rule or view ?

while I started my landscape, many of forum friends had share with me all the “guidelines”/”rules” e.g. 2/3 horizontal line …etc …. appreciate that and I learn fast from everyone inputs….

as for now, I trying to share as much that in my mind to my gang, friends, workshop participants ..etc …. all the “guidelines” but I always emphasize .. while we trying to think and follow the “guidelines” , we can still capture what we love to capture as snapshot or follow own preference as this will make us enjoy the photography … rather stand there without any shutter press even the view is great ….

e.g. of this … I can’t make any good decision while the light (cloud on left top) moving real fast and if I still move myself to look for better angle then I definite will miss this beautiful sky …. there are nothing at foreground too …. if I make foreground 2/3 ….. so I decide to capture the view to share with other rather just view this myself ….

... interset | Kemasik Beach ...

nothing wrong but it look not too attractive overall … but I will still capture 50/50 if I feel I have no choice … 😀

 

cleaning kit for my filters

How I clean my filter .. I normally need to use plain water to clean it and use some fiber optic clother …

but finally I found Lee filter do have their cleaning kit .. and I bought mine and have some extra for sale …

how close will you go ?

was away for few days for Jul-Aug Nightscape and Correct Exposure workshop and thanks all for this success workshop + outing ….

I didn;t shoot a lot except last day while I saw my lovely wave … and thinking of how close every can go toward the wave splash … and am happy almost everyone got “wet”

and while I was there… ask again myself and other .. how close will you go and because of beautiful pictures will you go close to rish your gear for wet and malfunction ?

more Terengganu pictures

Terengganu Series

simply a photo ?

many of us understand before we press the shutter , we should plan for technical/art compo, horizontal, 2/3 …. etc ….

but there is something more important for landscape photographer

UNDERSTAND the NATURE and PLAN for the shot …

for landscape lover, it is not just photography but there are more to understand/know … e.g. tide, direction, timing, weather … etc ….

if you want to be serious then start ask yourself

1. must facing east for sunrise ?

2. is good to shoot this at low tide ? or high tide ?

3. what’s the tide level at beach near by ?

4. what time moonrise/moonset/sunrise/sunset

5. are all countries having same sunrise/sunset/moonset/moonrise time ?

etc ?????

e.g. are these plan or just shot what I see while I was there ?

Pantai Jeram high tide

 

tide coming up slow ...

 

no moon light - Milky Way

 

so do you think planning is important for a landscape photographer ?

 

… Mushroom collection – 1 red and yellow …

so far I never serious on mushroom even a real beautiful glowth while dark …

Cendawan Bulan

 

but while I meet up Nature photographers from Bintulu .. (their patient to shoot mushroom just have my full respect) … I think I will do more mushroom outing after the Bintulu trip

... stand out ...

my first photography trip to Sarawak – Bintulu

finally I was step into abeautiful Sarawak after long waiting .. I was invite by BINTULU VISUAL-ARTS COMMUNITY (BVC) to share some knowledge on MACRO and Landscape and have a Mega Outing …

even I only there for 2 day for BVC and found you guys rock … patient and the effort to group all the people are well done …

and I spend another 1.5 days with my long known Bintulu friends (Goh, Tony, Ai Ting ….. ) and most of their friend came out for meet up and we went a dark place for star, long house, jungles for mushroom adventure … and your patient on photography especially mushroom, nature got my FULL respect ….
