Well guys, i'm new to the world of photography world here. I do know that there are lots of pro here, that is also the reason why i'd like to get some comments from you guys by posting up some of my photos. Most of the photos here have been edited with Adobe Photoshop CS2. I have no idea whether posting up the original photos would be better? Comments and critics are really welcomed here, but dun be too cruel le. Heh.

My first batches of photos will be those i've taken during my trip to Penang a few days ago. Will constantly update this gallery once i go on shooting.


The Batu Feringgi beach jump.


Best fried osyter in town, Seng thor coffee shop.


Best curry mee in town, Ayer Itam.


Long exposure shot. Over exposed?


Gurney drive, Penang.


Coming up next will be pictures on The Ship, Batu Feringgi.

My gear? I'm only using a prosumer level Canon Powershot Pro S5IS. Was thinking of switching to a DSLR once i've get to know what photography really is. Thanks for viewing my gallery and hope you guys do enjoy them.

kwws> i used yellow tint to bring out the dramatic feel. Hehe. And the curry mee's a must try if you're coming to penang. X]

Andy> oh, very easy. Just highlight the part you wanna make it b&w and 'unsaturate' it. I increased the saturation of the colours as well to make it look more pleasing. Yup, i will still be focusing on photography skill, can't do much on PS if the composition of the photo is out. hehe.

goldfries> Thanks for the brilliant idea! I've seriously never thought of it before. Haha. Yup, i'm going to try it once again when i go to gurney. Never been to Pulau Tikus, but seriously, the fried oysters and curry mee is a must try! =]

aceejay> Thanks! Alright, at the sametime i'm learning how to handle the cam properly. Seriously thought of advancing onto a DSLR soon. X]


For the time being, a picture on the making of the " Batu Feringgi beach jump" Hehe.



Coming up next will be picture on, The Ship.




Thanks for viewing. c&c welcomed here. =]

Thanks for the ideas goldfries, i'm slowly learning from it. Anyway, new pictures up! as usual, CnC are the most welcomed here. Sorry for the long delay as i was really busy with assignments and projects a few weeks back.

Enjoy. =]



This picture was captured when we were walking back to the hotel from Gurney Plaza. It was the view of the sea during low tides at Gurney Drive.




This picture is taken early in the morning at the 28th floor of Northam Suites near Persiaran Gurney, Penang. Amazing bird's eye view of the straits of Penang.




This boat was trapped in the mud during low tides, and the fisherman gave up after several tries of pushing it back into the sea. Looking like a piece of perfect artwork, i snapped it down.


All pictures here are taken with canon S5is, cropped, resized, and edited. =)

Thanks for the comments compmac.

For the 1st pic, i wanted to show the texture of the skies. So i made the sky my main subject in the pics.

Btw, may i know what is CA? Still a photography noob here . Hehe.

Thanks for all the comments guys, loking forward to improve on my photography skills. =]

Besides learning to compose shots, have also learned many new theories for photography. And guess what? I got poisoned. Haha.
