Hiking Bali

Bali, a water sport paradise as well as it tempting nightlife. Well, we’re not going for the nightlife yet the water sport.

Yes, it is hiking. For this trip, mainly we’re going for hiking. Hiking really test your perservarence as well as your meantality. We conquered it.

Thanks to Nasta be our 24/7 tour guide. Otherwise, I think we will really lost in Bali. (Can you imagine most the roads are so so so narrow just allow one car drive and without road signage).

I shall not bore you with my word, enjoy the photo!!! ;)

Chinese Garden

Knock off from workplace aound 6 evening. Dark cloud on the sky, felt going to rain but this is not an excuse for not going out photo-shoot. Carry the tripod, prepare the camera, BATTLE carry on!! ;)

Flyer & Helix Bridge

Carry a tripod at the little rainy evening. This is the photoshoot I felt I take the least photo ever. Mostly I have been shooting at Esplanade at my previous album. So most photo I am only focus on the Flyer and Helix Bridge.

Okay, just let the photo do the talking. ;)

Marina Barrage

I am a big fan of Night Photography.

I still remember what really inspired me is the photo I took at Vietnam while backpack overthere. That kind of photo generally called ‘Light Trail Photography’. Put in simple, the ‘Light Trail’ effect is simply using long shutter speed to achieve.

This album happens just after a heavy downpour. It is the downpour create the dramatic sky colour which it become a great enhance to the photo. I believe that be a success landscape or cityscape photographer, you must understand sky or cloud play an important part in your photo-shoot journey.

For this album, the rain is just a coincidence. I mean a PERFECT coincidence to me. :)

Lens Hood

Basically, there are two major type of lens hood.

1)Petal Lens Hood
2)Round Lens Hood

So what is the purpose for having a lens hood in front of your lens??

The answer is simple, it is to prevent light from hitting the front lens element from the sides,thus reducing contrast and creating lens flare. Beside that, it also act as a protection to the lens.

Sometime, lens flare could be a great enhance to your photo. But, it also could damage the feel of whole photo. Its all up to own perspective.

What it look like:


I took this shot at my first album. And i found out this problem when browse through at photoshop. After that, i was going to camera shop to find compatible lens hood to my D90.
One piece of petal lens hood is around 40 to 60 buck which to me is expensive, i go to another shop and they told me usually lens hood are come with the lenses.....i am so lucky that i never buy that lens hood. Thanks to the uncle who telling me. :)

My Very First Photoblog!! ;))

I had used Adobe Dream Weaver to design the webpage for past few day. End up, I using blogger template by one hours to build up this blog. I learn a lesson from these few day, get the right person to do the right job. :)

Back to topic, my first photo album was born in May this year. I still remember I am carry a sling bag with full of books and a camera bag with tripod. After photo sessions, I whisper in my mind that I would never photo-shoot with a bulk bag again, ever.

The reason I pick up photography are simple. 
First, catch the every single precious moment around me. 
Second, photo record the path you walked. (Human are forgetful)
Lastly, i believe photo does tell thousand words.:)
