hey datto, permission to use your group photo on my blog please?

p.s. the 4 friends from Cyberjaya are not PhotoMalaysia members...

This post has been edited by yrh0413: Mar 16 2008, 05:42 PM

i notice that so far (based on this and the other thread) yrh0413 is the only one that goes below eye-level and played with angles more often.

I love all of your pics...Datto me too wanna use yr group photo in my blog...hope you dont mind.

Matt, I didn't stay at Chow Kit till so late lah. Have some meetings to get some work done after the street shoots.

Anyway, really nice pictures being posted so far. I just got back home now. Still have lots of work to be done before I can post up any pictures. Will try to post some maybe later tonight.

hahaha. There were three shots of the group photo. everyone were looking at the camera. u were also looking at YOUR camera. lol

Anybody here from the group be going to Btinggi? 60percent decided but if going will b driving there n theres 3 empty seats. I am comfortable with this group.

Yes goldfries, indeed most of my photos are on eye level.
will improve on it, thanks for your tips.

hanafinoor, when is it? to btinggi.

by blackout you mean power failure right, nope they wasn't. the turn of the station light in the morning, and I metered the sky outside, so that inside the station will be dark

I want to use it for my blog as well

Wanna go samson heard 29 march

can some1 edit the group photo with our name??
i donno who is who...

post #7 already written the people name at the bottom mah.

Let me kpc with names.

btw, yrh0413 looked so difference compare to few years back.

Any chance, another mini-shooting on the coming weekend? I will be in KL for few days next week, probably can do few hours shooting/TT, staying in puchong area though.

need to edit those photo oso...

next to matt is me, John, Nazreen and Ash

no la.

#1 - nice, just that would be nice if go lower a bit, then wait for the traffic to clear.
#5 - ehhh........can to better la. go closer and snap top-down view with some angle.
#2 - normal. can try going closer to the ground
#3, #4 - i like

@matt

i think your shots will look nicer by some contrast adjustment.
#1, 2, 5, 7, 8 9 have potential. my fav is #7.

Datto - those are far from suck, your pics are good, matt's really awesome, I call it creative work of art esp no 10..

This post has been edited by hanafinoor: Mar 16 2008, 09:40 PM

matt only xiu didi...
still need improve a lot...

start working d... fat liao...

hanafinoor, matt2001, and datto: nice pictures you got there. I think throughout the entire outing, the most valuable catch is to get to know various ways to compose a shot. 14 forumers joined this outing, 14 distinctly different composition and style.

at times when I browse through our photos, I kindda have this question popped in my mind: "wow, such an ordinary subject could bring impact to a picture"

goldfries, i am a noob, what is 'eye level'? Is it technical or certain way to focus?

This post has been edited by hanafinoor: Mar 16 2008, 11:12 PM

eye level = same level with object or same height with object...

shooting at eye level means normal posture while shooting... stand still, hold ur cam to your eyes, snap. If shoot below eye level means at times you have to lie down, squat, or roll over (woof woof~!!) while you compose your shot. For me I prefer going down and dirty as it brings bigger impact from a ultra wide-angle lens.

Nice pics from the seasoned photogs here I see. I still haven't offload the pictures from my SD yet lol.

Great meeting you guys. If any of my pics are worth posting, I'll share them hahaha

whose are the person beside hanafinoor? wearing blue black shirt

His name is ash from lim kok wing

who ever got my photo pls email it to me or add my msn : matthias2001my@hotmail.com

not nice or oof oso nvm...

This post has been edited by hanafinoor: Mar 17 2008, 09:24 AM

hhehe... thanks for the comment.. still learning..

Here are my shots of people



















More pictures are here (flickr).

like the #6...
funny guy...
"Wanna scare off some rats..?"

This post has been edited by convicted_knight: Mar 17 2008, 03:22 AM

hehe. refer to what yrh0413 mentioned........

eye-level means our generally accepted eye-level of human la, which is around 150 - 180cm from the ground i believe.

shots from this angle looks common and quite often, uninteresting. you know la, the usual tourist style photography.

which is why if you want, squad. kneel. or step up some platform and shoot. it makes the picture refreshing cos you don't kneel / squat or go high-up that often in the city. right?

and it's not just for ultra-wide angle but for many type of shots.

just sharing, cos i read about this from some magazine awhile back and when i put to practise, it does look nicer. i met some pro-photog from sg, he also told me the same thing - go low! (well that was shooting paintball la).

aihh sorry la. comment banyak but nothing to show yet. hehe.

here's a pic i took almost lying on the floor (with quite a number of dried bird shit)

*i think that's asrolsani in the background. the idea of this shot is to snap another photographer in action. snapping him and his subject.

Join the next outing to Bukit Tinggi on 29th March. More info here:

convicted_knight: I like #4 and #8. My similar try with #9 was also over-exposed like yours. Any advice from anyone how to improve this to capture the 'water' effect?

ebernie: I like #3, #6 and #8 for the composition.

Still trying to get some of my shots up. Hopefully later today. So busy

To take slow shutter pics during daylight, you'll need something called ND filter (basically it's like sun glasses for your camera). What it does is it cuts the amount of light so you can use slow shutter speeds. I don't have one so didn't attempt it coz I sorta know the result

Here are some which stressed on color(s)

Ebernie, I need to learn a lot from you, thanks for showing me that day...your pics are gorgeous especially because its diff...abt ppl, normally this kind of stuff will get prioritized into printed media. Regret I didnt shoot the man with the funny mask, I never taught itll be interesting until I saw yours.

This post has been edited by hanafinoor: Mar 17 2008, 10:19 AM

Thank you for your complements. I'm still learning as well but we can learn together

A lot of sifus around here so just join more outings! Too bad I won't be joining the Bukit Tinggi one because I will be in Redang then

Here are 2 more - men @ work:





This post has been edited by ebernie: Mar 17 2008, 10:13 AM

Hehe, I wanted to shoot the man with the mask too but did not shoot in the end coz didn't plan to buy that mask from him

Ebernie, nice color series.

Perhaps next time when I go shoot, I should aim for some themes.... like people at work, building or nice colors. I was just shooting aimlessly on Saturday so in the end I feel like there's no 'identity' to it... Well, perhaps it's just me

Thanks. Yes, having a theme helps but remember not to let it dominate too much as well. Sometimes, unplanned outings can go well too. To be frank, I had the notion of shooting colors only after I got there since the place is has a good mix of colors (sign boards and buildings being the obvious ones).

Here are some shots of buildings:

Did you crop your pictures? Or are they directly from the camera?

guys, try putting your images at places like flickr or whatever else instead of attaching it to posts.

Most were cropped. Other post processing done: curve & contrast adjustment, sharpening & saturation boost.



Oops, sorry. I have them on flickr but it's a pain to link those back here.

Lunch time is good for posting pictures. Here's mine:

#1 Colorful row of shop houses


#2 'Giant' building


#3 Public toilet at Tune Hotel?


#4 Eon Bank


#5 Back lane


#6 Abandoned building


#7 Not sure what building


#8 Clothing store


#9 Sandwiched


#10 Shot from Kelana Jaya while waiting for valho

Okay, my turn now.

All of your shots are really nice. Artistic, I should say. Mine... I think they're very much just snap shots...

Anyway, out of the 60 something photos I took (I thought I took 100+!) I only like these 14.

Here's my first set.

#1 Chow Kit Monorail station at 8am.


#2 Another shot of the Chow Kit Monorail Station.


#3 Some of my newly made pro photographer friends, getting ready to shoot for the day.

L-R: Matt, Valho, HornetEJ

#4 Homeless.


#5 Fruit seller with an eye catching fruit stall.


#6 Lost your keys? You might find it here.


#7 Parking at an abandoned building?


#8 EON Bank Building and ebernie


#9 Caught Valho in action


#10 Eon Bank building. Funny how I thought this looks like a scene from a Batman movie.


I know I am breaking the rules of photojournalism (as far as my photojournalism lecturer is concerned, that is. I didn't know there's such a rule.) by showing y'all 2 different images of the same subject. I just want to show y'all and maybe tell me which is better.

I'm not allowed to post more photos. the next 4 will come tomorrow.

This post has been edited by CutieLynette: Mar 18 2008, 01:24 AM

nice photo cutielynette. i'm sure more and more outing would make us know 'how to shoot' in many ways.

@matt~going BW now ah, hehe, but will looks better if adjust contrast a bit loh
@convicted_knight~nice light trail shots, maybe should do an outing shooting light trail
@CutieLynette~nice shots there, i kinda like 7 and 10

I see someone else in the scene.
Anyone guess?

Damn... Guys... These pictures remind me of something...

While you guys enjoying taking pictures, I am still working like hell around that area... Yeah... My office around there

my turn.... u can see here... goldfries, myjunk etc in action

that's me on the left. red shirt, chimping while sitting like a beggar. then myjunk. then hornetEJ. donno who are the other 2.

Thanks for the tip goldfries. Guys when I first bougt the sonyalpha, on mid feb, I was struggling to understand the manual given, but after going out with you guys now 3/4 at least being absorbed 70-80% to my head.
I am still not sure how to resize - I am using photoshop cs3 - converting raw - unsharp mask - reduce noice - leveling - masking...maybe during my class (the oldest in my class) I ponteng during sizing lesson. I dont use the sony software.

Hey great pic you all have there - inspire me to learn alot even from 7 yo matt2001. matt i checked your flicker - the danga bay - my parents (my kampung) live a walking distance from there. Reminded me about long zoom lens (sometimes you see only opportunity in far away but blinded with those close to you - just like the long zoom range lens esp 70-300 or above) - only my philosophy. Very nice photos lah in the danga bay you shoot.

Convicted knight - your latter latter batch of photos getting better and better - wow. Cutielynette also has great pics there.

This post has been edited by hanafinoor: Mar 18 2008, 11:05 AM

np np. don't be shy to get down low, quite often the WOW factor you get from those shots are worth the dirt........literally!

@valho,
yeah.. maybe we can.. but must find a nice spot lah.. then can be awesome trails...

@samsonyeap,
Our PM..?

@hanifanoor,
