Exquisite Sunset at The Restaurant
November 1, 2012 In Landscapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone! Hope you guys had a great day today and I’m wishing to all muslims early Salam Jumaat. Just came back from holiday in my hometown Kedah, I had great time there shooting with friends.

Ok enough about that, so this is the photo I was so excited to upload. It was taken a few days before Aidiladha, I asked my fellow ‘partner in crime’, Shazral to go for a sunset shooting somewhere near Shah Alam because both of us worked around there.  A day before that we also went for sunset shooting in Pantai Remis, but no luck because the sunset is hiding behind thick clouds and that’s why I asked Shazral for repeat. This spot crossed on my mind because I’ve seen Vedd Edd photo from this place and it was amazing.

About the shot, it was taken with Daryl Benson Reverse Neutral Density Graduated Filter 3 stops along with Lee 105mm Circular Polarizer. I took 3 different exposures, one for the sky, one for the restaurant and the last one is for the reflection. All 3 exposures were manually blended in photoshop. No HDR involved and this is the result! 🙂

Hope you guys like it and feel free to share! 🙂 View it on FLICKR | Prints are available here.

Twilight Rush Hour II
August 8, 2012 In Seascapes Sunrise and Sunsets No Comment

Bismillah..Hey guys! Here’s my next upload. Sorry for being slow to update my blog. It’s fasting month for our Muslims, plus a bit busy with works and life. Hehe 🙂 Another slow shutter shot from Tip of Borneo, this is a landscape version of Twilight Rush Hour. On the first part, it was on vertical mode and you can click here to see it. I miss this place so much right now!

I used a large aperture to captured the motion of the waves because it’s already quite dark at this time. I just want to make it look natural, therefore only a simple post-processing been done. Hope you guys like it and feel free to share!

Assalamualaikum and good day everyone! Another Tip of Borneo shot, but this time on long exposure mode. 🙂 It was taken a bit after the Twilight Rush Hour shot and it was still on the same composition. A 30 seconds exposure is enough to blur out all the water and we are so fortunate that the sunset was beautiful on that evening!

I forgot to do a video recording for this compo with my camera that’s too bad kan! But luckily I managed to record one with my iPhone at this time. 🙂

Marine’s Paradise
June 3, 2012 In Seascapes No Comment

Assalamualaikum and good evening everyone. Here we are, my next upload from the Sabah series and we are still at the Tip of Borneo. I’m trying to catch some of the waves action jumping up into the coral, but the tides were too slow.

It was fun though. I really love the crystal clear water here. It makes most of the coral and marine’s life visible to watches.

Bismillah..Assalamualaikum dan selamat malam 1 Rejab 1433H sahabatku semua.

‘Ada 5 malam dalam setahun, Allah S.W.T bukakan pintu langit, salah satunya adalam malam 1 Rejab’

Marilah kita perbanyakkan doa dan ibadah pada malam ini dan juga sepanjang bulan Rejab ini. Mudah-mudahan Allah ampunkan dosa kita, memakbulkan doa kita.

Hey guys, this is the next photo from my Sabah Photo tour on last April. Really sorry for the slow uploading, kinda busy with works and life.

This shot was taken at Tip of Borneo, at sunset. As you can see the waves is rushing and jumping in front of my shot. It was kinda scary when you standing in the water at your hips depth to just to get this shot. But the result here tells it worth every penny of it!

Starfish vs Coral

Bismillah..Assalamualaikum and very good evening to everyone! I wish you guys have a great weekend!

So here’s my next photo from the recent Sabah Photo Tour. Another shot taken at the Tip of Borneo, Simpang Mengayau where the South China Sea meets the Sulu Sea. This is on our second day here. We decided to stayed for another day because on the first day many of us did not get the best shot. I think it is because of the view is just too amazing that makes everyone loss in composing their shot. Hey, I faced the same problem too! But luckily, I managed to get few ‘okay’ shots on the first day. 🙂
