I just come back from Fraser Hill, which need to drive roughly two hours from Kuala Lumpur to the north. I seldom heard about Fraser hill compare with Cameroon Highland, or Genting Highland, or even Bukit tinggi. These are places that really wellknown in Malaysia for their chill environment as well as many attraction.
I manage to take this great photo that required me to wake up around 7 am and then go outside from my hotel room, and I have prayer group with few brothers before I took this picture. I love the environment and also the temperature over there. The weather is really wet and it rains often so it is pretty dangerous when bring DSLR camera without water proof bag.
Taking picture of landscape in this condition is pretty easy, I always put my focus on nearest land, which is the trees area, and I increase my f-number to gain sharpness of my background, and I wants to get ‘blue’ feeling in my skies, so I increase my shuttle speed which force me to increase my ISO to make the exposure correct.
High ISO makes my photo looks grainy, which the effect that I do really looking for, and set my white balance around 5k area to make it ‘cold’ effect. Thus with this technique I manage to obtain the picture above, and with little correction in saturation in the lightroom (decreasing it around -2) and wallahhhh… My photo is achieve the effect in my mind.
