after long rest for Landscape photography, went for another quick long exposure, sunset and Milky Way shooting at Batu Pahat … and here few simple sample
– all picture use AV mode meter at same position
– just contrast , saturation add to each picture
1.without any filter
– obviously the top-right over expose without any filter use
2. use most standard GND filter than we recommended for here GND .9s
– sky exposure seem better after the GND even with little highlight
3. use RGND 2 stops
– the exposure seem more balance without highlight due to light concentrate on center of the frame
4. with RGND and 10 stops ND filters
– ND 10 stops to make the shutter speed much slower create different slow shutter effect (silky effect for this) . the calm and peace feel make the picture look different from the standard capture
Overall the GND/RGND is to balance the sky exposure with the foreground and ND can create different effect for composition.
finally back from another Photohunters outing 2016 May, Bali, Indonesia ..

– 4th stop need to pay RMB90 for the cable car to reach to the top of the park and the Minya Konka will look closer to us
– slow walk as the altitude >3000m after 4th stop

*** I will keep updating this post for all I capture and remember ……. and please stay connect with me 😀
a beautiful place that I want to make a visit for long, and manage to make a quick trip there May 2013…
a quiet village with beautiful beach … low light (mean good for astronomy) …. and few spots good for sunset, sunrise etc …
need transport as no transport in the town or not many… drive normal speed from Kota Kinabalu will require 1.5-2 hr to arrive Kuala Penyu …
few place to stay and we stay at Tempurung Seaside Lodge which serve good food, good service and good relax place if bring friend, family 😀 … but for photography require transport to drive little way out .. range 5-15km…
