Exquisite Sunset at The Restaurant
Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Hope you guys had a great day today and I’m wishing to all muslims early Salam Jumaat. Just came back from holiday in my hometown Kedah, I had great time there shooting with friends.
Ok enough about that, so this is the photo I was so excited to upload. It was taken a few days before Aidiladha, I asked my fellow ‘partner in crime’, Shazral to go for a sunset shooting somewhere near Shah Alam because both of us worked around there. A day before that we also went for sunset shooting in Pantai Remis, but no luck because the sunset is hiding behind thick clouds and that’s why I asked Shazral for repeat. This spot crossed on my mind because I’ve seen Vedd Edd photo from this place and it was amazing.
About the shot, it was taken with Daryl Benson Reverse Neutral Density Graduated Filter 3 stops along with Lee 105mm Circular Polarizer. I took 3 different exposures, one for the sky, one for the restaurant and the last one is for the reflection. All 3 exposures were manually blended in photoshop. No HDR involved and this is the result! 
Hope you guys like it and feel free to share! View it on FLICKR | Prints are available here.

The Trails
Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Another recent shot from Port Dickson on a simple outing with my Flickr friends. Like I said in my previous post here, even though the sun setting not right in front of this spot, we still got a bit of the colors! I had a great time playing with the waves on that evening! So here’s another result. 
This place have a lot of potential for seascape shooting, maybe will pay another visit on low tide after this.
I did some cloning on the right side of the image to get rid a bunch of trees that fall under the frame. It was a very tight spot with lot of trees hanging around all over the place!

The Dancing Waves
Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Here’s my recent shot from Port Dickson on a simple outing with Flickr friends. But too bad that on this spot the sun was setting a bit right to it. Nevertheless, we still got the reflected colors. It was a high tide, I had great time playing with slow shutter and jumping waves! Of course me and my camera are all wet! Maybe I have to upgrade to a weather seal camera and lenses. 
This is a single RAW shot taken with 3 stop GND and 3 stop full ND.

Fiery Sunset of Tg. Aru
Assalamualaikum and Salam Jumaat guys! My Sabah series of photos is coming to the last part, which is at Tg. Aru, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. This fiery sunset was captured on our last day and just about 2 hours before our flight back to Kuala Lumpur. It was truly amazing! I can say this is the most beautiful sunset I ever seen and captured so far! This shot almost straight out of camera. I just changed the white balance from auto to daylight. Wicked colors kan!

Magic Hour at UMS
Assalamualaikum & selamat malam everyone! A new entry and this time the sunset shot was taken at University Malaysia Sabah (UMS) on nature’s best moment, the magic hour. It’s was a great splash of colors on that evening. Sadly I only managed to get a few good shots only. Find it quite difficult to composed as the tide rising very fast. Anyway, here’s my first shot from UMS.

Patience vs Faith
Bismillah..Assalamualaikum 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.”
