Penang in HDR

Just came back from a fantastic vacation trip at Penang.
Didn't took much pictures this time.
Cuz i'm doing a series of videos using the D90.
Anyways, I still do take pictures.
And the concept this time,
is to potray Penang through HDR processing.

The 1st post of 2011

[Editted and posted on 3rd of April 2011, this is previously an unpublished post in January 2011]

And I'm back.

Wow it's April and this is the first time i update my blog.

GOSH. The blog almost get rotten.

Glad that i still remembered its existence.

Well, since the last post, I did take a lot of pictures.

I still hav tons of unprocessed photos.

The places that I went during the hibernation of this blog include

Tasik Kenyir, the East coast of Terengganu and Melaka.

Lots of photos also been taken during the Chinese New Year.

(omg i dont even hav any updates on 2011 CNY)

i joined a photo shooting event in conjunction of CNY for the first time.

Family photo taking sessions were the most enjoyable ever and

i even made my own reflector for that.

Well, i guess that's all for the Updates. I'm very busy for real.

Assignments and tasks are as many as usual.

Exam's comin soon too. All the things just go wilder and wilder.

Wish me luck.

Just one photos for this post.

Will take a long time to do that if i am to upload more.

Anyways, my Facebook photo albums are still updated.

For more photo just click on my fb to hav a look on it.

That's all for this post. =)

p/s:i'll make sure this blog is loaded with lots of photos again once i am totally free again. and i hate the unintended spacing of this post. Whats happening with blogger.

- A ''semi-slow'' shutter photo taken at the beach of Terengganu. Getting into monochromatic phorography recently. That's why it's been processed in a black and white format.

The Little Wonder - Louis Poon

-
I haven't really tried out a potraiture shooting before...

Untill i met my little cousins 2 weeks ago...

He's my first 'model' and i think will be the youngest ever...

And he's Louis Poon, a little baby boy who is just 14 months old...

Shooting place was at home and it was without any

lighting systems except my D90 pop-up flash...
-

My thoughts? Awhh...

Shooting babies are tiring, but fun!

You'll need to always make him smile and laugh...

As he also do moves here and there,

You'll need to stay low on the ground and crawl along with him...

-

Anyways,
it's was my first ever ''model shooting'',

and it's the sweetest one... =)

Light Graffiti - Colour with Light

-

Well, i've finally manage to get myself another 'photo assignment'... LOL...

Anyways, it's just something which i haven't try before,
which is light graffiti or more known as light painting...

Frankly, it's amazingly fun and interesting!

Light painting or light graffiti is actually

a long exposure photography technique...

Just as the term which says 'light painting', it really means

painting by using any light sources (eg.torch)...

-

Thru setting a long shutter speed, eg. 20 seconds, you can virtually paint

in front of the camera by swinging or waving

a light source with different types of colours,

just like you're painting a drawing...

As it's a long exposure technique, such trick is usually done in a dark room

or a place where it has poor lightings sorroundings...

In light graffiti, it's all about creativity...

this time, i've been more 'creative' by using my mouse as the light source

as the colour of the LED light in it changes with time...

Cost saving by without buying any equipment huh? lol.

And all my shots are been done in a dark room...

You can just get the best shot by try an error method...
So it really needs a lot of patient...

And for me, there's no right or wrong as it's an art...

Dont worry, when you get more and more exited in it,

you cant even notice that the time is passing by... And I did that... lol.

So, after been talking about this and that for so long,
here goes the photos...

-------------------------------Drawing circles with my LED mouse.

A piece of art?
-

Cosmic feel huh...

Thanks to my lil' ''nine colours LED'' mouse.

Kuala Lipis UpTown

It's already been November...

I didn't had much

chance to have photo shooting sessions lately...

Final Exam's comin' soon...

and I'm having the longest study week(s) ever...

3 weeks at home...

Anyway, there are still some pictures which

havent been posted here...

Well this time, i'm gonna

share some photos of the lil town of Kuala Lipis,

basically,

My lil hometown...

-----

The only Zero Milestone in Malaysia.

Kuala Lipis Uptown, once the capital of Pahang State.

Kuala Lipis Post Office, Since 1910.

-----

Mail boxes beside the post office.

An old car in front of the old shops, just like those good old days.

Cameron Highlands

It was during a family trip to Cameron Highlands a month ago...

With no exceptions,

Taking a camera in hands will always make a trip a great one...

And let's see what i've got this time...

Almost all photos are taken with the nikkor 50mm f1.8...

Those 'bokeh' are gorgeous! =)

Durian Sebatang, Teluk Intan

Finally...

shots that had been taken since almost a month ago

are managed to be uploaded here... lol.

Life's been busy and hectic...

anyways...

the photos are here! =)

That was during a trip back to my father's hometown,

Teluk Intan, Perak ; while Durian Sebatang is a small

jetty located beside the town of Teluk Intan.

At first, it was a cloudy afternoon.

That was one of my luckiest day.

because after been patient to wait,

the cloudy sky later on turned into a clear one,

leaving good lightings for me...

And at last, a beautiful sunset arrived,

giving me such a great opportunity to take the pictures of it.

I stayed there for the whole entire process of the

sunset untill the day finally turned dark.(approx. 3hours)

Awwh... should had been bringing a good tripod for long exposures trials!

But just forget about that cuz

it still feels great to capture all these shots thru hanheld method.

Viewing those amazing sunset scenes through the viewfinder

was one of the most breathtaking experience that i've ever had...

And here goes the pictures... =)
