Caught a Porsche

Had my camera by my side wanting to shoot something today. Just about to reach home when I saw this dark Porsche. I hope it would slow down & it did. I grabbed my camera and just shot it. Adjusted exposure since the K100d likes to under expose, tone curve, split tone and added a vignette.

Butterfly Resting After The Rain

A heavy thunderstorm hit our home suddenly. One moment it was hot and bright. Then next moment, the wind was howling and rain poured down. After the rain, a butterfly rested on our orchid to dry its wings. Allowed me to capture a few shots.

It flew off after my last shot. Without a proper lens and with the light fading, this is the best shot I got.

Used to see quite a few of these butterfly years ago when I shot film. Nowadays, don't see them around so often.

ISO 800, handheld, f/5.6, shutter 1/40sec 55mm

Reflection 2

Got another quick shot at Sentul Park during the Sunrise Easter service.



Since there were some friends with us, I didn't really go all out for photo. There are some nice old buildings there that I'm sure will produce some interesting photos. Maybe another day.

Two sides to everything


This photo was taken in Kota Kinabalu at the river mouth. We had seafood at the place. At first I wasn't really happy with this photo until I saw it on the computer screen. A bit of tweak here and there and a  mirror image came out. I loved the way the tones came out. YMMV.

The seafood was not that great actually and pricey. The other location nearby was better but next time.

Unexpected

Was looking to shoot landscapes & panorama. Shot this instead.
