The Devil’s Ride II
August 10, 2012 In Seascapes No Comment

Hello everyone! The second part of sunrise session at this stranded ‘devil’s ride’. Actually this second part is taken earlier than the first one. As you can see the sky is still blue and the sunrise colors is still vibrant. We were pretty luck to get the right tide when we was here. If the tide too high we cannot get close to this ship and if the tide too low, then it will be not too interesting. I miss Tip of Borneo!

P/s: My entry level camera is suffering hot pixels and dead pixels now. Is it time for a full frame? 🙂

Assalamualaikum and good evening guys! Here’s my latest shot from Sabah visit on last April. It was taken on sunrise, we were lucky to found this old ship stranded here and it becomes our main composition on that morning. The sunrise was pretty awesome with those cruel looking clouds and colors.

Have a great and safe weekend everyone!

Patience vs Faith
May 9, 2012 In Landscapes Mosque No Comment

Bismillah..Assalamualaikum and good morning everyone! An advance shot of ‘Salam Jumaat’ from me. 😀 This shot is taken on sunrise at Likas mosque in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

It was a lovely morning, this shot was taken on our first day in Sabah. This mosque is amazingly beautiful with the lake around it and it gave a nice reflection when the water’s not moving.

“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.”

Dawn at Darul Aman Lake Park
April 1, 2012 In Landscapes No Comment

Assalamualaikum and good evening guys. How was your Sunday going? Mine is kinda bored. 😀 Okay, here’s a new photo from me. If I was not mistaken, this is my first sunrise shot for 2012. I’ve been wanting to go to this place for a sunrise since last year, but never had a chance before. So in January when I was back in my hometown for few days, finally I decided to go to Darul Aman Lake Park for a sunrise hunting. It was my first time shooting at this location and what I can say is I was blessed with pretty awesome sunrise. Oh, I arrived at this park about 6.00am which kinda early. It was still dark at that time and guess what I was there alone and it was scary. 😀

The Light of Faith
February 17, 2012 In Landscapes No Comment

Assalamualaikum and Salam Jumaat everyone. Another old shot from my archives – This shot was taken on November 19th, 2011 at the well known Huffaz Lake, Darul Quran, Kuala Kubu Bharu. It was an unplanned outing with my friends, just a night before we all having ‘teh tarik‘ together and then suddenly decide to have a visit to DQ. Although the weather forecast said it was going to rain that morning, Alhamdulillah we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise.

About this shot, there is a mistake and careless caused by myself. There is some kind of a resin reflection in my shot (I think it’s my GND filter) my bad I did not checked it properly because I was getting excited when the sun rises and the beautiful colors started to come out. I only checked back after finished shooting that morning. So I did some tweak to clean up the unwanted reflection and alhamdulillah, I think I’ve done it pretty well.

P/s: My advice is, every time after you click your shutter, make sure you check your shot first to prevent anything like this to happened.

Morning Glory
January 23, 2012 In Seascapes 3 Comments

Assalamualaikum and good morning everyone! First of all I want to wish Happy Chinese New Year & Gong Xi Fa Cai to all my chinese friends and readers! Have a great new year guys!

Okay about the shot it was taken on a simple outing with Keris Tuah, back in May last year in Penang. I forgotten this place name, but I remember it was somewhere near Jelutong Bandar Baru (correct me if I’m wrong). As you can see, it was a glorious morning with this very beautiful sunrise colors. Plus it was even perfect with the shoreline being so still and creates a very serene reflection.

It was really worth it, waking up so early in the morning just to captured and enjoyed this breathtaking view.

Peaceful Harmony
October 14, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

Salam Jumaat for everyone. Another old shot of mine taken at As’Salam mosque on sun rising. As you can see, the colors is so peaceful and harmony. It’s really worth going out so early in the morning to enjoy this beautiful moment.

About the shot itself, this is a single RAW file, shot at ISO 100 | ƒ14 | 30 Secs. I used Hitech .9s ND Grad and Lee 105MM Circular Polarizer to balance the bright sky and also to saturated the colors. I processed the RAW file with Digital Photo Professional and then the file transferred into Photoshop for basic adjustments.
