It was a rather gloomy day today, but that didn't dampen the spirits of about 18 participants of ASFON WP outing this morning at Tasik Shah Alam. As usual, I had two setups: my SONY a7RIII + SEL1635GM as my main setup and SONY a7SII + SEL1224G for my timelapse. My sincere thanks to those who made it this morning. Special thanks to En. Shamsul Kamal Zakaria and ASFON WP for inviting me to this outing and look forward to the next outing. Many thanks to brother Radzi and Salim for capturing these BTS images. We adjourned for breakfast at Restoran Ceria in Section 3 area.      SONY a7RIII, SEL1635GM, 20mm, f/8, ISO400, HDR 7 exposures. Post processing in Adobe Photoshop CC and Luminar 3. #nisi #nisimalaysia #nisiglobal #sony #gmaster #asfon #asfonwp #leofoto #nurismailphotography

Hello everybody! Received an invitation by ASFON WP to join their sunrise outing at Masjid Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah in Shah Alam this weekend. I'll be representing NiSi Malaysia at the event and will be giving some tips, experiences and demonstration on using NiSi optical filters. Stay tuned for any updates!   KL’s River of Life Just Got Listed as World’s Top 10 Best Waterfronts By UK’s Independent. The river which surrounds Masjid Jamek Sultan Abdul Samad, the oldest mosque in Kuala Lumpur, was a part of the River of Life project that was launched by the former government in 2012. I had a chance to shoot at this location on 5 March 2019 accompanying my good buddy Dr. Shaharudin Abdullah from Kuala Terengganu and brother Norani Ismail. I parked my car at NuSentral and took the Rapid KL LRT to Masjid Jamek Station. We were there till about 8:00pm before we adjourned for Maghrib prayers at Masjid Jamek. All the shots were taken with SONY a7RIII with the SEL1635GM lens, on the Leofoto LS-284C and LH-40 ballhead. I'll be posting the EXIF to these imagres soon. Thank you!      I had the opportunity to travel to Hong Kong together with my family from 29.03.2019 until 02.04.2019. It was supposed to be a backpacker-style holiday with one of the travel agents from Malaysia. We stayed at Sai Ying Pun area on the 1st day, then moved to Tsim Sha Tsui area on the 2nd day onwards. Travelling around Hong Kong was easy with the MTR, a comprehensive and efficient public transportation system for Hong Kong. Throughout the trip, the weather was not too kind to us. It rained most of the nights and cloudy. Thank God that only on the last morning before we fly back to Malaysia did we have slightly good weather, worth for me and my friend to travel up to The Peak and to the Lugard Road lookout point to capture the beautiful skyline of Hong Kong and the moving boats and ferries in Victoria Harbour. I'm in the midst of planning a small group of photographers to Hong Kong in November 2019. Stay tuned!  Blue hour sunset at Victoria Harbour, Hong Kong. SONY a7RIII, SEL1224G, 24mm, f/8.0, ISO 200, HDR 9 exposures. Developed with Luminar 3. NOTE: This trip is opened to Malaysians only. Thank you.
 Good day everyone!
I'm honoured to be part of NiSi + Skylum Photography Workshop in Kuala Terengganu this weekend (20/4 & 21/4). The workshop has been jointly arranged by Lee Photo Sdn Bhd and Skylum, the first of such collaboration between the two companies. Please click on the image above for the link to Facebook event page and details of the event. Among places to be visited are:
See you in Kuala Terengganu!

Specifications:
What I love about the lens is its size, weight and sharpness. The lens feels well balanced with the SONY a7RIII. The're some flaring issues but no noticeable chromatic aberrations on this night shots. The starburst from the light source are just great with well defined stars. Distortion is also well controlled, depending on the angle of the lens, with minimal perspective correction on Photoshop. NiSi produced a filter holder for this lens which uses normal 100mm square filters. This is a plus point since you don't need to invest on the larger (and more expensive) 150mm system. By the way, we didn't have the opportunity to use the 37mm rear filter. This lens is also compatible with the optional Laowa Magnetic 100mm Filter Holder, by NiSi. Venus Optics says that “It is a welcome relief for landscape, adventure or travel photographers that are traveling over long distances and struggling to find a compact wide-angle zoom to pair up with their cameras.”. I couldn't agree with them more.
Apart from the flaring, the other downside is the lens cap. Like most of the Laowa lenses, the lens cap need to be slightly modified to prevent it from coming off easily. This can be done easily by putting a layer of sellotape on the lens cap for added friction. Maybe Laowa can look into this matter in the future. On the overall, it is still a formidable ultra-wide angle lens to satisfy the landscapers' need for UWA lens.

I was blessed to have been invited by a friend to shoot the fireworks during the launching of PETRONAS Le Tour de Langkawi on that Friday evening from Level 50 of Menara FELDA, Persiaran KLCC. Conditions were prime for a great sunset and we stayed on until about 9:30pm when the first fireworks exploded in the sky.

 SONY α7RIII, Samyang 14mm, f/2.8, 15 sec, ISO 3200, single exposure, panorama from 4 vertical images, no filters used. Hello everyone! It has been quite a while since I last updated my blog.  SONY α7RIII, Samyang 14mm, f/2.8, 15 sec, ISO 3200, single exposure, no filters used. Here are two locations for astrophotography in Kuala Kubu Baharu: #sony #sonymalaysia #alpha #leofoto #leephoto #a7RIII #milkyway #studiozaloon
The PETRONAS Twin Towers certainly look great from up above. On Saturday, 9 March 2019, I had a chance flying my dji Mavic 2 Pro near this national landmark. The weather was not that great due to the haze, but certainly the view of the Kuala Lumpur City Centre Precinct is truly breathtaking. Thanks for viewing!

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.  SONY α7RIII, SEL70200G, 70mm, f/11, 0.8 sec, ISO 400, single exposure, no filters used.  SONY α7RIII, SEL70200G, 70mm, f/8, ISO 400, HDR 9 exposures, no filters used. |
AuthorThis is the photography journey of Nur Ismail Photography where all the experiences from this year onwards will be shared with the audience. Thanks for stopping by! :-) Archives
