This is not my latest picture, I’m still here in Malaysia, I just want to share with you a picture that I took in Istanbul November last year when I’ve an assignment there to cover COMCEC ECONOMIC SUMMIT 2009 in Istanbul Turkey.

Travel Photography | Choosing The Right Lens
Just a quick post today, I took this shot with Sigma Lens 10-20mm F4-5.6 EX DC Lens. I’m not using a full frame camera so I need to get this UWA or Ultra Wide Angle Lens for this type of shot.

You don’t need long telephoto lens to get this kind of Bokeh, I use my all time favorite 50mm f1.4 Lens to get this Bokeh. The secret is to get as close as…

Photoshop Tone | Before and After Processing
Just a quick update to show you a difference between Original picture above and the Edited version with the Tone, picture below, it is subtle, it’s minimal. I shoot the original picture in RAW or NEF for Nikon. I took that shot at Putrajaya Botanical Garden during weekend with 50mm lens. Very simple shot but the moment what make this picture. As you can see, colors does play an important role whether your picture or subject will stand out from the background or not. The yellow T-Shirt and the yellow shawl is there with a purpose, to make it stand out from the ground and from my experience if I…
