My first HDR

HDR means High Dynamic Range imaging. It works by combining 3 picture in different exposure into 1. For more info on HDR you can read at wikipedia here. There are tons of HDR processing software around the internet and the one i'm using is Photomatix as my HDR processing.

Below is my first HDR, picture below is the original picture before HDR processing is done.



As you can see the picture i took is kinda dull, plain and out of contrast. Its a noob photography by me. Using Adobe Photoshop to recreate 3 different exposure which is 1 over expose, 1 below expose and another is normal exposure and combine all the 3 picture using Photomatix to create a HDR image as below.



YEAH! processing is done and image above the HDR picture. You can see the picture is like animated which i purposely do and we can see a more detail texture on the Rhino skin. A fail picture become an increadible photo for collection. I will post more HDR picture when i have the time to do it..lol.

Penang Bird Park @ Seberang Jaya

Penang Bird Park is establish since 1988 and it was the first and largest bird park across Malaysia. Since it located not in the Penang island rather then in mainland, not much people visits the park  because of it's location. Consists of over 300 species of birds from all over the world.

Ok enough of the introduction, i've visit the bird park in 1st Feb 2010 and it's my first AND i'm from Penang itself. The bad part of the this bird park was most of the birds is inside a cage, so taking picture of them is kinda hard. Anyway, enjoy all the picture i've took during my visit's there.

Taiping Zoo @ Taiping Perak

30th Jan is Public Holiday for Malaysian to celebrate Thaipusam. But on this day i was in Taiping Perak to visit Taiping Zoo therefore there is actually no photo taken from me for the Thaipusam festival. I've never been to any zoo before and therefore i was actually happy when i was there in Taiping Zoo when touring the zoo with the free touring on a mini train for tourist.



Visitors is greeted with the 'Selamat Datang' sign or 'Welcome' to Zoo Taiping and Night Safari. There is 2 section for visiting the zoo taiping, 1 is during the day time and another is during the night which why they  call Night Safari. Some animal is active during night and some animal is active during day where you can enjoy both season if you stay a night at Taiping, and below is the picture of animal i took during my visits there.. enjoy

Penang Butterfly Farm is open in public on March 1986, suppose to be the first Butterfly farm across the tropical region. Consist of 120 species of butterfly and insects, a must visit place when visiting Penang.


This is the main entrance of the Butterfly Farm park.

Asam Laksa @ Air Itam Penang

My first Food blog lol, Asam Laksa is Penang 1 of favourite food (especially female lol). The Asam Laksa stall at Air Itam has been operating for many many years in the same exact location (on the way to Kek Lok Si Temple) on the Pasar road side. Location cleanliness is kinda bad because the stall is just beside the drain.

A must item for DSLR

YEAH, i got my Dry Cabinet, DSLR bag and Silica gel today. My BEGINNERS =.= equipment is almost complete. Now left is the external Flash which needed to make nice picture during low lighting. Else if using Internal flash, it's a gogo picture..lol.

DSLR need to be carefully taken care of, as like your 2nd wife. If the camera did not carefully taken care, for example leaving it on your room or cabinet, your camera lens will collect alot of dust and MOST important is the moisture or humidity in our country Malaysia is around RH70-80%. Fungus will appear in the lens if leave it for a very long time.



Silica Gel which can reduce the RH to lower and best to be kept it in our bags. The Silica Gel i bought is a recycle type as picture above. How it works, you see the little purple gel in the middle? If the gel turn pink, then you need to plug in to the socket to dry out the moisture, when the moisture has been completely dry the gel will turn blue. I bought it from the internet http://www.shashinki.com/ for RM49 + delivery to your door steps.
