Nevertheless, with some imaginative angles and the play of some of the functions available on the camera, we managed to get some cool pictures taken. The left picture is with the sepia filter with high contrast parameters while the one on the right is just Josh from a nice angle.
The beach was not much to shout about but the ingredients were right for silhouette shots. This is achieved by under-exposing your shots. The aperture setup was the smallest while the speed was the quickest. If you're camera illiterate, set it up for the highest number for both. Oh yes, a big light source from the back is crucial too....My favourite shot for the trip...You can see the glitters on the water and really clean outline around Josh. Play around with your cameras. It's now digital so you dont have to waste money on printing if they don't turn out well. Just snap away...
When we first started, we used a fully manual Nikon F50 SLR. There was one time when I happily snapped away on black and white film and when it was time to put in a new roll, I realised that the whole roll was wrongly put so no pictures were actually taken for the last 36 frames... DUH!!! Thank god for technology!

The untold story here is that the sea sparkled, not just through the clever play of light and camera, but because the water is pretty oily as PD is on the major shipping lane. Thank the dinosaurs for oil and sludge ! Sorry, just a bit overworked.
Josh's bucket full of dinosaurs?
LOL.....Keydam,bring ur family to Labuan someday.The beaches are plenty and the wave sizes are at your choice.Big one on the west side of the island and the small one on the east side.Another nice collection of photos.
Hope the slated projects at Kiamsam will produce some awesome resorts for the family. For now, we'd probably end up in Sabah for a beach holiday. Dude, u need to get a digital SLR, man!!! Price has gone down by a whole RM1k for mine.
Yeah...wish to get the SLR but I am going to be tied down on a current project.There will be a weekly Saturday Acoustic show at Veteran's Pub.Henry & I will play with another chap called Kelvin.Will post a blog about it soon.
