Kerteh Trip

I just come back from another outstation, but this time required me to go to Kerteh, Terengganu. I have been here for many times, more than 10 visits I guess because this is the centralizer of Oil and Gas Industry especially for Petronas. The journey is about 3 hours and half and I am going here by driving. I prefer to go by driving because I can go anywhere I want to take some picture. After the site visit, in the evening – I just drive nowhere and try to see what kind of panorama that I can capture and it is really fun and exciting to be able to witness everything. This time, I will show you more photos. 🙂 enjoy!

Comparison

For this entry, I want to show you the comparison of the pictures that I took randomly, just in front of my house. Just at this moment, the color and the atmosphere is so lovely. I know that I should not make comparison of the Fujifilm XT10 with Xiomi Yi Action camera but I just want to show how the comparison.

The first three pictures here is taken by Fujifilm Xt10 and I have done some editing by using the Adobe Lightroom.

and now, these three are from Xiaomi Yi Action camera. I noticed that there are some vibrations when capturing camera and I know I should take the picture using wifi and capture it using my phone. But still, I do love the results especially the last picture.

The reason why I bought Xiomi YI Camera action is because I just want a camera that can help me take video during my travel to the world, but maybe also because I want to try it in water. But, I also love it because its wide angle. So, that is the reason.

I really want to take some pictures and I miss it but the weather won’t allowed me because the crazy haziness. Hopefully, the weather will be okay next few weeks and this week, I am going for another outstation in Kerteh and maybe I can try taking some pictures later.

Potret

For this entry, I want to fill it with the picture of my anak buah – niece and nephew and I was able to spent four days in my hometown after finished my job in Kimanis. It is very hard to take picture of them because need to controlled them very well and it is hard to do. Also, I decided to go with black and white – which most of the picture and some in the original color.

No Way Milky Way!

During my last trip to Sabah, I was thinking of the milky way that I have planned to capture. I even have bought a tripod for me to capture the milky way and doing the stargazing. However, during my stay there in Sabah – there cloud has clouded the sky and of course, the haze. So, I only able to take few pictures like sunsets, sky and star. Pretty satisfied with it and I love it very much although I don’t have the milky way. Maybe I can try later again and focus for another. I want to do time lapse again. I miss it but my trial of Adobe Lightroom has expired. I don’t know whether I can use it again and I am already fall in love with it. I still have videos from out trip to ShanShui to edit, of course and I will do it this weekend.

Random Thoughts

I have been very busy and still, I don’t have times to update my wordpress. It is been a week plus I think and I just come back from job at Kimanis, Sabah and after that – I went straight to my home for EidulAdha, celebrating with them. Also, I have my new toy – Xiaomi Yi Action Camera and what I can say, worth the money. I will show you some videos and photos later, in the next next next entry and as for right now, I am travelling directly from Tawau to Johor for training here in MMHE. What a journey I have these last two weeks. Here is some random thoughts about my trip so far with the pictures. Tanglung is one of my favorite subject, I just love how the canvas of the taglung is highlighted in the dim light of the lamp. The flower is called as kemboja if I am not mistaken but it is so white and yellow, yet the smell is so nice. Caught a picture of coal – which is a shadow subject on the sands. A small ship – sampan which is aside on the beach and I just love the rural area of Sabah because it made me feels close to my hometown. Same as like the coal, found a reef on the sand and taking a picture of it – I just like to highlight how the texture of the reef amazes me at the same time. The man and the horse is my favorite because I just love how the black and white picture (almost) can convey the message and the beautiful reflection of its and the background also amazing. Last but not least, the lamp in my room – I just want to learn how to take picture of person in the low light. Maybe an ethnic or foreigner will be good.

in front of my house..

I can’t believe my eyes for the view that I can take in front of my eyes. With the haze take over of the views, it is very hard to see this decent views anymore. But these few days, it is raining a lot lately and luckily, washed away the haze. Today, I witnessed very beautiful scenery and I don’t forget to take picture with my beloved xt10. With the elements existed such as pool of water, orange’s sky – so beautiful. Just perfect.

Actually, I should be sleeping now because tomorrow, I need to go to Sabah for another outstation and of course, I am going to take lot of picture and I have ready my xt10 and the tripod as well. I want to take sunset picture as well and hopefully, have time to finish everything because I am planning to go back to my hometown this week. Wish me luck and please enjoy the picture as well. Basically, all pictures are the same – just I took it at the different times.

time lapse trial #1

Since I will be outstation next week to Kota KInabalu, Sabah – you know that the beaches are very beautiful because I have been there few times and of course, I only have my iphone 5 to capture the sunset and sunrise of beach view near the hotel that I stay. But, this time – I am going to try to take time lapse for the sunrise and sunset but before that, I want to try and do a little test first before do the amazing shot of the view.

The one thing that I love of having camera is I have a lot to learn and study and it is a fun thing to do. To explore everything on what the mirrorless camera can offers. So many and that is why I am never get bored with my xt10. So, today is Malaysia’s Day and it is declared as public holiday and I decided to do some time lapse, not very far from my house – just outside my room and I want to shoot the cloud, building ad trees and hopefully it turns out well. For this shoot, I take 120 frames for every 30 seconds because from what I read, it is advisable to used 30 seconds as the interval for taking cloud movement.

So, here is the result and the editing is done by using adobe lightroom 5.

Street Photography

This is one of the art of photography that I really need to learn and do well. Because although it looks easier, but it doesn’t. To do this, you really need to have the art of taking street photography. For today, after I finished my job which is happen finished around 8.30am, I went to Shah Alam for taking some street mural arts. There is a walkway for passenger and they filled it up with arts, all kind of arts. To be able to witness it just on the walkaway, the pictures are awesome. The arts are awesome. I managed to take some picture and this time, I play with the water on the floor (lopak) which I got ot played with the reflection. I think I want to take more pictures like that.

KLCC

Just this week, I was able to pay some visit to KLCC and I am lucky because I am able to see the KLCC from another side. Actually, I have been here for many times – just before that, I still haven’t bought my fujifilm XT10 yet but this time, I have it and why not to shoot KLCC from my perspectives. I don’t have that many shots but this is what I got and I decided to go with black and white.
