The Silent Room

This one was shot with the A95 on shutter priority, set to a 6-sec exposure. Slow shutter speeds create blur effects when there is movement, and in the cases of light rays, they create cool looking almost laser-like lines. A little bit of level and curves adjustment helped to bring out some vivid colours.

Turn off your flash when shooting in night mode to get interesting silhouettes. However, you will need to hold the camera still, otherwise you get some motion blur in your shot. A trick I learnt from TV Smith, is to prop the camera against a pole, which resulted quite nicely in this shot.

Skyscapes and architecture shots with glass buildings are fast becoming a clich? so I decided to try working around both ideas to come up with something interesting. Who would have thought if the boring tinted windows of the MMU Faculty of Enginnering building would hold such a view?

Be bold and go to the weirdest places to get funky shots. This shot was taken under the shadow of a rickety wooden bridge that crosses over small section of Sg. Chongkak. Notice how the rays of light create an almost angelic array of light panels when they travel through the water. Rays of light that you see here are actually reflected from particles like sand and dirt that float around in the water.
