Urban Twenty Four Seven

Its hard for me to find some thing like this in Brunei. should i consider myself lucky? Its my relative's neighbour's house.. some people were in the house but i just don't care. its not like i'm takin pics of their wives or daughters ryte?.. well, it would be a plus plus if they were here in the frame.. myb beside the window.. heheh.. the shot was very tight. this is the best i could do..

comments?...

Another pic from my recent raya visit in Miri.. Its a cage.. duhh!!.. there's actually a bird inside it. Didn't bother to take a look inside it.. its almost midday and its hot so i just snapped around hoping to catch a good one. took this pic right before the host called me for a drink and right before we went off to another house..

i didn't feel right about the photo, so change it to b&w. after awhile i thought it'll look more dramatic in sepia.. tried borders on it.. a vintage one. but doesn't fit with the subject. so i decide a simple border will do to enhance the pic.

and again... i'm open to comments and ideas..

Hey.. Selamat Hari Raya to you guys.. Its been a while since i last posted. Well, last Sunday my family and i went to Miri to visit my relatives from my dad's side.. Its the second time i went there for Raya. The first was last year. so i took family pictures plus a few pics for my blog.

well, its out from the usual landscape theme. Its Urban theme. rather than siting inside, i look around outside the house seeking for subjects. Caught this "gayung" sitting in a unfinish pole fence.

Its a just try-out. What do you think? comments are welcome..

This is another sunset from our outings in lumut beach. seeking for subject, i decided to take a silhoutte of this boulder. i'm thinking of going to the boulder again to get a better shot as this result didn't satisfy me. hmm.. Painqler.. when is our next outings?..

Our Journey to Tasek Merimbun. Painqler and I woke up early reminding ourself that we could catch the morning sunrise. I'd been there.. once. and i thought i knew the way. well, i don't. i should've turn right but i drove straight to no where. We turned back wasting our precious time..

The boatmen and his son purposely went to the hut. i heard the father said "ah.. gambar saja.. gambar.." a few times since we came. I feel this picture is too tight. The reflection should be in the frame. what do you think??...

Overall, i personally didnt satisfied with the results. Smog, smoke, air pollution or anything else of the same meaning somewhat spoil our outings.

One afternoon, i was sitting down on the couch watching tv like any other afternoon, resting from a day's work. a sudden "tut.. tut..". "owh, its bro Painqler.." like always, if he text me late in the afternoon, the only thing in his mine is sunsets. and like always he would reach the gates of my house just a few seconds after i read his SMS. always ready, i grabbed my gears and off we go.

Here one of the best pic that i snapped that day. feel free to comment. i need one...

Its been a while since i post. A lot of things happened to me. but then, here i am posting another pic. Here's my first slow shutter attempt to catch a lightning.. one of the best lightning in my collections.. and i didnt even edit it.. the spots i guessed are water dots.

(NOTE TO READERS: i dont really post new pictures like you guys do. usually i would keep it for days, weeks, or even month before i post it. not that i'm too lazy to post but i felt that if i keep my pics away for a few moments i would have a different perspective when i reopen it ( only if i dun really satisfied with it.) usually i would feel and say "eh, lawa jua gambar yang ku ambil ariatu.." BUT if the pic looks great from the first time i see it in the PC, i would post it asap.)

Another few months old pic. honestly, i never notice it looked this way until tonite... luckily i didnt delete it.. i think the pic just lacking of subject..

Here's another a few months old pics. I was at a padi field in Labi. saw some of these flowers and snapped a few. i just add a little saturation and a little sharpening..

This is a pic of our well known recreational park, Luagan lalak. bad luck, its in very bad condition. but while Painqler and i was passing thro' the area ( we're going to Wasai Wang Kadir ), Its under renovation. maybe for a few months or so. heheh.. we're waiting for another trip there.

Well, during the outings, we noticed that there's a place for bird watching at the other side of the lake.. with cable bridges etc.. can't see much. its unaccessible.. got the pic of it but not attach.

here's some more of my last year's collections.. never thought of posting it. i thought ( at that time ) the pics were pretty bad.. or so i thought..

This is another project done with Painqler a few months ago. we took pics of the lighthouse in two versions, sunset and nighttime.. not sure about the result though but here's the outcome..

Snapped a few pics from outings to Wang Kadir last weekend with Painqler. so much yet so few good results.. hope this could inspire you..

This was taken last year during His majesty visit to KB. Its my first time to take his majesty's photo's. I'd looked forward for the day. wearing smart clothes and stand between professional photographers and photo journalists.. peeking others' camera and lenses.. rushing and pushing just to get the best shot. for a newbie like me.. its one of the great memories and a stepping stone for a more formal and professional photographer..
