Sometimes mud can be beautiful

This is the second time I’ve been to Pantai Teluk Molek, Penang. The first time I went without any filter on and taken a lot of useless waste of time picture. This time I’m there with Hitech filter on and this is what I got, a golden mud..lol. Even mud can looks beautiful in sunset. I shot at this specific location because I like the detail of the mud glowing from the suns colorful sky. The tree at the middle of the oceans makes it more dramatic. I will be there again sometimes this week because last week the sky is horrible, no sun and cloudy from day to night..lol. Well then see you guys again.

Sunset at Hard Rock Hotel Penang, 2011

I have wait and wait and wait for my Hitech Filter I order from http://www.formatt.co.uk to arrive and finally it arrived at my door step after more then 1 month. Well their reason for being this late is because there’s too much demand around the globe and they have to expand their manufacturing capacity. Let’s look at their reply below;
Due to the increase in demand for the Hitech range of filter products, particularly the new Pro Stop Range, we have been experiencing longer supply times over the last 6 weeks.
The manufacturing department was partially closed for two weeks in August while essential building work was carried out to expand our manufacturing capacity. We are now fully operational and are looking to complete all orders upto 12th August by next week. All other orders received will be completed and shipped by the end of September.
We hope our customers understand that we are working as hard a possible to reduce the delivery times and are aiming to resume normal delivery service by the end of September. Thank you for your patience.
Anyway since it’s already arrive, I won’t border to complain anymore because they really made good filter. I must say it is much better then Cokin filter in terms of color cast. In this picture I use 2 GND filters 0.6s and 0.9s to get slower exposure and increase the saturation on the back. I like how the foreground beaches and the colors the cloud reflect into the sea, and guess what, I got my first Magic Hour shot and I really satisfy with it. Not regretting anything for buying this awesome filter from Hitech.

Sunset’s at Pulau Aman Jetty 2011

It has been raining for weeks and there is no suns shining at all. Well today is my lucky day then, the sun finally out from the cloud and for this moment, I bring out my welding glass to try out. Well the result’s not bad at all in Black and White. If I try to turn it to original colors, it’s not so pretty. That’s because welding glass turns out is green in color when shot. So the best is convert it into BnW.

The picture above is shots in 25s /F5.6 with 200iso.

Sunrise at Tun Dr Lim Chong Eu Expressway

Yes, I have return to the very first location where I first shot sunrise. This time I have some help with this shot, borrowed my friends ND 4 Filter to have this beautiful shot. When I was there I was surprise to see more then 10 people there shooting at the same spot. But there were shooting high up where I climb down the below to have a lower angel shot. I’m quite satisfy with this shot which sharp and nice saturation. I hope the next time I come will be high tide instead of low tide like this and my previous shot.

Sunrise at Pantai Shamrock, Batu Ferringhi 2011

Yes!, the month of April is finally over, a month of macro shot and here comes the new month May..haha. Anyway lets get this crap talking over..lol

Took this picture at Pantai Shamrock, Batu Ferringhi. The weather not so great but I’m happy with the shot (for a newbies like me lol). This picture is perfected with a borrowed Cokin ND 4 Filter. Which is why I’m able to get the smooth sea and some detail at the cloud. Also attach is the CPL filter to increase the saturation. A minor adjustment done on Lightroom 3 and also Photoshop CS5. This place is famous for swimming and by evening people will come pouring in for a swim at the beach haha. I will definitely will come again to shoot for this location as I’m not quite satisfy with it..lol. Anyway that’s all, will share another Sunrise again soon. See ya and thanks for visiting.
