Gambar Kesayangan Hamba
This is my assignment to capture the image of Gunung Panti and Waterfall of Kota Tinggi, to be framed into a reasonable size and to besubmitted to Jabatan Perhutanan as a souvenier to the Menteri Besar and Pengarah.
After a few times of 'climbing' up and down their office, they have then decided....
******
What is so special about Gunung Panti? If you check out the above picture clearly, you will find out that somekind of chin (dagu) was formed at the top of that hill.
It does look like a damn big nipple to me.
My very initial intention was to capture this mountain/hill with the lighting of around 4.00-5.30 PM as the lighting was expected to be yellowish and mild, enough to light every inch of the picture that I'm going to capture. The sunset will face the hill from my side of capturing this photo.
When I arrived there at 2.30PM, the weather was bright but hrash thus the result was not as I desired. Rain poured all over me (thank god I managed to save all my gadgets) at around 3.45 and I waited, waited, waited and prayed so that the raining will stop soon.
At around 5.40PM, I was about to give up as I started to engine, the rain stopped and I happened to be able to capture this not so nice but very rare picture...
This very rare view of Gunung Panti of Kota Tinggi, Johor was captured after I've waited for almost 3.5 hours from 2.30PM to 6.00PM. Submitted.
Captured on November 16, 2006 at 6.05PM, ISO-100, F/32, 1.3s and 50mm focal length.
This picture of waterfall was captured on a bright daylight but wet! Submitted.
ISO-100, F/22, 1/5s, 25mm focal length
All image was polarized using a CPL.

Polarizer.
These two shots were taken with and without polariser. Pardon the sharpness as it was really hard to keep up with the speed pace of those red ants!
This shot, which was taken without the polarizer has obviously captured the reflection of the lights on that wooden plank. I was facing the light and the color was as eaxctly as how it is supposed to be, boring and dull.
Same shot, taken with a Circular Polarizer on. The reflection of the light on the wooden plank has been eliminated, even not completely. The color has been more vivid and nicer.
Wondering why the butt are sharper than the head?
Yeah I like the butt more than the head :p..
My bad.. my bad...

Macro + Sillhouette (Gunung Panti)
I went to Gunung Panti, Kota Tinggi last Thursday for an assignment with the Forest Department. They took me into the jungle and surprisingly, inside the jungle, they plant with Oil Palm. Very the Magic.
I was supposed to capture the scenery of Gunung Panti. As I end up going into the jungle with them, time to bend and shoot!
Anyway, I tried a few things inside, especially macro. But this time, it's kind of more challenging as it was very rainy and windy. I tried my very best to capture them as they were like waving to me,
"Snap me if you can...!"
I have no idea what the hell was this fruit named. This is among 10-12 unsuccessful shots.
In a very low light, I found the same thing I found during my last visit to Gunung Panti. The wind was blowing from left and right and too bad, this is the best shot i can get. Looks like a bunch of fruits eh. hehe.
I took out the last visit's shot just to add on this entry. I've edited the JPEG file using the Camera Raw facility in CS3 to produce a better rendition of the colors. Looks much better isn't it?
This is a spider web. Taken direct to the sky light unabling me to capture the web. A slight tilt to the leaves of the trees enabled me to snap the prey on the web nicely!

It's been a while..
Yeah. I've not been updating since September 11th. For almost 2 moths, i've been so busy with a lot of things.
A lot of recent project and one of them is 'Raya with Nurul & Sofea'. It was a fun project and it inspire me to catch on more techniques on both capturing the moment and post-editing.
Multiphoto look from just one photo using smart object in Photoshop CS3.
Nothing much here except for the vignette effect using the camera RAW. You can even use JPEG with camera raw.
The technique of blemish removal.
What do u think?
