Baby’s Day Out | The Historical City Of Malacca
Last weekend we went to Malacca or Melaka the historic city state of Malaysia, just two hours drive from Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia. It was just a short outing with my family because we have been here before together with my son last year. This time we decided to visit Malacca maritime Museum which is located inside the ship. The Maritime Museum along Jalan Quayside by the banks of the Malacca River is housed in the life-size replica of the Flor de la Mar, the Portuguese galleon which sank in the Malacca Harbour in the 16th century. Inside this museum are dioramas and intricately designed ship models. Apart from giving…

Portrait | Why I Love Texture?
Adding textures to a photograph is definitely is not a cup of coffee for everyone especially to those who don’t have much free times to play around with Photoshop. Maybe I was lucky to have so much free time to play around with Photoshop then but then again it is not really about whether you have the time or not, it is about whether you like it or not. I believe we can always find the time to do what we love to do, people who love fishing will find the time to go fishing, people who love mountain climbing will find the times from their busy schedule to go…

The Portrait | Grain and Texture
Just a quick update of my son portraits from my busy schedule covering Thomas and Uber Cup Finals 2010 here in Kuala Lumpur. Even though the pose is still the same like I always do but I like to captured my son expression, the pose may be the same but the expression will never look the same. About the processing of the top photograph, I like to “Fade” my picture a bit before adding texture. The way I did it is by using three layers, on top of the colored picture or the middle layer is black and white picture of the same image and I reduce the opacity so…

Father and Son | Yesterday When I Was Young
© 2010 Rujiah Muhin | Photograph of Me Taken By My Wife | Kiram Village | Mesilau Yesterday When I Was Young | Roy Clark Seems the love I’ve known has always been The most destructive kind Yes, that’s why now I feel so old Before my time. Yesterday when I was young The taste of life was sweet as rain upon my tongue. I teased at life as if it were a foolish game, The way the evening breeze may tease a candle flame. The thousand dreams I dreamed, the splendid things I planned I’d always built to last on weak and shifting sand. I lived by night and…

Portrait | How To Use Backlighting To Your Advantage
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Backlighting Portraiture Backlighting can be friend or foe to the photographers. Most photographers hate it when they have to deal with the backlighting, the metering can’t be trusted when dealing with the backlighting and usually PROGRAM MODE doesn’t work here, unless you make some customization with the PROGRAM MODE. Why Program Mode doesn’t work, simply put, the metering will think that there is a lot of light source out there and usually it will end up with underexposing your main subject in order for the camera to “average” the scene. In this case, like my son picture above I use build in Spot Metering from…
