Kuala Lumpur Sunset from Bukit Antarabangsa

15/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Last Friday (11/1/2019), I was invited by a friend to photograph the Kuala Lumpur skyline at sunset, from a location on Bukit Antarabangsa, Ampang.  The area is quite secluded and we even encountered with an adult wild boar nearby.  I didn't even put the filter on, fearing that the wild boar would come running to where we were.

​The view is quite unique where right in the centre of the frame, there's a tree that resembles a bonzai tree from afar, adding character to the whole composition.  I will definitely return to this location when the weather is better.

Here are some of the images captured at the location:

SONY α7RIII, SEL70200G, 135mm, f/16, 0.8 sec, ISO 100, single exposure, no filters used.

Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah, Shah Alam

12/1/2019

1 Comment

 
Last Saturday, I had the pleasure of joining some fellow landscape photographers trying our luck to shoot sunrise on the bridge leading to Sultan Salahudin Abdul Aziz Shah Building in Shah Alam.  At least 10 of us made it, and thankfully, we managed to savour the beautiful and colourful sunrise here.  The last time I shoot here was back in 2015.
Picture
SONY α7RIII, SEL1635GM, 24mm, f/16, 20 sec, ISO , Single exposure, NiSi Landscape CPL + NiSi GND .9 Soft + NiSi ND8 filters used. Really impressed with dynamic range of SONY α7RIII. The starburst from the SEL1635GM is equally impressive.
Picture
SONY α7RIII, SEL1635GM, 24mm, f/8, ISO 400, HDR 9 exposures, NiSi Landscape CPL + NiSi GND .9 Soft + NiSi ND8 filters used. Very close comparison to single exposure from the SONY α7RIII.
Picture
SONY α7RIII, SEL1635GM, 24mm, f/11, ISO 400, NiSi Landscape CPL + NiSi GND .9 Soft + NiSi ND8 filters used. HDR 9 exposures.
Picture
SONY α7SII, Laowa 12mm, f/8, 0.6 sec, ISO 400, NiSi CPL filters used. This image is part of my timelapse sequence.
Picture
SONY α7SII, SEL24105G @ 24mm, f/8, 1/60 sec, ISO 400, NiSi CPL + NiSi RGND .6 filters used. This image is part of my timelapse sequence.
After shooting from the bridge, I took a short drive to Taman Tasik Shah Alam for a view of the masjid with lake reflection.

SONY Focus Group Interview 2019

9/1/2019

0 Comments

 
Today I attended the SONY Focus Group Interview (FGI) 2019, by invitation of SONY Malaysia, specifically for users of SONY α9, α7RIII and α7RII, as well as SONY's GM lenses to share our experiences.  Unlike last year where the FGI was carried out at the SONY Centre @ The Curve, this time around, the interview was carried out at TGI Friday's at The Curve, Mutiara Damansara.  ​I had the opportunity of meeting people from different backgrounds and photography genre and was really honored to have met Yamasaki-san, the new marketing GM for SONY Malaysia at the end of the FGI session.

The FGI was facilitated by Moses Wong throughout the two-hour session.  Among the highlights and areas of concerns raised by the participants are:
  1. The GM lenses are by far, the sharpest lenses for the SONY α9 and α7 series cameras;
  2. The high pricing strategy and availability for the GM lenses. Some participants have to wait for months before they can get a hold on their GM lens;
  3. Unavailability of the PlayMemories Camera Apps on the latest SONY α9, α7RIII and α7III.  Bring them back!;
  4. Lack of SONY Workshops for Landscape (travelling, cityscape, scenery, seascape, night photography) as currently, most of the workshops were on portraiture and macro photography;
  5. Weather-sealing and robustness of the SONY α9 and α7 series cameras;
  6. Inconsistency issues on the LCD panel between SONY α7RIII and SONY α7III; 
  7. Competitors playing catch up with their latest offerings on their mirrorless cameras and the corresponding lenses;
  8. Propose for a strategy for participants, who attended SONY Workshops, to purchase cameras and lenses at a discounted price;
  9. SONY Service Centre has been improving over the years. Now, relatively much better then Nikon and Canon Service Centres;
  10. The proposed introduction of SONY Professional Services (similar to NPS and CPS) is welcomed;
  11. SONY Malaysia to consider loan units for those who send their cameras or lenses for repair; and
  12. Perhaps the future FGI can start at 7:30pm to make way for Muslim participants to perform their Maghrib prayers.

No group photo this year, probably due to the number of participants.  Hope SONY Malaysia will listen to us for the upcoming firmware updates as well as workshops.  Looking for more collaboration from SONY Malaysia in the future.

Thank you.

Happy New Year 2019 to all!

Had to make a last minute change last night from shooting the fireworks at KLCC Park (the open parking lot next to Menara Exxon Mobil) to Residensi Pandanmas 2 apartment in Kampung Pandan, due to time constraints.  Thanks a lot to my friends who shared the location.


Here is an HDR image of the location where we shoot the fireworks.

​Hopping for a better year this year, both in my career and spiritually. Take care everybody!
