worth the risk ?

just back from Semporna, Sabah… a beautiful place where I think all photographer will love it ….

thanks our Bintulu friends share this outing with us and my gang to make this happen .. a wonderful trip even not much pictures but a trips with many good and fantastic memories …

we looking for opportunity to shoot the nightscape and sunrise on the island and managed to arrange one on 3rd day of our trip .. we decide to go to a small Island (recommended by the boatman) to have beautiful Milkyway and sunrise shot …. so we have to start leaving from ground 330am … and with small boat (that carry max 6ppl) toward a “small Island” that took us ~1hr ++ to reach … and it is almost TOTAL DARK while we travel … !!!! and it was rain too … it was so scary while we traveling to the island .. … and no one is dare to repeat 2nd trip on next 2 days … … think back .. how could we manage to travel with small boat 1-1.5hr at total darkness … with strong wave !!!!!

and the 1st picture I capture …

still remember how dark when we travel to the Island … SCARY !!!!

spend >10 minutes to PP one MACRO picture .. :(

yes .. I always tell my friends, my picture have minimum PP especially macro pictures .. but I still spend 10 minutes on this picture …..

actually the Post Processing (PP) only spend 1-2 minutes .. but to remove the sensor dusts spots… took ~12-13minutes …

see .. how much dusts spots I need to handle !!!

for me … dusts is something really killing .. especially for landscape and macro photography .. hope one day .. camera manufacturer can have better solution for us rather we sit infront of PC for >10 minutes !!!!
