This is my recent work from an outing with a group call Art of Nature at Teluk Bahang, Penang.
At the time we arrive to the location, not much colors on the sky, almost colorless, then I decide to go for a monochrome shot on camera and longer exposure to create dramatic photo.
It was a good outing session and it is nice to meet new friends, which some I already know from Facebook, but never met on the real world. Unfortunately for all of us, the magic hours didn’t come out on that day.
This photo was taken from my recent visit to Pulau Sayak with some friends. Actually I was going to Sg. Petani for some business deal, and I decide to go to Pulau Sayak for sunset shooting first because the deal is on night side.
Alhamdulillah, the weather turns out nicely and the sunset was beautiful on that day. It was really amazing when beautiful colors came out at magic hour. I don’t know how to describe my feeling at that time. All I can say is I do enjoy watching and photographing the magnificent view.
ISO 200 | ƒ9.0 | 10 Secs | Cokin ND Grad + Hoya HD CPL
Thank you for dropping by, have a great weekend everyone!
This is another version which is taken at the same spot, on the same day..I just love the rocks formation..It makes me feel like I was in Terengganu..I wish I was..
Details: A single RAW shot using Cokin P121s ND Grad. I used Aperture-Priority mode, F16 at 5s ISO100 and Exposure Compensation +2/3 (to brighten up the foreground)
Tech spech: The RAW file processed in DPP for some adjustment and then transfered to Photoshop CS3. In CS3, I do another minor adjustment like increase saturation, adjusting the levels and curves, fews sharpening, some dodging and burning and finally the border and watermark.
P/s: Thanks for dropping by and I wish you all HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 !
After the best light gone, playing around with self portrait. What happen with my head? LOL 😀
Another shot of Pantai Remis taken yesterday..Almost colorless..
The ‘ghost’ that you see in the picture, actually that is me. Just trying to include myself in the picture. 🙂
The weather is so unpredictable these days..By the time we arrive to the spot, the light just seem to be very exciting. But then, it turn slowly into cloudy..and then rain starts to fall down to earth..
Surely will be back to this spot when the weather is nice..InsyaAllah..
Hi guys, that’s me, in action again. This photo was taken today at Pantai Remis, Kuala Selangor.
Salam Ma’al Hijrah 1432 – Fakrul J. 🙂
The Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque, or Iron Mosque is the second principal mosque in Putrajaya, Malaysia after Putra Mosque. The mosque was officially opened on 4 September 2009 by the 13th Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Tuanku Mizan Zainal Abidin.
Note: Another old stock photo from my collection..There’s been no landscape shooting for me in the past few weeks..I’ve been missing to go out there, to be in action again..
After the shot from PICC, I decided to go to this beautiful spot of amazing architectural building, the Mizan Zainal Abidin Mosque or more popular known as ‘Masjid Besi’.
We were very lucky, as for today the sunset is very beautiful and breathtaking..
SubhanAllah for the amazing sunset today, and thank you Allah, for giving us such a beautiful view to watch..
Details: As for this shot, I used AE (Aperture priority mode) and I take 2 different exposures, one for the sky and the other one for the mosque. Both were taken on the same shutter speed of 30 sec. The aperture value for the sky, is f /22 and the mosque is f /11. For longer shutter speed, I used a cheap china ND8 filters with Cokin P series holder.
Tech spech: Both of the exposure were manually blended in Ps, and after that sharpening has been done to increase the dynamic range of the photo. As usual, the final step is adding the watermark.
Thanks for dropping by!
As usual, I can’t sleep after having my sahur, so I decided to go to the nearest beach, Pantai Leman to take some shots. Actually, I just received my ND filters a few days ago. That is why I’m so excited to take a seascape shots. I’ve been ‘rachun’ with this Neutral Density filter by a few ‘landscape otai’ that I met in my Facebook. For some reason, I think there is more landscape photographer on the east coast then north. Or maybe I just don’t met them yet. I hope to meet some in future.
So, here’s my first ever long exposure shot and the setting, 15 secs at ƒ/22, ISO 100. Enjoy watching!
Today, we celebrated 53rd years of Independence. 53 years of peaceful and harmonious life. I am so proud to be MALAYSIAN! 🙂 Here’s the last night photo, taken right after the fireworks show starts at I-City, Shah Alam. Enjoy watching!
