This morning I went to meet my buddy at KLCC who just came back from Singapore… while waiting my friend arrived ( As usual he always late…and I don’t feel like mention his name yung yee… oppss… ) I saw this art exhibition by our Malaysian talented artist. The art gallery calls Matahati organized by Galeri Petronas. The whole gallery shows art collection by Ahmad Faud Osman, Ahmad Shukri Mohamad, Bayu Utomo Radjikin, Hamir Soib @ Mohamed and Masnoor Ramli Mahmud. I know nothing about this kind of artistic thing so I cut the crap for the intro part and see for yourself. Hehe… I just feel like taking pictures that’s all. The next thing I quickly ready my camera and go in and snap a few shot. Usually I don’t bring my camera out but somehow today… THANK GOD…
Here are some of the shots I took and for more go visit my website www.kornykornelius.com under the portfolio section and you will see this Matahati Art Gallery. .
Angels & Airwaves is back!!! Lately only realizes that they came out their second album on 1st of November 2007… The “I-Empire” damn… I’m outdated… Their first album “We Don’t Need To Whisper” for me is one of the best.
For those who love Blink 182 for sure will dig Angel & Airwave. Plus me and Tom ( Lead Guitarist and singer from Blink 182, Box Car Racer and Angels & Airwaves) share something in common… BIRTHDAY!!! December 13th.
Mum always said is not healthy eating cup noodle… ya is true… but only once in a while when you are lazy move your ass up to cook yourself a meal. This one mmm… yummy… some Japanese cup noodle crab chilli flavor… it makes Cintan mee and Maggi mee real bad… well you can’t compare with that because Cintan and Maggi mee are cheap and taste like crap…. MUST TRY!!!
( P/s Market price is Rm 3.++ quite expensive for a cup noodle… )
High Dynamic Range Imaging a.k.a HDRI. This is one of the interesting parts of editing your photo. For those who own a DSLR camera this might be useful for you. HDRI is actually technique combination between computer graphics and photography. The purpose of HDRI is to show the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadow ( range value between light and dark areas).
I’m going to show you some simple steps to give you the idea of HDRI. And to differencing the different exposure picture merge into HDRI before and after for you to compare.
Here are the set of 3 original different exposure picture taken from my friend Sony Alpha 200 DSLR camera (Thanks to Thoh).
First you need Photoshop CS. The one I’m currently using is CS3 version.
Step 1
Go to File > Automate > Merge HDR
Step 2
Click Browse and select the pictures then press OK
Step 3
Adjust the white according your preferable and set to 8 bits. (This is to save it as JPEG format later)
Step 4
Done! You now can save the picture any format you want or start edit the photo with other effect.
This is the simple example what I did add with some effect.
Try this with your photo and see how it looks like.
Recently I found out something quite interesting about photo editing on the internet. This is quite simply and all you need is Adobe Photoshop. Most people will call this technique the Digital Polarizer similar to the traditional polarizer. Well you might ask what the hell polarizer… well a little to know, is been use my many photographer taking nice picture. It shows more effect in term of the better, richer image.
Here are the steps:
1. Open the picture you wish edit.
2. Second duplicate the picture.
3. Now you see there are two layers of picture.
4. Select the one at the top layer, move your mouse select image at the tool bar, from the drop down list select “Adjustment”. Again from the drop list select the “Channel Mixer”.
5. The “Channel Mixer” windows will pop out. From there tick the “Monochrome” and use the setting as below.
6. Once finish click ok
7. Then from the layer select the one you just finish with the channel mixer and set it “Overlay”.
8. Now you can merge the layer together and export it.
9. Congratulation you just finish a simple yet nice polarizer effect.
To show how cool is that these are some of the examples I did
Try this with any of your picture, to spice up more you can try with other filtering effect and add with polarizer effect. Use your creativeness. Personally I prefer this effect use on those sky view and open ground nature..
Thanks for reading it. Try it!!! You might like it. Any question drop me a message.
