Good morning everyone! I've finally managed to complete the long-overdue trip video, which was premiered on PhotoJam sharing last night. Special thanks to the PhotoJam hosts Lee & Weitatt. Very special thanks to Arman Haron, Ust Othman Abdullah, Shaari Mat Saod, Izzuddin Harith, Sheikh Izham! Not to forget also, our guide Razi Jamit! #iceland #photographytrip #SONY #alpha #NurIsmail #SONYMalaysia #AlphaUniverseMY #GMaster #AlphaGuru
Alhamdulillah, today I've received a Flickrmail informing me that one of my landscape images was selected as the cover page for Rainbow of Nature Level 5 on Flickr. Please click at this link: Rainbow of Nature Level 5 : BLUE (P1-A4) | Flickr Have a nice day!   Hi everyone, thank you to all the 320 viewers who joined my sharing session last night. I hope I've given you some insights about milkyway photography from my travelling days. For those who missed the sharing session, I've uploaded the same (minus the minor technical glitches) on YouTube. Thank you for your support & look forward to the next sharing. Good day! The Sony DSC-RX10 IV is premium superzoom bridge-camera (DSLR-like form factor) with a 24-600mm equivalent F2.4-4 zoom lens and a 20MP 1"-type stacked BSI-CMOS sensor. This new sensor brings phase detect autofocus to the RX10 series for the first time, adding the depth-awareness that is important for focusing long lenses. The camera is also faster than its predecessor and can shoot at 24 fps with AF and auto exposure (compared to 5 fps). With this high feature of the RX10 camera, it is worth while to invest in the protection skin for it. KIWIFOTOS bring to you the KIWIFOTOS Protective Anti-scratch 3M Sticker Skin Film Cover for SONY RX10 IV & RX10 III cameras. Fixing it will take about an hour or so and you can use a tweezer, modelling pen knife & lint-free cloth to help you fit the stickers. The end product looks great!!!     #sony #sonymalaysia #RX10IV #RX10M4 #alpha #AlphaGuru #SAG #NurIsmailPhotography #KIWIFOTOS
The Sony α1 is the company's flagship interchangeable lens camera, with a 50MP sensor that can capture bursts of images at 30 frames per second and records 8K video. That sensor also helps power the α1's capable autofocus system, which comes with updated machine learning derived algorithms for detecting human faces and eyes, as well as the eyes of many types of animals and birds. With such a technological masterpiece, it is worth while to invest in a protection to the camera body. I am not too happy with the silicone type protection where it is quite difficult to access the buttons. I've researched the internet and come across this KIWIFOTOS Anti-Scratch Decoration Protective Skin 3M Film Cover Sticker for Sony Alpha α1 Camera body. The stickers will not leave any marks on the camera body and can be easily removed. Fixing it will take about two hours. Recommended that you use a tweezer, modelling pen knife & lint-free cloth to help you fit the stickers. The end product simply looks great!!!    #sony #sonymalaysia #a1 #alpha #AlphaGuru #SAG #NurIsmailPhotography #KIWIFOTOS
Having fun shooting the moon last night. Thanks to Tok Ki Pungut for reminding me to go out and shoot. This was shot with SONY a1 + SEL200600G + SEL14TC, on my Leofoto LS-324CEX carbon fibre tripod with Leofoto PG-1 tripod gimbal. EXIF: 840mm, f/9, 1/100 sec, ISO 100. The ability to crop aggressively for the a1 is simply superb. No sharpening & no noise reduction done here. Good day!  Full 50MP image (8,640 x 5,760).  The second image is cropped 50% (4,320 x 2,880). 12.4MP size.  The third image is cropped further 50% (2,160x1,440). 3.1MP.  The last image is cropped further at 50% (1,080x720). 0.7MP.

I was given another opportunity by SONY Malaysia to hold a SONY Alpha camera setting for birding workshop, jointly organized with Studio Zaloon. The workshop started at 3:00pm with the registration of the participants, followed by an introduction by SONY Malaysia's Shaiful Baker, followed by my sharing of the birding settings for SONY Alpha cameras till 4:50pm. Mr. Chin Yoke Fee was kind enough to join the workshop half way through. This session was mainly on the settings of the SONY Alpha cameras for bird photography, which covers the SONY a7 and a9 series, including the latest SONY a1 flagship camera. Here are some of the images from the session. Thank you all for joining!    #FullFrameLife #MySONYLife #sony #sonymalaysia #a1 #SEL200600G #SEL14TC #alpha #AlphaGuru #SAG #NurIsmailPhotography #madebyluminar #skylum #skylummalaysia #luminar #topazlabs #leofoto #pg1 #Fight4ourPlanet #DiscoverWithMYAlpha #DiscoverWithAlpha #AlphaUniverseMY

Today I was given the opportunity by SONY Malaysia to share my birding experience with the new SONY Alpha 1 flagship mirrorless camera on FB Live. The session was hosted by SONY Store Malaysia's Kenneth Lee and ran from 2:00pm until 3:00pm. Despite the limitations of the MCO, I've only managed to give the SONY a1 a run from April onwards until the Full MCO last May. The session started with a brief introduction about myself, the camera gears that I have used todate, some tips & tricks of using the SONY a1 and finally ended up with sharing the images taken from the SONY a1 with the SONY FE 200-600mm F/5.6-6.3 G OSS zoom lens. Thank you all who have join the session. There were 217 of you! I'll have more sharing next time once I can put the SONY a1 to its paces from birding, sports & landscape photography. Stay tuned! Here are some of the screen shotss during the event. Thank you.
