Slow shutter

Misty of Blue Lagoon

September 11, 2011 In Black & White Seascapes No Comment

Good morning and Happy Sunday guys ..

I rarely go out on this few weeks because of the hazy weather in KL .. No good if hunting for sunrise or sunset but of course, we still can get a decent black & white photos ..

So here’s an example of a shot in black & white taken at Blue Lagoon, Port Dickson .. Actually I was hunting for sunset on that day, but the weather was quite dull .. So the only way to overcome the problem is by doing a long exposure shot of 30’s in black & white ..

Enjoy the weekend yeah!

Assalamualaikum & Salam Jumaat ..

Hey guys .. Its been a month my camera haven’t come out from the bag, due to no time for shooting and also to give a way for Ramadhan .. Now it have passes and I’m currently at my hometown Alor Setar, Kedah for the Eid Mubarak .. Yesterday I sneak out alone and head to the nearest beach to my house for some photos .. Lucky for me again, the sunset turns out nicely although the tide was low at that time .. I manage to get few decent shots I think .. So here’s one of them .. Happy Eid Mubarak everyone!

Soon everyone will start to head back to the city, including myself. I just want to say please drive/ride carefully and slowly, remember your loves one.

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! :))

The Lines

July 19, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

Hey guys, this is my second picture from recent visit of Jeram. I tried to capture the waves motion and lines here, which I think is quite interesting because it was swirling little bit. For this shot I used two exposures, one for the sky and one for the waves. Both exposures were then manually blended in Photoshop. This is not an HDR image.

More pictures coming in soon! 🙂

Stepping Rocks to Nowhere

June 18, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

It’s been a while since my last post on Flickr. I don’t get out much for sometime. So yesterday I decide to go out and Tanjung Biru, Port Dickson is the place I went. Thanks to a friend of mine in Facebook, for telling me about this location. 🙂

I have to say, if you are a seascape lover like myself, this is the place that you definitely want to go. There’s many foreground interest can be found here.

The sad thing is, I only manage to get couple of shots only, due to arriving late and the sunset was not so glorious that day. The magic hour didn’t appear at all. 🙁

Surely I will revisit this place again soon. 🙂

Little Waves

My second photo from Art of Nature outing session, at Teluk Bahang, Penang. Trying to catch some waves motion here, but the tidal was decreasing. So here’s the little waves that I manage to capture.
