This photo was taken last weekend at Pantai Robina, Penang from a simple outing with Keris Tuah. We arrived at the location about an hour before sunset, everything seems to look quite dull at that time, because of the harsh light.

After about an hour and half, everything changes again. The beautiful colors start to come out. Subhana’Allah, at that time I was really amazed with the beautif

The Old Wooden Jetty

This is my recent work from an outing with a group call Art of Nature at Teluk Bahang, Penang.

At the time we arrive to the location, not much colors on the sky, almost colorless, then I decide to go for a monochrome shot on camera and longer exposure to create dramatic photo.

It was a good outing session and it is nice to meet new friends, which some I already know from Facebook, but never met on the real world. Unfortunately for all of us, the magic hours didn’t come out on that day.

This photo was taken from my recent visit to Pulau Sayak with some friends. Actually I was going to Sg. Petani for some business deal, and I decide to go to Pulau Sayak for sunset shooting first because the deal is on night side.

Alhamdulillah, the weather turns out nicely and the sunset was beautiful on that day. It was really amazing when beautiful colors came out at magic hour. I don’t know how to describe my feeling at that time. All I can say is I do enjoy watching and photographing the magnificent view.

Skyline Sunset

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..

There is always a hope..

It was heavy rain but I still decided to join an outing at Pulau Sayak, Kedah with some friends from Penang. When arriving to the location, it was still raining. Quite frustrated at first but after an hour of waiting, around 19:40 the rain stops and the beautiful light start to come out. It was really exciting at that time..

This is my first time visiting Terengganu. Really excited but time does not allow me to visit more places. Only stop by at 2 spots. Surely will go there again in the future. InsyaAllah..

So here’s one of the shot, taken at the Tengku Tengah Zaharah Mosque @ Floating Mosque. I used B+W 10 stops filter and Cokin ND Grad for this shot. Minor editing in post-processing.

Thanks for dropping by and have a nice weekend!

Dreamy Sunset of Teluk Bayu

February 27, 2011 In Landscapes No Comment

A simple outing with Keris Tuah at Teluk Bayu, Pulau Pinang, Malaysia.

Thank you to bro Keris Tuah, for making every effort to show me few good spots to do landscape activities around Bayan Lepas. Also for the treatment at the Pattani restaurant. I really appreciate your kindness bro 🙂

Details: Digital blending of 3 exposures, one for the sky, one for the rocks and the last one for the blue sky. The reason I take few exposures is, I don’t want the rocks to be in shadow when facing my camera. I only take multiple exposures when I need to.

Thanks for visiting and have a good day!

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 ƒ/14) and one for the foreground ((0.6s at ƒ/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!
