Sekinchan landscape.

ShutterAsia organized an photo outing to Sekinchan. For those who don't know, Sekinchan is a beautiful place full of paddy fields in Selangor. I took my 5D, 350D(IR) and Yashica together with me to have fun shooting landscapes there. Here are some shots from my 5D and my 350D(IR).

For those who haven't visited Sekinchan.. don't waste your time, go quickly as the skies have been sooo blue the past few weeks (especially if it rains the night before your trip!)

Venturing into the World of Infrared Photography

I've always admired the effects and mood created from infrared photos. Recently, I have taken the plunge to send my third body, a 350D for a full infrared (IR) conversion. The reason I did this is to add another tool in my gear lineup to create certain effects to my works. With this tool, I hope I'll be able to realize some ideas that gives the sense of mystical, ethereal or dreamy look.

I'm still familiarizing myself to the post processing aspect of Infrared photography and have been trying to understand how to achieve what colors throughout the whole pp cycle.

Here's my first IR shot, a shot taken in Genting.


My first IR


Then, the camera was used during my KK trip. This was shot at the Tip of Borneo, Kudat, Sabah.

Another shot at the same place. Shot by my wife, pp done by me.

And recently, this was shot in Putrajaya.


Peacefully Blue - IR


I really like the post process for the last shot. I'm spending a lot of time trying to understand about the channel swapping, color balancing, etc. in the post process step. I will share any information that I have learned or experiment in my blog.
