Wondrous Jeram

August 21, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

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! 😀

Marching Cloud of As-Salam

Salam Jumaat everyone..

This shot was taken just before fasting month, a simple outing with my friend Fakhrul Tahfiz at As-Salam Mosque, Puchong Perdana.
Actually this is my first time visiting this mosque. I was very lucky to catch the mosque light in my shot and seconds after that the light went off. Also very fortunate for me to catch those marching cloud in my shot. 🙂

To all my Muslim friend, happy fasting & may Allah bless us all..Have a good day everyone!

Skel og Rokk

July 25, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

Hey guys! Another picture from Jeram, but this time no more jumping waves because the tide is decreasing as the nightfall. According to the exif data, this shot was taken at 20.05. Isn’t it awesome, the light is still amazing at that time!

The title Skel og Rokk is from Icelandic word which means Shell and Rock. Actually I was dreaming about Iceland when posting this picture, so I decide to give it a title in Icelandic.

Back to the shot, I used a slow shutter speed to catch some of the wave motion passing through both the rock and the shell. But the waves just passing through the rock. Nevertheless, I think it still look cool.

I guess Jeram series have come to the end for now. Hope everyone enjoy the series! :))
