Burning Paradise
September 11, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets 2 Comments

Hey guys! Another sunset shot from Tanjung Aru, Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. Still got few remaining pictures from the Sabah Photo Tour on April to be uploaded. Check out this burning sunset! It was really beautiful at this time. Subhan’Allah. It’s like a burning paradise! Anyway, I would call this my kind of paradise! 🙂

This is a vertorama image created from two raw shots. One for the sky part and the other one for the bottom part. Strictly no HDR, both exposures were manually blended in photoshop. Hope you guys like it as much as I do! Feel free to share it! Just click the link at the bottom of the image! Thanks in advance!

Skyline Sunset
April 4, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

I always wonder, when I’m going to see a skyline sunset. Yesterday was the answer. SubhanAllah, I have seen a beautiful skyline sunset at Pantai Murni, Yan, Kedah.

Actually this is a trip to waterfalls (Reakreasi Batu Hampar) with some friends. After almost 3 hours of swimming bath we decide to drop by at this place. It was low tide, quite disappointed at first. Then I see some old woods (maybe an old jetty) that is quite interesting, lining-up straight to the horizon. I decide to composed them in the center of my shot as the sunset was directly behind the old jetty.

This is a vertorama consist of two different exposures. I used Hoya HD Circular Polarizer to deepen the colors along with some ND Grad filter to darken the sky. Post-processing have been done in CS3.

Thank you Allah, for giving me the opportunity to enjoy this breathtaking moment..

Low tide Sunset
January 23, 2011 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

Just found another great spot for landscape activities back in my hometown..It was located at Kampung Sungai Kuar Jawa, Kedah.

Tech spech: A vertorama of 2 exposures, both shot in Aperture-Priority Mode. One for the sky (1/13s at Ć’/14) and one for the foreground ((0.6s at Ć’/14). Both exposure were manually blended in Photoshop CS3. After that, I do some basic adjustments and little touch-up like increasing levels and saturation, dodging and burning, and few sharpenings to increase the dynamic range.

P/s: Surely that I will be visiting this spot again when the tide is high!
