Billionth Barrel Monument Revisited in HDR

BSP Head Office - HDR

This is the view of the BSP Head Office from the Jalan Utara entrance.

kadai seria - HDR

I really like this HDR. I always like paintings but not a painter myself and this software had allowed me to try out my "painting" ability. It really works well with my favourite theme, landscape and architecture. A few more HDR photos to come and then maybe should take a break and back to the old routine of random photos.

It's a mixture of blue and grey... HDR

More HDR experiments... all taken from the balcony of my house, Qasrul Amani.

Although the original photos are real, I like to make them look unreal, so pardon my extreme manipulation of the clouds and colour saturation.

My 1st HDR

This is the Head Office of Brunei Shell Petroleum Company Sdn Bhd in Jalan Utara, Panaga, Seria, Brunei Darussalam. Today was quite a dark cloudy day and I try to capture/intensify that in this photo, my first HDR. I'm now going to be like what ZadM said, an "HDR Hunter" hunting for the good HDR photo opportunity. I'm back in the circle. Now have to look for a 50mm lens... no I'll go to sleep, a satisfied person until tomorrow.

I like this fish tank in Emma's place. But that's not the real reason I've posted this photo. It's more a self potrait and I think it really captures what Emma had wrote about me "His quiet way with pictures reflects a heart of gold and a gentle soul."Or maybe it captures the word "reflects" only. Perasan banar kediaku ah. I know I missed greeting a few people that day and missed some of the photo sessions as well. I look forward to the next gathering and the photo outings. This HDR thing is sticking in my head and I have not even started yet... HDR, Photomatix, Bracket Shots, blablabla... Help! I'm struck by the HDR virus.

I've been watching Bald in action that day. He was on his feet, knees, belly, hands, head (I'm now exaggerating too much!) But I honestly never expected him to go this far...

He actually jumped into the swimming pool with his full suit. I'm not sure whether it's the food or other Sharp Shooters who inspired him to do that but I have a strong feeling that it has to do with Mellie.

I thought I'm good at this as I'm called a Sharp Shooter. But it came out like this...Never mind... have another go, said the Producer and Art Director but what the heck??? It's even worse

OK, I give up. I'll stick to macro, nature & wildlife, architecture and landscape... and let the pro Ahim do this.

I saw Bald between the cars and walked over to find out...

next thing I saw Bonnie & Clyde running...

so Bald was actually taking the shots. I know Bruneian was somewhere. There he is...

Bonnie & Clyde... my version.
Well I know its supposed to be in black & white, but I prefer colourWith a bag (full of money?), Bonnie (Maurina) and Clyde (Lim Sheng Ming) ran

and ran

and ran

and ran

...and ran.
Oh come on, stop running will you. No one bother nowadays if you run with a bag and a lady coz they think you just want to kawin lari...
(That's why I prefer colour coz this is a modern translation of Bonnie & Clyde!)

The Intellectual Debutante...

My3rdEye & Zippy

Fidbit, the photographer, Stella, the art director, and Emma, the Producer and Hostess,checking out the results

and of course My3rdEye and Zippy would also like to see the photo. (I thought Zippy was asking Fidbit "Why do I look so tiny???") Don't worry Zippy, it's those highly stacked books that had dwarfed you.

The Yoga Bunny (Danura) adjusting her bunny ears. What happen to the tail? Well, I guess there's nowhere to hang it and nobody will notice anyway...
suddenly all cameras were on her... eh tekajut selajur bunny ah, baik jua inda kepisan

now, now, since she had stole the limelight she might as well show what she can do... first this

then this...

then relax...

whose head is in my way? must be bald.

that smile really can kill... but that shows how happy Miss Zippy was with Bald's photoshoot of her

hmmm... i wonder what they are doing... is Maurina really looking at the photo in Bruneian's camera or resting her head on his shoulder...

These ladies must be practicing their dance moves

The Big Friendly Giant... he could not find Sophie and his bottle of dreams... so he posed for me with a cigar and a camera

my version of Senor Pablo. well not much different from the one on Emma's blog

Hazel and the cat...
