Nesohu 2.0

A nice shot processed with some skills I recently obtained. Enjoy.

This event happens once every 12 years. An event not to be missed. Syok.

Today working until 11pm, it’s like the 1st time I’m asked to remain until so late. But if I insists in going back, I wouldn’t have that kinda experience. Just finished “Dinper” (Dinner + Supper)…upload these 2 pix before sleep. Nite Malaysia.

Jade Emperor’s Birthday a.k.a. Hokkien New Year was one of the events that captures most faithful chinese worshipper’s attention. This is especially so for Hokkiens to pay gratitute to Jade Emperor for hiding them in the sugar cane bushes to escape from trouble.

This year I’ve visited 2 of the most prominent location to offer prayers in Penang. Jade Emperor’s temple in Ayer Itam as well as the longest offering in Chew Jetty. It’s quite grand as you can see on the photos below. Cheers.

The 7th day of CNY is one of those days I’ve been waiting for. It’s when the Penang state chinese clan association organizes a grand cultural celebration in Georgetown area. Here are a few shots I’ve managed to processed thus far.

If you see a ladder moving in between the crowd, yes…that’ll be your favourite photographer…nesohu

After reading through books and books, study about softwares available and all, I can’t really understand how people came up with HDR images that are so impactful. Even after trying out the techniques used on YouTube, I still can’t get a decent photo other than a real dull gray-toned image.

Today, we went over to BM to attend a Leadership seminar. During that evening, she pampers me by bringing me out for a nice photo trip. I wouldn’t have love her more. This temple is one of the most beautiful temples in Peninsular Malaysia. The inside is kept to pristine cleanliness, and the marbles are really well crafted.

More importantly I managed to create my 1st HDR….manual HDR. I literally paint the whole image over layer after layer. Process is quite tedious, but the workflow can be summarized as follows:-

1. Take 5~7 shots in 1EV step
2. Put the brightest layer on the bottom, and stack the brighter layers on top depending on their exposure
3. Use Layer Mask and darken all the layers
4. Paint out the exposure of a particular spot as you desire.

Success. Yay~ 10s Choobee. You are really lovely.

Merry X’mas guys. Thanks to the blessings, I managed to get a good family, a good career, a good biz, and also most importantly, health. This is taken in Devine Mercy – “Not a Church, Not yet a Parish” this morning. Quite a nice place, a lot of people have fork out their savings to make this place such a beautiful one. Praise the Lord for that.

Btw…if you’ve noticed, I’ve just made a new logo for my “brand name”. I’ll explain more about the logo’s design on my next post.

What Happened to Nesohu? Well, flying here flying there…been to my 3rd trip of the year. Not far, but nevertheless, it’s overseas. Here are 2 more photos I’ve processed using a technique I just learnt online. Amazing color n sharpness boost. Will be developing it huge to hang on my wall.

Harddisc down, send for repairs….mood a bit down. I heard people say Data loss is worse then abortion. Well, i do think that’s quite true. Just to cheer things up a bit, let me start with some panoramic view of Bali.
