An evening at Lake Tekapo

November 6, 2013 In Lee Filters New Zealand No Comment

An evening at Lake Tekapo, just before the sunset. As I remember right after arrived at this place, everyone was so excited. Once I have all my gears with me, I head off the campervan and walk straight to the lake shore. O Allah, I was speechless when I reached the shore. It was so beautiful. The lakeside view with snow-capped mountains has take my breath away.

Milky Way Panorama at Lumut, Perak

May 14, 2013 In Milky Way 2 Comments

Salam and good evening everyone. Just to share another shot from Lumut visit on last weekend. After having our dinner, me and my friend Badrul decide to go out to hunt milky since the sky is clear. But we don’t know where to find dark places that have no light pollution so we just drove and around 20 km from Lumut town, we found a small road that is totally dark. I can say there is a thousand stars or maybe more that night! It is really beautiful 🙂

Oh, for your info the pano was generated from 6 vertical images that been stitched in Photoshop. Hope you guys like it and feel free to share! 🙂

Assalamualaikum, peace be upon all of you. It’s been a while since my last blog post now, been quite busy living life and travelling here and there. Earlier this year I’ve went to Sabah two times for photography trip, but still finding times to writes-up and share with you guys. But I thought I just do a short one on my recent trip to Lumut, Perak.

The main purpose of our trip to Lumut is to attend our friend’s wedding ceremony. It was a beautiful wedding reception, the food was nice so do the people.

Later in the evening, we went to Marina Island for sunset shooting. That place is so crowded in the evening! We even clash with lots of wedding and portrait photographers there. Enough with bumbling, here’s my sunset shot from Marina Island!

Hope you guys like it and thanks for reading! 🙂

Enchanted

Assalamualaikum and very good morning everyone! Yesterday while I was on my way back to my hometown Kedah, I drop by at Penang to hunt for some sunset at Teluk Bayu. Last time I was here is in February 2011, it’s like 2 years back and this is my second time here thanks to Bangpit a.k.a Raytec Crew for taking me to this place. I wouldn’t be here if I was alone because I couldn’t remember the route! 😛 Also met some new friends there because they were also shooting the sunset at the same spot.

The magic colors did not appear yesterday because the sun was hidden behind the thick clouds as it reach the horizon. Only some of it’s yellow-orange colors and thanks to Singh-Ray reverse grad, it add some spice to the shot because of it’s cast. But one thing I was lucky because the tide is rising and I manage to catch some of the waves motion by using the 3 Stop Lee Pro Glass ND.

Hope you guys like the shot, happy holiday!

Peace be upon all of you, good evening and salam jumuah mubarokah. Here is my next photo from last weekend amazing sunset at Pantai Kelanang, Banting and its in landscape mode which mean wider view! Oh yes, another big fallen dead trees as the foreground interest, because I try to make it different. Before this, I always wanted a clean and neat compo for my shot, but that day I just decided to try something new and here’s the result!

I was lucky to get the right timing of the tide. It was rising but not that fast and thanks to Lee filter Pro Glass ND 3 stop, I was able to get the smoothness in the water part. The beautiful sunset colors was starting to appear at this time and it was really magical! I was like keep on saying alhamdulillah, thank you Allah for giving me this magnificent sunset on that evening, syukur! 🙂

Some info about the photo, a single RAW shot taken with Singh-Ray 3 stop reverse grad and lee 3 stop pro glass nd. Shot was processed in Canon Digital Professional for the raw file, then the file transferred into photoshop. In photoshop I increase the brightness on the tree part, because it was a bit dark on the original file. Other than that, basic enhancement as always to make the picture look more alive. 🙂

I hope you guys like this shot as much as I do! Feel free to hit the share button 🙂

The amazing colors come out right after the sun has fully set. Alhamdulillah, finally I managed to get a beautiful sunset shot at Pantai Kelanang. Thank you Allah for blessing us with this magnificent sunset!

Stormy Waves of Mordor

December 20, 2012 In Seascapes Singh-Ray Filters Slow Shutter No Comment

Assalamualaikum wr wbt and good evening everyone! Here’s my next photo from my recent short trip to Terengganu. We still at ‘Mordor’ or Kemasik beach. It’s a great morning although it was raining. We were shooting on the rain. Lucky I have some cloth to cover up the camera. It’s monsoon season now in the east cost. The waves is really killing it. Just a perfect time to play with slow shutter shot like this one.

This is a single RAW shot taken with Singh-Ray 3 stop reverse graduated neutral density filter. Processed using Canon Digital Photo Professional and then transferred to Photoshop. Basic editing like adjusting the brightness/contrast, levels, curves in order to recover some of the highlight in this image and to bring out more details.

Hope you guys like it and feel free to share this image! Thanks for the visit, have a great day 🙂

Dreamy Monsoon at Mordor

December 17, 2012 In Long Exposures Seascapes 2 Comments

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Just got back from Terengganu yesterday. Went there for monsoon seascape hunting just for one day. Four of us, me, Kamrul, Khasif and Born we leave KL on Saturday night around 10 pm. It took about 3 hours or more o reach Terengganu. We arrived about 1.30 am, a bit early from we expected. So we decided to do some recce on the shooting location. The swell was huge on the that night. I remember we stood on star cruise jetty near Kijal, the stone jetty was stone made and the huge swell crushing the jetty and makes it shaky. It was pretty scary but alhamdulillah everything is ok.

After done with recce the spot, we head to the near mosque to get some rest while waiting for Subuh prayer. It was raining on and off until we arrived back at the shooting location at 6am. It was raining quite heavy we all wait in the car hoping that the rain will stopped. Alhamdulillah, there is a yellow light from the sun rising up just above the horizon and few minutes after the rain stopped. But after about 10 minutes later, the rain falling down again and again few minutes after it stopped. It’s been like that until we finished shooting at about 9.30am. The monsoon season really makes the tide became huge and the waves is huge.

Thanks to Dr Yusri, a friend from Dungun for sharing this awesome location! This place definitely a beauty! Surely gonna revisit again soon. 🙂

I took this shot with Canon EOS 450D which I borrowed from my brother in law, because my camera is still in the hospital. Although its and old model of entry level camera from Canon, it still doing its job pretty well. Camera is just a tool, with the right technique and skills you can produce a great image. Thanks Abe Zul bagi pinjam body camera ni. 🙂

So here’s my first shot from yesterday’s day trip to Terengganu. Hope you guys like it and feel free to hit the share and like button!
