Sunset dan ...

Ok reader sekalian, untuk kali ini masih lagi saya menceritakan tentang keindahan alam. Diharapkan ada di antara kalian tidak bosan dengan apa yang cuba dibebelkan. Buat masa sekarang ini saya banyak menghabiskan masa bersendirian dan menikmati keindahan alam. Maklumlah kan ada 2 Exhibition yang ingin sangat turut serta, jadi waktu sebegini banyak digunakan untuk mencari idea. Ya alam dan persekitaran banyak membantu dalam memberi ilham. Tahu kah anda, untuk mendapatkan idea, otak haruslah cergas. Udara bersih amat penting untuk kitaran oksigen ke otak dan menjadikan otak berfungsi dengan lebih cekap.

Gambar di atas itu waktu senja ketika matahari berlabuh pergi. Suasana pada waktu itu amat menarik dan kelam kabut dibuatnya. Apabila melihat keindahan alam, kita selalu bayangkan diri sendiri. Anda setuju?

Habis basah peralatan kamera dibuatnya untuk mendapatkan foto ini. Bersama saya Canon 40D lensa 17-40MM f4 L USM dan Cokin filter ND8, kesemuanya basah tapi terlalu mahukan semuanya tidak menjadi masalah. Apabila memikirkan diri sendiri maka kita puitis bila berbicara. Jadi untuk tajuk foto di atas ialah: “Hari ini aku hidup, foto upload ke server sesawang. Esok aku mati, amalan upload ke server maha pencipta.”

Keindahan Alam

Selemat bertemu kembali kepada semua pembaca blog FJ! tidak kira yang silent mahupun noisy. Baik-lah untuk entry kali ini, saya ingin bercerita tentang keindahan alam. Sebelum saya post entry ini, saya telah melakukan kerja post-production (PP) kepada gambar perkahwinan client tidak lama dahulu. Majlis yang berlangsung di sebuah perkangpungan nelayan banyak membantu dalam memdapatkan foto yang lebih kepada suasana hijau yang memcerminkan keindahan alam. Seperti gambar di atas, tidak lah seindah rupa kerana foto asal terdapat banyak sampah di permukaan sungai. Walaubagaimanapun ia tetap memberi impak kepada mata yang memerhati disebabkan suasana asal yang indah (di mata saya).

Jadi kita perlu memjaga keindahan sekitar dan jangan mengharapkan majlis penbandaran semata-mata. Pada pendapat saya, suasana yang bersih dapat membangkitkan lagi mood seseorang dalam melakukan rutin harian, riadah dan sebagainya. Jadi marilah kita menjaga alam sekitar, walaupun tidak banyak yang mampu dilakukan, cukupkan dengan hanya membuang sampah ke dalam tong sampah untuk menjamin keindahan.

Human Transformation

From a long decade we rush for a respect. In my eye this transformation it saw like yesterday. Old structure we leave it and change in order. Finally the real origin comes back.


i had no idea in what they do.


Old dam used to supply a water to old Chinese temple.


water stream at Lata Sedim, Kedah.


living mushroom.

Penang Historical Building

I had problem on my camera sensor. The scratch on my camera sensor is getting serious and produce a lot of effect. I hope this problem can fix as soon as possible, but the money is crucial thingy. Need to take a time for post production to remove scratch effect. this is how I'm waste my time. Sunday 17/1/2010 joined Fotomedia outing for historical building photowalk around Geogetown. This is some pictures that i get.


this is a roof of Hindu Temple, many replica with their own art.


The sun shining from a roof top give some nice flare effect.


This is my friends. Don't know why he pray at Chinese temple.


Unknown building, but the banner and graphic was nice.


This is TNB small window.

The Road Not Taken

Dear reader, you are recommended to read this poem till finish. Why? because it will give you the odd feeling sensation when take a look to the picture. HAHAHA :P

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Which way i could go, please tell me. (special thanks to Nuyui (click here) being model for this shot)


The long journey when family has been created.


Down Hill, beware of your self because it will let you down.


The way of illusion, should I stay or should I go?


If the road is dead, show me where is the right way to grave yard.

Penang Dragon Boat and Kids?

Went to Penang dragon festival at … . We arrive to that place at evening. Nothing too much to taken the picture cause of many of participant rest under canopy and that day was a hot day. Many of activity had finish already, so we just watched the boat parking and people loafed around. I’m just taken picture of landscape of the lake (Empangan Teluk Bahang). After stayed at there we head to QueensBay Mall. Same like before nothing to do and taken the picture. We founded a group of kids danced on the stage for unknown ceremony, and yes of cause, we taken kids portrait.

Look At Your Sky

The picture was taken in this year. All day we found nice clouds but never think to capture. This is a collection of sky taken in this year until this May. A lot of you know that the session turning to rain session recently. When the rain ended in the day, it will give a nice vivid color to object surface and texture. This is a good moment to capture the pictures.

To keep punch for the sky shadow on the water, I need to choose exposure correctly. Retouch by using Photoshop to get a cold effect rather than warm effect in original picture. A little HDR looks like HEHEHE.

This is sunrise behind the hill. This picture taken from low angle, need to beware because little mistake will fall into the sea. If my camera falls into the sea, what can I do? Buy a new 1? Of course it takes a long time to gain my money to reach camera budget.
