One Fine Day

Today is an unusual day. I don't usually wake up very early and since I did, I challenged myself for an impromptu shoot. This will also serve as a test if I'm ready to shoot Angkor Wat next week.

1- MARINA - 6:12AM


2- MARINA IR BACKDROP - 6:13AM


3- MERLION - 6:18AM


4- MERLION - 6:20AM

First signs of the sky formation looks no good, but some nice patterns are starting to form.

5- MARINA - 6:21AM


6- MERLION - 6:37AM


was playing with filters and different angles shows different moods too and so with the above variations.

7- ESPLANADE - 7:02AM


8- RAFFLES CITY - 7:21AM


i didn't manage to capture my intended look when the sun was already just above the horizon. somehow the broken clouds spoiled it. but i enjoyed the shoot and since it's already late, i need to catch up with some sleep. thanks for viewing!

it's a must to use a tripod if you really want to achieve more sharper landscapes, birding and macro also applies. although some have stable hands or have better holding techniques nothing beats using a stable tripod. for landscape a tripod ensures that the horizon is locked-on perfectly unlike when handholding--a bit of inhale/exhale or tripping the shutter will cause so much tilting already. also, if you are familiar with the 1/X-secs not less than Y-focal length rule of thumb then you will know when to or not to use a tripod. but this rule of thumb does not apply if your cam or lens has vibration reduction feature, you'll have 2-4stops advantage therefore may not need a tripod at 1/15secs. i have got to know my new telephoto with VR and the most i can handhold with sharp images is at 1/20secs, f/4.

A ok po sir Glen.Thanks po sir.Research po ako dyan sa 1/X-secs not less than Y-focal length rule of thumb. OO nga po kahit minsan feeling ok di na ko gumagalaw meron pa din shake yung shot.Sony Slr po kse meron sila nung super steady shot na feature kso ganun pa din meron pa din talgang galaw kahit na naka on na yun.Thanks you po sir Glen.Ill try to use my tri pod as much as possible.hehehehehe.Bigat kse e.hihihi.pero ganun talga.Thanks po ulit!!
