Auto WB agak panas dan tidak menggambarkan suhu musim bunga yg sebenar, jadi saya gunakan Direct Sunlight WB.

Shoot secara RAW adalah selera saya. Lebih 95% daripada gambar-gambar yang diambil juga adalah melalui manual mode. Kenapa manual? Sebab saya boleh control lighting mengikut citarasa saya. Kenapa RAW? Sebab nak preserve detail dalam gambar, terutamanya untuk large printing.

No brainer, +EV adalah kunci untuk snow and winter shots. 

Agak sedikit terlambat disini kerana subjek sudah ke kanan sedikit. Manual control mencabar kepantasan untuk berfikir dan bertindak. 

Nailed it. Leica like colour. :)

Sebenarnya gambar ni sedikit gelap. Samada aperture f/5.6 sudah memadai, atau naikkan ISO ke 3200. I'll go for f/5.6, not because iso 3200 is unusable, but it's the lens' sharpest aperture.

ermm.. bukti shoot manual? :P

yang ni, bukan secara manual. 

What's the story, morning glory?

One of those weeks when you don’t have time to slow down and enjoy life. 

Spring in Northern Hemisphere

iPhone5

Spring is early this year, but here in UK it is still in the early phase.  Elsewhere in Europe, i believe the flowers are blooming. Here are some outtakes from my short visit to nearby garden. I'll put more photos after the Easter break (kalau ada masa nak update).

All of the images were SOOC. No post processing involved except the addition of watermark. The picture control was set to landscape, and voila! (p.s: Don't you envy this brilliant lighting on this part of the world? ;)

iPhone5: Relative comparison, so you'll get an idea how big the flower was.

Nikon D700: Majority of daffodils here are a few days old. 

Nikon D700: The temperature was a bit cold yesterday, 6ºC and windy.

iPhone5: And lastly, daisy.
