty. We decided to shoot at ‘Maritim’ lake, near the Pullman Hotel. This place is beautiful and I like the serenity of the location. The atmosphere is so peaceful and very quite on that morning. Alhamdulillah, we were blessed with a good weather and the sunrise come out beautifully.

So here’s my shot from that morning, hope you guys like it! Enjoy your Sunday yeah!

13 October 2011 – Earlier it was very gloomy and cloudy, I thought it will be no sunset but suddenly the light changed. At 1900 hours this evening, I rushed to this spot with my Ferrari (:D) to catch this beautiful sunset. 🙂

This is my first time here although it was at my own hometown, I never been here before this. Thanks to a friend from Facebook for telling the location.

Sunset outing with Hazwan Hussain at Singkir, Yan, Kedah. It was raining earlier, but after the rain stops the colors start to come out. So this is what I got in my shot. 🙂

That’s the hazard of landscape photography. Sometimes even if it was raining, the weather can always change in a matter of minutes.

Ok about the shot, it was made from two exposures, I did use ND Grad for this shot, but still can’t stand the bright light. That’s why I take two exposures, one for the sky part and the other for the bottom part. Both exposures were manually blended in Photoshop. Then I do basic adjustment like increasing saturation, adjusting the contrast and levels.

Broken Pier Sunset

October 4, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

As’salam & good evening everyone..

Last weekend I went for an outing with my friend Tahfiz at Pantai Remis, Kuala Selangor..We decide to shoot sunset at this broken pier spot..The tide was perfect for playing with slow shutter speed, but the sunset was not so glorious on that day..Nevertheless, we still enjoy the session!

So here’s my first shot from Remis..For this shot I use 3 stops ND Grad to balance the light between the sky and the foreground..I also use a Circular Polarizer to saturate the colors..

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..

Misty of Blue Lagoon

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!

It’s been almost three weeks without shooting for me since Ramadhan started. This photo was taken before fasting month, I miss to be out there again, but Aidilfitri is approaching so I’ll postponed the shooting afterward. My Raya mood is on now. 😀

About the technical spec, this is a Digital Blending work consist of two exposures ; one for the upper & one for the lower part. Both exposure were manually blended in Photoshop and then I do basic adjustments like increasing saturation, adjusting levels/curves/brightness – I do the adjustment with masking technique. Then I sharpened it few times at certain part and after that I reduce some noise. Oh, I also do the lens correction in LR3 and that’s about it!

Weekend has almost come to the end now, so I wish everyone Happy Monday Blues for tomorrow! 😀
