Outing With Canon Buggers @ I-City, Shah Alam @ 10/04/2010

Since everyone was talking about I-City, taking photos from I-City, well, maybe it's a nice place to camwhore? So one day, my boss Uncle Andrew invited all the Canon Buggers to this I-City @ Shah Alam as usual. It was Saturday, we all gathered at the Batu Tiga Toll and surprisingly, Joleen and I were the last car lol. The place was not hard to be found as you will see the signboard pointed to I-City along the Federal Highway after Batu Tiga Toll, just follow the direction.

Jalan-jalan, ambil gambar @ Sri Petaling Park @ 09/04/2010

One day I was home early, so I decided to go Sri Petaling park to jalan-jalan, ambil gambar.

A lonely tree in b&w..

IMG_6556_7_5_fused-edit
I walked up another side of the hill which facing IMU, kinda dangerous and quiet if you are alone.

IMG_6561_2_0_tonemapped
Need to practice more of making HDR zzz...

IMG_6564
It's going down...

IMG_6565
Whose ugly leg was that?

IMG_6576

IMG_6577
The lonely lake???

IMG_6581
Not really, at least had a turtle which was waiting for me :P

IMG_6588
Walked up to another side with your camera gears really helped to exercise your body.

IMG_6602_0_1_fused
Exposure fusion from photomatix. Looks more natural though..

Outing @ Tasik Puchong Prima @ 03/04/2010

I'm always a big fan of landscape and seascape when talking about photography. But today, neither of them, it's just a lake located @ Puchong Prima. I  heard about this lake some times ago through forum / photographers. Too bad I didn't catch the sunset due to the stupid cloud. The funny thing is, those fishermen asked me why did I come in evening instead of morning cuz they said they saw many photographers came to catch sunrise early in the morning. I was like "Eh? Aren't we facing west now?" Not sure about it, will definately come back again.

IMG_6467
I had difficulty looking for the lake on that day, when I was driving around, I saw a huge empty field and full of these electric cable. Then I wondered what was this dude trying to catch in the grass LOL. Just joking, there is a drain there. 

IMG_6475_3_4_tonemapped
Still not very good in making natural look HDR.

IMG_6476
What do you see?

IMG_6480-edit
There is 2 shooting spot at that place. The one I shot from was kinda dangerous as you need to walk downt the slope carefully, then you will see the big longkang at your back. The other side you to head to another side further, I will look for it once I decided to go again :P. Not to mention I love to shoot long exposure, just love it.

IMG_6481
The night was getting darker and darker, but the 3 Malay dudes were just like to fish at this time..

IMG_6482
Do you see a white house near the top right? There is the other spot that I wanted to go next time.

IMG_6483-edit
Make sure you don't go alone lol

IMG_6484
Look properly, it's actually 3 sticks instead of 2 :P

IMG_6492
1 min exposure already can see some noise. That time still didn't have GND filter, I tried black card for 30 secs for top part and 60 secs for bottom part. DOF was too shallow since I only used f8.

IMG_6493
As usual, Malaysia Boleh!

IMG_6494-edit
Yes, the exif stated it's 8pm, but those "fishermen" were still busy fishing lol

IMG_6496
The big longkang just behind me, watch out your step, if you fall, you will just slide into the lake lol

IMG_6498-edit
Last shot before leaving for dinner.
