Who doesnt love a fantastic Sunset...



Did anyone catch the sunset yesterday? I was lazing around after a very hectic day at the income tax office and the better part of the afternoon in the blistering heat somewhere in Kajang. (I dont know if its me or are those BE,B,AE or whatever Forms are just plain confusing)... Anyways yah... as i was saying ... the Sunset yesterday was really nice ... and i seriously believe you dont have to be at a tropical island or some exotic or historic location to appreciate a good sunset or even a sunrise. The photos here were taken yesterday just out side my house. it only lasted a few minutes so i had to work fast. As usual i took about 3 million shots and it was hard selecting the once i liked. The first pic on top was just a plain point and shoot while the one on the right was an experiment with reflective surfaces. In my case..... i included the reflection on my car roof, then turned the picture upside down. What do you think? ok ah?

I read a photo technique the other day and thought i'd try it out... it was about giving lighting that star like flare without additional filters. All you have to do is set the smallest aperture settings your camera allows. In my case it was F9. (pls note the bigger the F number the smaller the aperture) Below is an example to explain this technique.
........................
(1/2o sec F3.2)...........................(set at F9 camera compensate 1/4 sec)

As for the LHDN well, it took half a day but it was all ironed out...but it seems that i still owe them some money...BAH!!!
