Assalamualaikum and good day everyone! Finally, my dream to shoot at one of the most famous spot for seascape photographers in Malaysia has come true! I was there shooting for the sunrise, but it was not a glorious one. I was so excited to be here! Many thanks to Syam Yatini, a friend of mine from Facebook for bringing me along to Pantai Pandak! Much appreciate bro! 🙂

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!

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? 🙂

Bismillahhirohmanirrahim. Assalamulaikum everyone! First of all I wanna wish Ahlan Wa Sahlan ya Ramadhan! Fasting month has arrived for all Muslims. Feels so great and tonight ‘Tarawih prayer’ already started..

About the shot, it was taken on sunrise at Likas mosque in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. It was on our second time here, before we fly back to Kuala Lumpur. As you can see the blue hour is too beautiful! Oh, on our Subuh prayer we had a sujud sajaddah. Alhamdulillah. Feels like the whole trip get blessing from Allah.

Assalamualaikum and good evening guys! Here’s my latest shot from Sabah visit on last April. It was taken on sunrise, we were lucky to found this old ship stranded here and it becomes our main composition on that morning. The sunrise was pretty awesome with those cruel looking clouds and colors.

Have a great and safe weekend everyone!

Patience vs Faith

May 9, 2012 In Landscapes Mosque No Comment

Bismillah..Assalamualaikum and good morning everyone! An advance shot of ‘Salam Jumaat’ from me. 😀 This shot is taken on sunrise at Likas mosque in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah.

It was a lovely morning, this shot was taken on our first day in Sabah. This mosque is amazingly beautiful with the lake around it and it gave a nice reflection when the water’s not moving.

“The keys to patience are acceptance and faith. Accept things as they are, and look realistically at the world around you. Have faith in yourself and in the direction you have chosen.”

Dawn at Darul Aman Lake Park

April 1, 2012 In Landscapes No Comment

Assalamualaikum and good evening guys. How was your Sunday going? Mine is kinda bored. 😀 Okay, here’s a new photo from me. If I was not mistaken, this is my first sunrise shot for 2012. I’ve been wanting to go to this place for a sunrise since last year, but never had a chance before. So in January when I was back in my hometown for few days, finally I decided to go to Darul Aman Lake Park for a sunrise hunting. It was my first time shooting at this location and what I can say is I was blessed with pretty awesome sunrise. Oh, I arrived at this park about 6.00am which kinda early. It was still dark at that time and guess what I was there alone and it was scary. 😀

The Light of Faith

February 17, 2012 In Landscapes No Comment

Assalamualaikum and Salam Jumaat everyone. Another old shot from my archives – This shot was taken on November 19th, 2011 at the well known Huffaz Lake, Darul Quran, Kuala Kubu Bharu. It was an unplanned outing with my friends, just a night before we all having ‘teh tarik‘ together and then suddenly decide to have a visit to DQ. Although the weather forecast said it was going to rain that morning, Alhamdulillah we were blessed with a beautiful sunrise.

About this shot, there is a mistake and careless caused by myself. There is some kind of a resin reflection in my shot (I think it’s my GND filter) my bad I did not checked it properly because I was getting excited when the sun rises and the beautiful colors started to come out. I only checked back after finished shooting that morning. So I did some tweak to clean up the unwanted reflection and alhamdulillah, I think I’ve done it pretty well.

P/s: My advice is, every time after you click your shutter, make sure you check your shot first to prevent anything like this to happened.
