Healthy start for a healthy life

As Friday was the final day for our externals, we decided to start our holidays with a healthy dose of morning walk at Air Itam Dam Penang.

Photography was a more appropriate description of what we were doing there.

“ some of the pictures in more beautiful details can be found here

Maybe I should include some EXIF data thingy rubbish to make myself sound more pro LOL.

Picture control used VIVID so newbies out there using Nikon, you should start getting to know your camera better.

Buying an expensive camera doesn’t mean you will definitely 100% sure to take awesome pictures, you need to get used to it first.

Something about taking wideangle photographs in the forests is the greenery, the shades of green is so wide it probably made the metering go crazy…

At first my white balance was set to auto and it was darn bluish, then set to cloudy instead. It’s warmer that way.

I loved the light for that day. Kind of cloudy with lots of beautiful diffused lighting. We were lucky.
