A new journey awaits

In a few days I"ll be heading to Lembata Island for a photography projects.

Lembata is an island in the Lesser Sunda Islands, formerly known as Lomblen island; it is the largest island of the Solor Archipelago, in the Lesser Sunda Islands, Indonesia. It forms a separate regency of the province of Nusa Tenggara Timur. The length of the island is about 80 km from the southwest to the northeast and the width is about 30 km from the west to the east. It rises to a height of 1,533 metres.
To the west lie the other islands in the archipelago, most notably Solor and Adonara, and then the larger island of Flores. To the east is the Alor Strait, which separates this archipelago from the Alor Archipelago. To the south across the Savu Sea lies the island of Timor, while to the north the western branch of the Banda Sea separates it from Buton and the other islands of Southeast Sulawesi.

So I will update my journey and also the pictures from there....
It will be very insteresting one....

Flare in photography

LIGHTS, FLARE, ACTION.......

It's been a while that I haven't had a chance to write something in my blog....
Well.... not that I was not aware or just a simple laziness
But for the last couple of years, I've been busy fulfilling my GAS of photography....
I've been acquired so many cameras and lenses just to fulfill my curiosity of results....
And for sure, one of the result was my wife were so mad at me that I've spent so much fortune for those gears... LOL

Well.... not a big deal at all..... so in early 2014 let's start with some interesting topics...
Also I hope that I;m able to continue write something in my experience as a lifetime amateur shooter....

Photography needs lights.... either it might come from the flash, sun, room light or any available lights...
Some lights can become flare.... flare can become friend or foe depends on the angle you are taking....

From WIKIPEDIA: A flare, also sometimes called a fusee, is a type of pyrotechnic that produces a brilliant light or intense heat without an explosion. Flares are used for signalling, illumination, or defensive countermeasures in civilian and military applications. Flares may be ground pyrotechnics, projectile pyrotechnics, or parachute-suspended to provide maximum illumination time over a large area. Projectile pyrotechnics may be dropped from aircraft, fired from rocket or artillery, or deployed by flare guns or handheld percussive tubes.

In my amateur experience, I've learned a lot about lights in photography....
And from time to time I've become aware how lights can transform your shot into a masterpiece or just a "ready to delete junk"

Here are some examples of my shots using different cameras and also lenses....
Those shots were not made by masters but a truly passionate photographer (if I may say that... LOL)
