Dreamy dusk of Batu Ferringhi
January 10, 2011 In Black & White Seascapes No Comment

This is my first black and white photo on Flickr. Decided to do so because Black and White photo can create some dreamy mood effect with the long exposures of the blurring water.

Details: A single shot of RAW file, attach with B+W ND1000. Shot in Aperture-Priority mode, F11 at 160s ISO200.

Tech spech: The RAW file processed in DPP and transfered into Photoshop to convert the photo into black and white. A little tweak adjustment with the levels, curves, and some dodging. Finally the photo were add to Dynamic Photo HDR and I use the Pseudo HDR feature to make a single HDR image.

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 !

Details: For this shot, I try to used the rocks on the left side and the right side for my composition to framed the whole shot..As usual, I’m using Aperture-Priority mode, F22 at 20s ISO100 and I used Cokin P121s ND Grad to darken the sky.

Tech spech: A single RAW shot, processed in Digital Photo Professional and Photoshop CS3 for minor adjustments like sharpening, levels and saturation.
