Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone. Last Sunday went to Pantai Kelanang again for sunset hunting with my usual partner in crime, Shazral. The weather has been great since morning and that tells me it going to be a great sunset. Guess what, my instinct is right! It’s was totally a ‘boom’ sunset! The amazing colors come out right after the sun has fully set. Alhamdulillah, finally I managed to get a beautiful sunset shot at Pantai Kelanang. Thank you Allah for blessing us with this magnificent sunset!

This is a single shot taken with Singh-Ray 3 stop reverse graduated neutral density filter along with Lee 3 stop pro glass neutral density filter.

In My Dream
January 3, 2013 In Seascapes Slow Shutter 1 Comment

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Happy new year 2013! Here’s my first blog post, another photo from monsoon seascape hunting with super friends on last December. This shot is taken at Kemasik, a perfect place for seascape lover like myself. As we all know, on monsoon season the waves were pretty strong. If you look at the water here, I only used a 5 seconds of exposure is enough to make the water look kinda dreamy. If you use long exposure that too long for example like 30 seconds or more, you will make the water look really white and for me I just don’t like it.

So remember, if the waves were strong a shutter speed around 5 seconds to 15 seconds is enough to blur out all the water. Nevertheless, it still depend on yourself, because its your photo you decide how you want it to be! The most important thing is, enjoy the moment! 🙂

Hope you guys like it! Have a great day 🙂

Stormy Waves of Mordor
December 20, 2012 In Seascapes Singh-Ray Filters Slow Shutter No Comment

Assalamualaikum wr wbt and good evening everyone! Here’s my next photo from my recent short trip to Terengganu. We still at ‘Mordor’ or Kemasik beach. It’s a great morning although it was raining. We were shooting on the rain. Lucky I have some cloth to cover up the camera. It’s monsoon season now in the east cost. The waves is really killing it. Just a perfect time to play with slow shutter shot like this one.

This is a single RAW shot taken with Singh-Ray 3 stop reverse graduated neutral density filter. Processed using Canon Digital Photo Professional and then transferred to Photoshop. Basic editing like adjusting the brightness/contrast, levels, curves  in order to recover some of the highlight in this image and to bring out more details.

Hope you guys like it and feel free to share this image! Thanks for the visit, have a great day 🙂

Dreamy Monsoon at Mordor
December 17, 2012 In Long Exposures Seascapes 2 Comments

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Just got back from Terengganu yesterday. Went there for monsoon seascape hunting just for one day. Four of us, me, Kamrul, Khasif and Born we leave KL on Saturday night around 10 pm. It took about 3 hours or more o reach Terengganu. We arrived about 1.30 am, a bit early from we expected. So we decided to do some recce on the shooting location. The swell was huge on the that night. I remember we stood on star cruise jetty near Kijal, the stone jetty was stone made and the huge swell crushing the jetty and makes it shaky. It was pretty scary but alhamdulillah everything is ok.

After done with recce the spot, we head to the near mosque to get some rest while waiting for Subuh prayer. It was raining on and off until we arrived back at the shooting location at 6am. It was raining quite heavy we all wait in the car hoping that the rain will stopped. Alhamdulillah, there is a yellow light from the sun rising up just above the horizon and few minutes after the rain stopped. But after about 10 minutes later, the rain falling down again and again few minutes after it stopped. It’s been like that until we finished shooting at about 9.30am. The monsoon season really makes the tide became huge and the waves is huge.

Thanks to Dr Yusri, a friend from Dungun for sharing this awesome location! This place definitely a beauty! Surely gonna revisit again soon. 🙂

I took this shot with Canon EOS 450D which I borrowed from my brother in law, because my camera is still in the hospital. Although its and old model of entry level camera from Canon, it still doing its job pretty well. Camera is just a tool, with the right technique and skills you can produce a great image. Thanks Abe Zul bagi pinjam body camera ni. 🙂

So here’s my first shot from yesterday’s day trip to Terengganu. Hope you guys like it and feel free to hit the share and like button!

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone. It’s been almost a month since I last went out for shooting because busy with work and living life. Hehe. Alhamdulillah, yesterday the weather is great and decided to go out for some photos in the evening. Right after finished some work at the office, I headed to Port Dickson with Shazral. Had checked the tide condition earlier and it’s just perfect to shoot at our favorite spot in PD, the beach near hutan lipur Pasir Panjang. It took about 1 hour+ of driving from Shah Alam to get there.

This shot was taken with a new Canon EOS 600D, a younger brother to my Canon EOS 500D. This camera is great, almost the same durability with my 500D but it came with a bunch of new features which is fantastic. This is not my camera, it belong to my brother in-law, I just borrowed it since my camera has been hospitalized. :p

It was a great evening. After the sun has fully set, suddenly a red colors appear just above the horizon. It was like someone just pull the switch and everything turns on. The red colors starting to form a rays of light and then it started to paint the sky with the beautiful colors. I was blown away at that time. To be honest with you, I was too excited and almost screw up at that time. But luckily I managed to get couple of shots and this is one of them.

Hope you guys like it and feel free to hit share button!
