Night View Seaside

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

Night photography is one of my favorite theme in photography. Why? Because we may achieve what cannot be seen with naked eyes. Despite all of the difficulties accompanying the process, the result usually astounding.

 

Planning is one of the main thing to be considerer before going for night photography. We may need to survey the area, earlier during daylight and try to imagine what to capture in the photo. However, in some cases, we may just 'bulldoze' if suddenly we realized an eye catching night view over and doing our best to capture the scene over the horizon with whatever gadget in hand.

 

The photos below were captured in that manner. I forgot to bring along my tripod during my visit, the most important tool in night photography. Therefore, I had to use whatever solid platform that I found within the surrounding as the camera platform. And those were the results that I got. Of course, without a tripod, my choice were limited.

 

Happy viewing....

Long exposure over calm water created mirror effect of the scenery in which hard to be seen with naked eyes

 

Thank you.

Night Works

 

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

 

Engineering and construction works were carried out to facilitate our daily life. Engineers and construction workers may have to work during odd hours as not to disturbed others, especially a few people whose hobbies were complaining and complaining at any opportunities they get.

 

However tough the works and the problems were, they have to resolve it within the time frame. At the end of the day, they have to deliver what being promised by a few people who sit higher....

  

That is the world we are living....

The Peaks

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

I am back! It is a long time since my last update in this blog. A bit busy lately.

The photos below were taken a few weeks ago while I was visiting Nepal as part of Malaysian delegates. The visit was arranged by Chartered Institution of Highways & Transportation (Malaysian Branch) and Malaysian Highway Authority as part of collaboration between agencies from Malaysia and Nepal, as well as promoting technologies in highway construction. One of the attractions in Nepal were its series of mountain ranges, including Everest Himalayan Range where the Mount Everest is located.      

Part of the activities was visiting the Phewa Lake of Pokhara. From the lake, we saw the mountainous ranges (Anapurna Himalayan Range) at the background creating outstanding view of the lake, especially during calm weather when the sky is clear and so does the lake. The beautiful view of the mountain range will be reflected on the surface of the lake creating a serene view.

The cloudy sky during my visit prevented me from taking the photo that I wanted. However, the view was still beautiful on its own way.   

Please enjoy the view...

Bunga Api - Aidilfitri 2014

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

I am back!

Wish to share the following photos of my son playing fireworks or we called it 'bunga api' in the nights prior to Idulfitri 2014.

It is hard to photograph the children playing with those 'bunga api' or mini fireworks due to lack of available light as well as lack of control of the children. Flash photography will not works in this environment as the flash will eliminate the beauty of the 'bunga api'. Therefore, have to fine tune the skills for low light photography and wished for some luck.

Please enjoy the photos...  

Thank you.

From Day to Dusk

Assalamualaikum w.b.t.

In photography, we can create different scenes of the same single subject. It depends on the lighting. Different scenes can be obtained when photographed at different hour of the day. Photographs during bright sunny day will give different result as compared to overcast day, or during night time.

The following fishing platform located at Tanjung Harapan, Klang. I photographed the structure at different hours of the day, and the results are different scenes in which each had its own uniqueness.

Enjoy the photos...   

Photographed around  9.00 am, with the sun shined from behind the trees canopy. As the water subsided exposing muddy shoreline...

Closer view of the fishing platform. I love the silhouette effect and  its reflection on the shallow water.... 

6.00 pm, when the sun about to reach the west horizon....

Several minutes after sunset with cloudy sky and water level risen.....

Half an hour after sunset......

Thank you.
