just like this picture ? a beautiful morning … but my gang (shunfa) cannot be here due to car broke down while coming …
Reverse GND …
beside GND, CPL, Big Stopper .. another filter that always with me is Reverse GND … and I am using Singh-ray for quality capture (it produce very less color cast as Lee Filter do)
when this filter been use ? (many ask) … as dusk/dawn time the sun always stay near horizontal level which make near horizontal level over expose and make details lost ….
horizontal near sun area lost details due to the overexpose and not able to rescue by the GND filter …
so with the GND help … I can balance the horizontal level exposure and recover some details as shown
hope this simple share will clear … most of the question from my friends .. “when RGND need ? ”
few more sample of RGND capture
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 ….
nothing wrong but it look not too attractive overall … but I will still capture 50/50 if I feel I have no choice … 😀
do you sensitive enough to yours surrounding ?
while walking, driving do you monitor your surrounding ?
this was capture while we driving real fast toward down south early in the morning .. I make an emergency stop after I saw this …
how we shoot close …
I shared how I shoto wave yesterday … How close will you go ?
but then it is also good to learn .. “run fast fast”
as this
or let’s see the movie 😀
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 ?
thanks Erica for few capture how I capture the wave
and one of the picture capture …..
so how close will you go ?
as close as this ?

Pantai Sri Tujuh, Tumpat, Kelantan
one of the stop of my previous visit to East Coast for details click here
never been a place so beautiful before, saw a clear Milky way while I reach … and it is like total mirror when the light is out … nothing I want to capture except try to show the beautiful and perfect reflection (someone is walking in the river …so actually not so calm while I shoot this)
even I only spent ~2hours there… I would rate this one of the best Landscape Photography spot for Malaysia .. the calm sea water with perfect reflection with angle toward ~135 degree south toward North west …. can do perfect fisherman life shooting, sunrise, salt water reflection …. I am sure I will be there again very soon ……….
milky through nake eye
– was using black card method/finger to shoot this where share it here
and the beautiful of the reflection
and will share more Kelantan pictures here
Patient to wait …
it is always difficult to have what you wish to have in frame (except we make the story to capture ….)
A good example, I was looking at the beautiful reflection on beach
*** above picture is ~1.5minutes after picture below but it look about same before too
and what I have with the “magic minute” moment
with the wave, I have no choice to capture it as leading line instead what I original plan to have the beautiful reflection … so do not change yours position even something change but we make the change into our final output …..
**** it is always difficult but we still try our best to capture the beauty of the nature … enjoy ……
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 …
and another after sunrise shot before we continue our journey …
stay tune for more update pictures from beautiful East Coast, Malaysia
