Milky Way again…

this is not first time I shoot Milky, but this is my very first time see it clearly … it was just above us and we can use our eye to see it … am happy able to make this outing [my East Coast visit | April 20100] and thanks for my friends going with me (Shunfa, Jason, Siah, Seesy, Xiao Yi, Ismail, Norhana & Lio) . We had wonderful trip … and could be most memorable trip for me ….

My very 1st Milky was post before here

and here was picture capture few steps out from the homestay …

Simply look up … the Milky Way

5dm2 + SIGMA24F1.8

# Exposure Time (1 / Shutter Speed) = 10/1 second ===> 10 second
# Lens F-Number / F-Stop = 18/10 ===> ƒ/1.8
# ISO Speed Ratings = 1600

how to capture this, simply same how I shoot stars which I share before here… except we need higher ISO to get it clearly ……….

Update later

… Milky Way …

 

my East Coast visit | April 2011

since last year July till now, I had travel to Malaysia East coast for 4-5 times but it never slow me down to make another visit but it rather make me feel I should visit there more often as a Landscape photographer .. it is a “heaven”, I would say I only explore <5% location up to Kuala Terengganu from Kuantan…. 31 March – 4 April 2011, me with other 8 friends decided to make a quick trip from Kuantan –> Pantai Kemasik (sunrise) –> Kuala Terengganu (Pantai Pandak & Masjid Tengku Tengah Zaharah) –> Kota Bahru (meeting www.photomalaysia.com event, Sri Tujuh…) –> Dungun (star, sunrise ….)

 

short 5d4n trip, we traveled ~1500KM, managed to capture beautiful sunrise, sunset, reflection, stars …. and Milky way from 2 places …

it going to be slow to share all pictures .. but let’s start this thread and I will be slowly post up the pictures into Terengganu series.

but let’s me start with 1st capture at Pantai Kemasik …

... under the Starry sky ...

and another after sunrise shot before we continue our journey …

... different interest ...

Landscape : Will you go out for Photography while Monsoon Season ?

every year Nov -Jan , Peninsular Malaysia will have Monsoon season or we call raining season … some places of east coast of Malaysia always face flood issue after days raining … and most of the fisherman stop go out to sea due to the bad weather ….

Most of the photographer will get rest this period as normally the sky look cloudy … wave is too strong …. but I have the plan to shoot the wave, slow shutter … and if luck on my side then I can get strong wave hit the rock .. so  I went there 2 times 2010 for my wish …. even though we not seeing any sun at all for ~6 days trip but I still enjoy the strong wave … and beautiful places found (thanks Yusri, Azizi & CK Zinal for bringing us there…)

a quick capture how strong is the wave

even we missed out the beautiful egg yolk

but we still trying our best to get some slow shutter shots

cloudy day is good too

How Shunfa shooting a slow shutter in this type of environment … and video below show how he shoot slow shutter without filter holder 😀

there are few issue shooting in this type of environment

1. get ready be wet, get extra shirt, pants ….
2. protect your gear
3. solid tripod
4. look for stable ground (rocks) for tripod
5. temperature different cause Water vapor inside len

safety first ……..
