Probably I broke the Taboo, which did not respect the temple by taking photos from the front of people praying and making offering. And what I know too, the temple is already quite old and almost the same old with the burning place where fire and smoke symbolizes the hope was send to the sky emperor. I must be more respect to this kind of ritual praying so it would not be destrubing “them”. Lucky I am fine and nothing happened to me lah. Thanks a lot for your information about that, it is very usefull for me ;p

Bro did u see the shadowy figure of a women to the right beside the uncle? Is that a real person or an "entity"... looks real spooky..

Hi Dearchivism

First of all, your photos are really amazing!! very nice i love it..

but what shocked my eyes is #44... as CatByTe spotted the lady beside the man, which i sees it too. What more spooky is the little boy head on the right, above the flames, beside the lady. his face expression is so clear!! he is watching over the uncle or staring at the flames. tell me what you guys see..

Lastly.. you shot at the "right" timing... lol one shot 3 in frame. uncle, lady and little boy.

 

[velovictor]

OMG the more u stare at it, it looks like Ju-On boy!!! lol thats what i see. im interested that what you guys see...

 

[Rendell]

Wow ... This is really a scary shot. There is another face ... top left 2 cm from top.

 

[xunliang]

To Velovictor :
Thanks a lot for your C&C and for your notice about “as if the little boy”. Yes when I look at it more carefully, as if there was something near “the woman”, but not so clear what it was. You have sharp eyes too that make you able to see it more cleary. Cool, the number of the photo is also #44, if I am not wrong, the number 44 means double death and chair up side downed “terbalik” where something from sky will come down to earth.
And also this photo is the 4-th photo at page 3 at this thread and at the flickr link, the last number is also 4. Bit scary for me to see it for quite long time, as if it becomes more and more real………Hopefully nothing bad will happen…


To Rendell :
Thanks for your C&C, as you mentioned it, yes I also see some kind of “scary face” with opened eye(s)…so many shapes looks like “entity of half human” in this photos….makes me a bit scary to look at it for a quite long time…..

To xunliang :
Thanks a lot for your C&C, it really means a lot to me

You gentlemen are spot on.
I personally cannot make out the third face on the top left. But by the misty appearance and inconsistency with the solid colour of the man, the lady and the young boy's face are almost certain (in my opinion) spiritual phenomena.
Honestly, Dearchivism, do not worry.
I would say count yourself fortunate to have captured this rare picture.
I definitely do not think anything untowards will happen to you nor your camera.
'They' are just like any one of us, simply existing there and open to being captured by any camera.

can i be ur student?

 

[Dearchivism]

To limhow :
Thanks a lot for your opinion and your encouragement. I think you’re right about that ;p



To haslansalam :
Thanks a lot for your C&C. Honestly I just feel i am still nothing in photography (still premature), and i have to add more knowledge, notice the positive advice / input from all of you, learn more, see more, explore more & try more. Hopefully someday if i feel more ready with all that i learn and also i can manage my time (especially my working hours that still tends to over time) to be more flexible, sure I am glad to share what may be useful to you

this should look better if u do a square crop at the bottom and increase the tonal contrast carefully.

To zoossh :

Thanks alot for your advice / input. Sure i will notice it and hopefully i have agood chance to apply it for my next shooting....;p

I like the shot of the Atapchi Helicopter (Apache). Curious are the noise added intentionally?

 

[Dearchivism]

To CatByTe :

Thank alot for your C&C ;p The noise was really at the photo when i set the camera to capture brighter with iso 400 (f/8 500 mm relected lens) at almost end of evening time / less light (18:57 meta data / exif data). Hopefully the noice appearance is still acceptable as for me also to make the photo become more rough / not 100% neat(clean) to show the character of the air force power (strong and tough)

 

[CatByTe]

Oh wow I find the noise kinda adds the feeling in with the Apaches I love it. I initially thought u had added in through PP lol..

 

[Dearchivism]

To CatByTe :
Thanks alot for your C&C and glad to know that the noice appearance is still acaptable...;p

To spindoctor :
Thanks a lot for your C&C. Yes for some night shot i used tripod. And also thank for you advice about having PP for some photos, i still have to learn more for that ;p


To Kit :
Thanks a lot for your C&C. The good thing about that I will make it as a support for me, and the bad thing I will try to learn and improve more. Sure I will notive your advice / input.
(hopefully what you've mentioned is truly from your mind, not from your emosion)
I’ve already seen your collections at flickr too. (apologize me for my premature opinion, since you’ve already said truly what ever in your mind, so hopefully I can say the same way) I have different interest and different style with you. At my eyes, some of your work are nice, but most of them are to standard (looks as if you are playing safety, not so unique, not so different and not so impressive). Already to many people’ve taken with that way(the angle, the frame, the proportion), so why don’t you try shot with more unique, more interesting & more challenging. Come on, photography is still part of art, there are so many ways, so many styles, so many opportunities, so much fredoom in doing that. For me, trying to do it in different way is not wrong (although that is tough and needs hard work to do) and not only the standard things (like exposure, some rules in photography, some other technique rules, etc) have to be followed 100%. The creativity, the unique, the spirit + the happiness of the photography is more important to me.

I absolutely agree! No doubt Kit's photos are great, but they seems to be shot by architects.
