Pathway to Tranquility

Hello everyone! This is my second shot taken near at the Pullman Lakeside, Putrajaya. If I’m not mistaken this shot was a bit earlier before the “Shadow of Delightness” shot, because as you can see the front building light is still on. It was a beautiful sunrise on that morning and I enjoyed the moment. 🙂

I wish everyone have a great Sunday yeah!

The Horizon Sunset

November 10, 2011 In Landscapes 1 Comment

This shot was taken early January this year, somewhere in Kedah. Although the tide was low, but the sunset was very colorful. It was an enjoyable evening, witnessing this beauty.

Nowadays the weather in Klang Valley is very erratic due to the monsoon season. It’s very hard to get even one nice sunset shot. Just need more luck to get a good one. But never give up trying guys!

The Setup & Settings:

Camera : CANON EOS 500D + CANON EF-S 10-22MM F/3.5-4.5 USM + Remote Shutter
Filters : Cokin ND Grad .9
Camera Settings : ISO 100 | ƒ16 | 0.8 Secs

Broken Pier Sunset II

October 21, 2011 In Landscapes 1 Comment

Hey guys! This shot was taken earlier on this month at Pantai Remis, Kuala Selangor. It was a simple outing with my fellow landscape photographer friend, Tahfiz. We were there at the right time because the tide was pretty high. It was really fun playing with slow shutter and long exposure on that evening. The sunset also was not too bad, it add some colors to my shot.

Technical Spec: For this shot I used two ND Grad filter to darken the sky, .6 & .9s. I also use a Circular Polarizer to saturated the colors a bit. Then I processed the Raw file in Digital Photo Professional. The Raw file then transferred to Photoshop for basic adjustments like adjusting the brightness, contrast, levels and some cloning for the dust spot area. Then the photo were sharpen for few times at certain parts. Then I do some lens correction for the distortion on the horizontal line and that’s about it. 🙂

Hope you guys like it and have a great weekend yeah!

Another photo from last visit to Kelanang with Azralfikri Saip, Mohd Fakhrul Tahfiz& Syafiqjay Sj.

I really love the challenges here in Kelanang. The natural surface here is full with mangrove trees which make its difficult to compose a shot. This is because the trees will always be in the shot.

So, if you think you are a good landscape photographer, go to this place and check it out! 🙂

Peaceful Harmony

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.

Light Vision

13 October 2011 – Earlier it was very gloomy and cloudy, I thought it will be no sunset but suddenly the light changed. At 1900 hours this evening, I rushed to this spot with my Ferrari (:D) to catch this beautiful sunset. 🙂

This is my first time here although it was at my own hometown, I never been here before this. Thanks to a friend from Facebook for telling the location.

Sunset outing with Hazwan Hussain at Singkir, Yan, Kedah. It was raining earlier, but after the rain stops the colors start to come out. So this is what I got in my shot. 🙂

That’s the hazard of landscape photography. Sometimes even if it was raining, the weather can always change in a matter of minutes.

Ok about the shot, it was made from two exposures, I did use ND Grad for this shot, but still can’t stand the bright light. That’s why I take two exposures, one for the sky part and the other for the bottom part. Both exposures were manually blended in Photoshop. Then I do basic adjustment like increasing saturation, adjusting the contrast and levels.

Broken Pier Sunset

As’salam & good evening everyone..

Last weekend I went for an outing with my friend Tahfiz at Pantai Remis, Kuala Selangor..We decide to shoot sunset at this broken pier spot..The tide was perfect for playing with slow shutter speed, but the sunset was not so glorious on that day..Nevertheless, we still enjoy the session!

So here’s my first shot from Remis..For this shot I use 3 stops ND Grad to balance the light between the sky and the foreground..I also use a Circular Polarizer to saturate the colors..

As’salam & good day everyone.. Pantai Kelanang is one of the many beaches in Selangor.. But this beach is the real deal for landscapers.. This is my very first time here, thanks to bro Shazral for the trip there.. This beach have many mangroves tree that makes harder to compose a shot because the trees is crossing each other and it is all over the place even hundred meters away from shorelines there’s still a trees.. If you think you are a good landscape photographer, I suggest you go to this beach and check it out .. 😀

The sunset on that evening not really come out, it was playing hide and seek behind the clouds.. The scary thing is the tide was rising pretty fast! But we still enjoy the outing.. So here’s my first picture from Kelanang..
