.Final Project.

.

Finally our beloved lecturer, Che Mat has given us our final project.

Sunset

And im not planning to waste any time so here's my journal.

1st shoot : Teluk Kemang



It still early for sunset i guess. Its even so many people. I dont really like this place. It seriously got nothing. Not even coconut tree. It isnt interesting at all.



Its dawn a bit. I tried to play with some techniques Che Mat teaches me. But it still didnt satisfied me.

Then I went to the next beach at Port Dickson. 


This is the best setting I can get from this beach. Then I just need to wait the sun to set a bit more, and hopping well there's some boat will pass by.


Aaaaannnddd its gone.
Shit happen, guys..

Suddenly a cloud popped and hold back the beautiful sunset light.
Its not my luck, anyway..


I got this DreamWork.


2nd shoot : Pantai Puteri

I seriously love this setting!
At first I thought that I just need to wait for the sun to set a bit more to get that orange-ish and beautiful warm color.


Aaaannnnddd the same thing happen. The cloud just washed away my sunset.
What a sad.

On the consultation day, I thought Che Mat would ask me to "Shoot again!".

But....

He proceeded!!!!


I have no idea why he likes this picture very much.
It didnt satisfied me at all.
The sun didnt even set.

I even tried to crop the picture and remove that silhouette people.
Then my classmate said, just wait for Che Mat's comment first.

And he's reaction was like.
"I like this picture.. bla.. bla.. bla.. ada orang lagi.."

And I was like..
"?????"

Well nevemind, he proceeded anyway..

.Depth of Field.

.

As promised, Im gonna put my photoshoot result for my assignment.

So this is what I got from the first photoshoot.
Which has been rejected by my lect. = ="


 Qhamel : My talent aslo get blurred.. = ="

Qhamel : And this isn't sharp enough.. = =" 

 
Qhamel : Well this if fine.. but..

Qhamel : This is not blur enough!!!! See the grass? 

So it got rejected T_T.. Those pictures look fine to me. But the effect, its sucks.
Know why is it happen?
As I mention, its 50mm lens. Its too close up. I have to put my tripod as highest as a can.
Then???
Then I have to view it from LCD (of course im using D5100). Its too hot outside. We cant see clearly through LCD when there's a strong lightning upon our head.


Qhamel : Okay.. So both of this picture was fine. My lecture thinks so.
BUT!
He rejected this also.
Because he didn't like the place.
*facepalm*

Im so fu**ed up!

And yes.. Re-shoot.
~This is crazy~ (But here's my number, so call me maybe~)

I cant find anything to shoot.
Why?
I'll talk about this later.

Then my talent was just walking around to help me find some idea.
He got tired a bit so he just sit beside water fountain.

And then I was like..
"OMG!! DONT MOVE!"

So this is the result..



Its already dawn.. In just a few blink of eyes, ITS NIGHT.
And I didn't take any picture.

Ouh.. Actually Im just planning to keep this picture for my personal collection.
I didn't even think about submitting this.

So clearly, I dont have any picture.
On the next day, I have no other choice but printing this pictures. And the waterfall, also.

By the time Im facing my lecture, he looks like he want to tear my body apart.
Im so scared.

Then I show him this picture.
"He's gonna yell at me"
"He's gonna yell at me"
"He's gonna yell at me"

That's what running on my head.

He look at the picture and said..

"This is okay,"

I'm about to cry. I thanked him.. And leave..

Well, that's all my journey to complete my assignment.
Next week he gonna give us the next assignment.
Get prepare guys..

And farewell..





* Ouh! I almost forgot this. If not mistaken, this blurry effect was called 'Bokeh'.
Weird = ="
** And what was it about the 'talent' this, 'talent' that..
We didn't call what you call a model as 'model'.
Model was the one that walking on the runway.
But for photography, we call it 'Talent'

.DOF intro a bit.

.

Another assignment for us was called 'Depth of Field'.

Shallow DOF
Great DOF

Shallow DOF is the pictures that have a blurry effect on the background.
While Great DOF is the one that had 100% sharpness.

In this assignment, we are only allowed to use 50mm fokus lens.

Its a very short lens. I dont really like it.
Of course everyone love the long lens. Feels like pro and some how.

But after I learn how to use it, I seriously love it!
Also mention here that our kit lens which is 18-55mm also can do this effect.
But trust me..
It WONT be the same.

But the one I dont like about this lens is, it is 50mm.
Its too close-up. We cant zoom-out and even zoom-in using focus lens.

I have to set my tripod on the high position so that I can get zoomed-out manually.
If anyone got some more idea how to do it in the easier way, please share with me..
I'll make the whole-day photo shoot for u. By free. If it really work of course.

So this how how u'll get with this lens.

.Shallow DOF.

.Great DOF.

Well, the lens in this picture was actually my kit lens, 18-55mm.
Im shooting this using that 50mm focus lens.

So on the next entry I will show some of my Depth of Field output.

Then,
Farewell guys!

.Motion Study - Waterfall.


.

Lepas buat photo-shoot waterfall haritu, aku discover masalah besar aku.
Yang masih belum selesai. (rupanya)

Aku masih dan tetap takut air.
Air sampai buku lali je. Tapi aku takut giler macam ada tsunami.
Aku face masalah ni masa shoot gambar ni.

.Fast shutter speed. 

.Slow shutter speed.

Dari jauh aku ingatkan air terjun, dah dekat baru tau ni empangan je. Tapi aku shoot jela.
Nak shoot depan-depan macam ni, terpaksa la aku masuk dalam air tu.

Self-control sikit, tak lah aku menggigil. Tapi ikutkan jiwa memang taknak aku masuk.

.Dah siap baru perasan. Cepat-cepat aku bla.

Aku takut bukan apa.. Ulu Bendul ni baru je kena 'kepala air' kan..

Then..
Nak cross pakai batu jarak 2kaki je, tapi amik masa dekat 5minit untuk aku self motivate.
Yep. About 5minute jugak aku berdiri tengah batu tu sampai datang berani nak cross.

Pasal Aqua-Phobia aku, aku post dekat NightRains.
Pasal Photo-shoot, ni hasil sedikit sebanyak.





Simple result. There's few more but I dont feels like putting it up here.

And Im gonna end up this entry by putting the waterfall picture that has been proceeded by my lecturer.


.Stopping Motion.

.Implying Motion.


Farewell guys..
