Stormy Morning

September 17, 2012 In Long Exposures Seascapes No Comment

Assalamualaikum and very good morning everyone! Happy Malaysian day! I just got back from Terengganu, a 3 days short trip there attending my friend wedding ceremony. So here’s my first photo from the trip. This shot was taken at Tanjung Jara in Dungun. Actually I was out hunting for sunrise at this time, but it never showed up because of the thick cloud and storm’s approaching. Nevertheless, it was an amazing place! I had a great time playing with long exposures here!

Many thanks to Doc Yusri Salleh and Ahmad Fahmi for taking me to this place. I really appreciate it, you guys are awesome!

Burning Paradise

Hey guys! Another sunset shot from Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Still got few remaining pictures from the Sabah Photo Tour on April to be uploaded. Check out this burning sunset! It was really beautiful at this time. Subhan’Allah. It’s like a burning paradise! Anyway, I would call this my kind of paradise! 🙂

This is a vertorama image created from two raw shots. One for the sky part and the other one for the bottom part. Strictly no HDR, both exposures were manually blended in photoshop. Hope you guys like it as much as I do! Feel free to share it! Just click the link at the bottom of the image! Thanks in advance!

The Trails

September 7, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

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

September 4, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

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

August 24, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets 3 Comments

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

August 15, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

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.

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? 🙂

Twilight Rush Hour II

August 8, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

Bismillah..Hey guys! Here’s my next upload. Sorry for being slow to update my blog. It’s fasting month for our Muslims, plus a bit busy with works and life. Hehe 🙂 Another slow shutter shot from Tip of Borneo, this is a landscape version of Twilight Rush Hour. On the first part, it was on vertical mode and you can click here to see it. I miss this place so much right now!

I used a large aperture to captured the motion of the waves because it’s already quite dark at this time. I just want to make it look natural, therefore only a simple post-processing been done. Hope you guys like it and feel free to share!
