\nOne very scorching, sunny 14th October 2007, a bunch of us went up to Bentong<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Note the shot would usually have a very underexposed building, but the Sony Alpha 700’s Dynamic Range Optimizer, set on DRO Manual Level 5<\/b>, has maximum effect here. No Photoshopping other than resize and sharpen.<\/p>\n


\nI don’t know what others see in this picture but I’ll put it up anyway.<\/p>\n


\n17mm F2.8 2 seconds ISO6400 with a cheap infrared-pass filter. Oh, and black-and-white mode.<\/p>\n


\nWe headed to Chamang waterfalls, where I then whipped out my Super Aberrator<\/b> – the misaligned, faulty Sigma 70-210mm F4-5.6! 210mm F6.3.<\/p>\n


\n160mm F8. The chromatic aberration is so thick, it could be used for artistic effect.<\/p>\n


\n200mm F6.3. Note the extremely soft corners!<\/p>\n


\nThe jungleman cometh!<\/p>\n


\n135mm F11. KJ<\/a> and the bokeh that appears to swirl behind him in concentric circles (much easier to see in real life, through the lens.)<\/p>\n


\n210mm F11. Enough of the Super Aberrator already!<\/p>\n

Now for some animation.<\/b><\/p>\n


\nPeleng 8mm F3.5 circular fisheye, at F16, 1\/1000s, ISO3200.<\/p>\n

DRO was off for 5 FPS burst mode, as DRO would sometimes lag the 5 FPS. However, DRO Level 5 is awesome for extremely bright, contrasty situations, as it brings out the greens. Add that I was in Daylight White Balance for extra effect.<\/p>\n


\nIt started to drizzle, so we headed home.<\/p>\n


\nWell, sorta, not before dropping by a restaurant in Gohtong Jaya and discovering that KJ was actually a farmboy. This was actually quite dim evening light. Again, DRO Level 5 brought out the greens to beyond what my favorite Fujifilm Superia could do. I love it!<\/p>\n


\nThe rain kept us in the restaurant for a few good hours.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
