Last night I have a dream,I was walking along the path I saw a temple along the way, when I decided to walk toward to the temple a bird chirping attracted me, suddenly my alarm clock rang.....-_-!!!

Today as usual i went to my daughter's school to fetch her,the time is still early so i decided to hang around there. I continued walking until i saw a temple,this let me thought of yesterday's dream. The next moment,i saw this beautiful bird...... Is this bird chirping in my dreams yesterday ?

It's pretty hard to catch this bird + his long tail without obstruction. After shooting him for one year finally got him perched on the branch with full tail.

Nice rocks, and I like the composition. I would prefer to crop off the bottom most rocks though... Maybe do a panoramic crop 16:9..

The trouble for me is the funny coloration throughout the scene, did you have trouble PP'ing the casts away and just emo desat, it looks as if that was done. :think:

Thank you.. Still figuring how to make the most of scenes though... Need to find out how to see things the way some of my favourite landscape photographers do.

Some recent architecturals taking with K5 and Tamron 10-24mm..

Very nice!
Looks like you got to a very good vantage point for this.

From a recent KL weekend.
Had a chance to go to a street market in KL (too bad I'm real bad at remembering names ...)
Its certainly a fresh atmosphere for me, as I've not been to one in ages.
Too bad we did away with ours for the sake of 'moving up' (prices too.. )

Sat down for some aromatic Hainanese 'tea' (coffee/tea mix) which really refreshed the mind as well as body.
And the food.. man!

All taken with the old reliable FA35/2. The normal perspective and FOV on APS-C is always good as a street lens.

Hi thanks for the praise and advices. It means a lot to me as a newbie. I saw your works and they are fantastic. I'm honored to have your advice. To be honest I'm still very new to pp... Even newer than my experience in photography which is 4months+. I wanted a pale feel of the sea and rocks and some vibrant colours in the sky. I don't know why but it's how I felt and wanted. I was just playing with the contrast and vibrancy for this picture settings in ps

Oh I forgot to add I was using tian ya square Grad colour filters, yellow and red. With red slightly above yellow to give it a colour tone, yellow colour filter deliberately not aligning with horizon to give a 3rd colour tone.
