Menjelajah Negara Lain

Ok, kali ni nak cerita pasal Jalan-jalan cuci mata, haha kami memang suka jalan-jalan setiap tahun abah mesti ajak pergi jalan kalau bukan abah ajak mesti adik beradik akan ajak, abah tak ajak sebab poket koyak nanti haha kami menjelajah ke beberapa buah Negara masa kecil aku sudah menetap di Negara lain sebab abah seorang juruterbang masa muda-muda jadi kami hidup pindah-randah memang best hidup di Negara orang kami belajar pelbagai cara baru, adat mereka, cara mereka bercakap dan pelbagai lagi. Aku paling suka pergi turkey dan berbelanja di Beijing, China dan Indonesia . Turkey sebab tempat dia menarik tak dapat digambarkan macam mana menariknya, sampai sekarang aku  masih teringat “Turkish Delight” iaitu sejenis manisan pelbagai bentuk dan perisa sangat manis ok makanan ni tapi sedap. Kami pergi banyak tempat Istanbul, Pamukkale dan sebagainya(maaf tak berapa ingat) haha di Istanbul amat popular dengan Masjid biru atau nama lain Blue Mosque, memang cantik. Pemandangan malam memang cantik. Rutin harian aku bangun tidur buka tingkap dan hembuskan nafas sebab ada keluar asap sejuk (macam orang jakun) haha pukul 7 lebih pagi waktu sana dah macam tengahari waktu sini. Shopping dekat sana memang koyak la sebab dia gandakan haha Turkey memang best sangat pemandangan yang menarik dan berharap dapat pergi ke Turkey lagi jika diizinkan dan dipelawa haha

Beijing, China

Hai beijing :) nak cerita sikit pasal beijing ni, kami pergi beijing tahun Mac 2009 seingat aku, kami berempat saja pergi Abah mak, kakju(kakak 1st) dan aku. hanya kami berempat saja pergi kerana yang lain ada urusan masing-masing tapi aku "beg tangan besar mak yang mak akan bawa ke mana saja mak pergi" bak kata adik beradik la haha tapi itu dulu sekarang dah tak la sebab dah jauh dari keluarga jadi tak dapat teman mak lagi pergi ke mana-mana walaupun kedai runcit dekat dengan rumah haha setibanya kami di sana kami terus di bawa menonton teatern cina (mungkin la) best juga tengok ingat kan tak best. selepas itu kami di bawa ke hotel letak barang lepas tu keluar balik untuk makan tengahari, kami di bawa ke restoran islam cina tapi makanan mereka memang dipenuhi dengan minyak dan telur sampai naik muak tengok telur bila balik Malaysia. susah nak cari air manis kat sana dorang minum teh cina, tak sedap! pahit haha sebabkan tak sedap dan tak nak minum air teh tu membuatkan aku rela menelan air paip seteguk haha, keesokkan harinya kami di bawa ke "Great Wall of China" atau nama lain "Tembok Besar China" gayat sangat sebab dia tinggi dan curam tapi best juga naik tembok besar china tu. Hari-hari terakhir di beijing kami di bawa ke Shopping centre. wohooo suka! murah memang murah tapi biasalah buatan china, tak kisah lah buatan apa yang penting shopping tetap shopping haha Beijing best dan harap dapat pergi lagi tapi kalau boleh tak nak makan nasi minyak banyak dan banyak telur.

Sepertimana yang kita tahu kali ni kite menyambut perayaan Aidilfitri pada tanggal  30 Ogos 2011 dan 31 Ogos pula kita menyambut hari kemerdekaan. Ok nak cerita pasal raya tahun ni. PUASA DAN RAYA TAHUN INI AMAT BERBEZA maklumlah sebelum ni kat rumah makan sedap-sedap bila dah sambung belajar dekat Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris, Perak rasa janggal pula dan kena hidup berdikari tidak merasa makanan yang Ibu masak pada awal ramadhan. Sedih juga tapi ini la lumrah hidup kita perlu berkorban demi kejayaan kita. For the first time buka dan sahur kat rumah pada 27 Ogos 2011, Sedapnya makanan di rumah berganda-ganda sedap dari makanan yang aku beli hari-hari kat perak. Ok, balik kepada cerita asal, 1 syawal biasa la bangun pagi (padahal tak tidur excited nak raya punya pasal) haha lepas bangun mandi, pergi solat raya harap maklum ni baru pertama kali pergi solat raya haha dah balik solat boleh la pakai baju raya, makan kuih raya, dapat duit raya. Kiteorang berkumpul satu keluarga dengan saudara-mara tapi raya kali ini rasa macam semuanya perlu berjalan dengan cepat :( .Lepas salam-bersalaman kami pergi berangkat ke Singapura menyambut raya di sana. Belum sampai dekat kastam johor kereta dah banyak panjang sungguh jam nasib baik abah bijak, dia lalu shortcut punya jalan fuhh lega sekali sampai kastam Singapore tersekat lagi mane nak lari pun tak boleh haha duit raya belum banyak tapi kena balik U itu lah tanggungjawap seorang bakal mahasiswi.

Photo Editing Tips

I have some photo editing tips to shared.

First of all, we must Choose The Best Photo Editing Software. It is a fact that amateur, as well as professional photographers, and photography aficionados are continuously in search for the best photo editing tool available. Since we are in a digital age, photography too has taken a great leap from analogue to digital, and has produced fantastic results. Now, since there are hundreds of photo editors available in the market, this can confuse beginners as to what they will choose for them to make that award-winning output. What you can do is you can search the internet for photo editing program reviews, and if you have found a “highly recommended” program, you can try it if it works for you. You have to be at ease in using the program because even if the program is “highly recommended” yet, you don’t know how to use it, you won’t be able to create stunning photos like the one you have in mind. After that we must Crop and Rotate for images that are not taken with a straight frame or when the subject is way off center or if it’s lacking in perspective. All you need to do is use the Crop tool of your editing program of choice. It is usually indicated with a scissors icon. Cut the image you want and move subject to where you want it placed. Rotate the image if needed. Enlarge it or make it smaller is also another option to do. Or you can cut the excesses. It’s really up to you to make the necessary adjustments. Adjust The Colour is also one of the tips of photo editing it is because Sometimes, the colors that come out in an image don’t always look that good. You can try adjusting the levels first because it sometimes does the trick, but there are times that a little tweaking must be done. I usually press CTRL U and adjust the hue, saturation, and lightness of the image. I use Photoshop by the way. If there are still problems, then its time to get down and dirty – and that is to do things manually. If you’re a beginner, it takes a lot of practice before getting this right. Lastly, i want to share about The Advantage of Digital Photography in Image Editing, Most people who are new in photography question the experts, “what’s better? Analogue or digital photography”? Their differences are actually obvious. Digital photography allows the person to transfer his or her photo on another device (i.e. computer) immediately after the photo was taken. However there are some disadvantages. Since it is “digital”, the capability of the photographer can be questioned. Unlike analogue cameras, you can edit your photo’s quality if it is digital. Analogue users can too, however, the quality of the photo can be greatly reduced if the photo was scanned (RGB and scanner’s DPI issues). Nevertheless, digital photography is promising. The person has to have an eye for creativity and a knack for innovation for the edited photo to look excellent.

Umrah

Alhamdulilah dapat juga update blog ni pada masa terluang ni, ok aku nak cerita pasal Umrah seperti yang dinyatakan kat tajuk utama aku. Alhamdulilah, dapat juga aku melaksanakan ibadah Umrah kalau tak kerana abah dan rezeki yang tuhan berikan kepadanya tidak sampai kami ke sana. Kami pergi umrah pada Mei 2008 seramai 8 orang iaitu Abah, mak, kak dila, kak imah, mak long, nenek dan aku. Ejen kami yang membawa kami ke sana adalah Azza Travel, ejen di Singapura seramai 23 orang mengikuti ejen tersebut. kami tiba di Changi Airport, Singapore pada pukul 8.30 am (seingat aku laa) mula la berkumpul sedara-mara, cucu-cicit nenek dan sahabat handai. Flight kami pukul 11.30 am waktu tempatan. pukul 9lebih bermula lah sesi peluk-memeluk, meninggalkan pesanan, menangis dan bacaan doa, teramat sebak masa itu. 

Pakcik-makcik, nenek, dan kakak

Yusra Nazira dan Siti Rahimah (kakak ke 4 dan ke 5)

check passport dan tiket.

Ok, berbalik kepada cerita tadi, lepas adegan sedih kami melangkahkan kaki pergi meninggalkan orang yang tersayang buat sementara waktu hanya doa yang dapat kami iring dan mengharapkan mereka juga begitu air mata masih belum henti tetap turun tanpa henti bukan tak pernah tinggalkan adik beradik yang lain tapi kami takut jadi apa-apa tatkala kami di sana, melihat mereka dari jauh, jauh dan semakin jauh mereka hilang dari pandangan ku. Melangkah masuk ke dalam pesawat Singapore Airlines dan bersedia untuk terbang, Selamat tinggal semua doakan kami. Pesawat sampai atas je aku dah mula berdengkor eh tak la berdengkor maksudnya tidur sampai tak sedar pesawat berhenti kat Abu Dhabi kejap untuk menurunkan penumpang, telefon bimbit dikeluarkan dan di buka mula la mendail nombor orang tersayang( siapakah? ) haha mak telefon kakak menyatakan kami di Abu Dhabi, selepas beberapa jam, pesawat kami pun berangkat ke destinasi yang hendak dituju iaitu Jeddah.

Kami tiba di King Abdulaziz International Airport, Jeddah tak ingat pukul berapa tapi pagi dalam pukul 1lebih aku tak berapa ingat kami menaiki bas untuk ke Madinah, kami tiba di Madinah sangat teruja dengan ke cantikkan dan betapa bersihnya kawasan mereka alangkah bahagia dan bangganya kalau malaysia bersih macam negara mereka. Kami tiba pun mengangkat beg dan masuk ke dalam hotel, Hotel kami berdekatan dengan Masjid Nabawi, selepas beberapa jam kemudian azan subuh berkumandang kami mula mengerjakan solat subuh di Masjid Nabawi terpegun sangat! melihat masjid nabawi bulu roma tegak bila tengok masjid tu cantik sangat tak dapat gambar kan melangkah masuk ke dalam masjid dengan lafaz Bismillahirrahmanirrahim :') ramainya orang pelbagai jenis kaum, kulit warna yang berbeza, cara berpakaian, dan ada yang bertatu pun solat dimasjid maklumlah mazhab berbeza. 

First time, solat subuh kat Masjid nabawi salah cara solat la haha macam kita di malaysia doa qunut tetapi mereka di sana sujud sahwi (tak silap) selepas memberi salam. memang tak khusyuk solat masa tu, pandang kiri pandang kanan pandang kakak, kakak pandang balik dan bertanya "Kita salah rakaat ke dik?" tengah sujud tu boleh pula kami bercakap haha. ke Esokkan harinya kami pergi ke raudhah katanya tempat itu boleh segala yang kita doa termakmul di situ terdapat makam Nabi Muhammad S.A.W. Kami ulang perkara yang sama setiap hari solat, pergi masjid, pergi raudhah dan pergi shopping pun ada juga haha.

Kakak ke 3 dan ke 5(Malam terakhir di Madinah)

Kemudian harinya kami berangkat ke Mekah untuk mengerjakan ibadah umrah setiba nya kami di Mekah kami mengangkat barang dan masuk ke bilik yang telah disediakan. Bersiap sedia untuk mengerjakan ibadah Umrah, setibanya kami di Masjidil haram terduduk dan sujud syukur aku kerana terpegun melihat kaabah yang tersergam indah Ya allah, Alhamdulilah aku dapat lihat dengan mata aku sendiri dapat jejak dengan kaki aku sendiri dan dapat sentuh dengan tangan aku sendiri.

Kami di Mekah ingin megerjakan umrah pada pukul 11.00 malam.

Abah jatuh sakit kerana di hempap semasa ingin mencium hajar aswad, dia di masukkan ke hospital selama 3hari apabila pulang ke Singapore jantungnya dimasukkan belon kerana saluran jantungnya tersekat, sekarang abah dah sihat dan gemok semula haha Love you Abah Mak. Hari terakhir di Mekkah

Dipendekkan cerita kami berangkat ke Jeddah semula dan tidur disana satu hari pengalaman yang sangat indah kami pergi ladang kurma, ladang unta muzium dan bermacam tempat kami pergi. Memang tak terkata betapa hebtanya ciptaan illahi. Pergilah kamu ke tempat yang di wajibkan oleh-Nya jika mampu


Alhamdulilah kami selamat sampai di Singapura dengan selamat dan berangkat pulang ke tanah air tercinta iaitu Malaysia :)

Photography tips

For those who want to learn about photography I have some tips about photography.

Selection - select only the best of your pictures to show to others and leave the rest in the drawer. Showing someone every picture you have taken dilutes the effect of the best pictures and gets very boring.

You may want to show twenty pictures of little Johnny at the park because they are all quite good and you can't decide which are the best but, trust me, you will be better off making that decision and showing only the few good ones.

Turn on the camera on it's side - At first it feels awkward holding the camera on it's side, but it is worth getting used to. If the shape of your subject, a person or a building, fits into an upright rectangle, you waste so much picture space if you shoot in landscape. You paid for all those millions of pixels, don't waste them. One of the easiest ways to improve your photography is with careful attention to framing. Look into the corners of the viewfinder to see what is there. Do you need all that background? Can you get closer to your subject or zoom in? Would the picture look better as an upright or landscape?

The most common mistake people make when taking pictures is not filling the frame with the subject. If it's a photo of granny waving from the doorstep, let's just see granny and the door, not half the houses in the street with a small granny shaped blob in the middle. I think the culprit for this phenomenon is the focusing aid in the center of the viewfinder. Most cameras have some sort of circle or rectangle etched onto the glass and we are inclined to think, in our less thoughtful moments, that this is the whole picture area. Take a moment to glance around the viewfinder to see what you have got at the edges and especially in the corners. Watch out for clutter in the background, that lamppost growing out of granny's head. Make sure that everything in the viewfinder is there because you want it to be.

Direction of Lighting - Photography is all about light, the direction of the light falling on your subject is most important, you must look at your subject carefully and see how the shadows fall.

If you are able to choose the time of day to shoot your pictures, try to pick a time when the sun is low in the sky, either shoot in the early morning or late afternoon. Shooting pictures of people with the sun too high in the sky, tends to mean the subject's eyes will be in shadow and/or your subject will be squinting in the strong light, both of which tend to look horrible. A nice side effect of shooting in the early morning or late afternoon is that the color of the light is 'warmer', reds and yellows are stronger which generally gives a more pleasing effect.

If you are photographing in sunlight, try to position yourself so that the sun hits your subject from the side, this will give you nice 'modeling' and help create a 3D effect in the picture.

Sunlight behind the subject can give a very pleasing 'backlight' effect but be careful that you are not getting 'flare' in the lens, which degrades the contrast of the image.

Shutter Speed and Aperture - If you are photographing fast moving objects such as cars or people running you need to select fast shutter speeds to capture the sharpest picture you can. One exception to this is when you are panning the camera with the subject, the object of the exercise here is to render the subject sharply and blur the background, so a careful selection of the right shutter speed to do both is necessary. I often find that a little blur in the right places on a picture gives a greater sense of movement than if everything is pin sharp. This blur, however, must be in the right places, normally we want to see the head and torso rendered sharply but, if the feet and hands are blurred, it can often be a good thing. Blurring the background can also get you out of trouble when there is a lot of clutter that will detract from the main subject. Getting the shutter speed right to render the correct balance of sharpness and blur on any given subject can really only be determined through trial and error. One of the great advantages of the digital camera with it's instant playback is that this learning process can be a lot shorter than it was before. If you have a zoom facility on your playback of pictures, now is the time to get familiar with it. I had my digital camera for quite a while before I realized that I could review my pictures and zoom in to check the sharpness.

"When the shutter speed is important as with moving objects, it's a good idea to set the camera to 'Shutter Speed Priority' mode. This is where you select the shutter speed and the camera selects the appropriate aperture according to the light reading"
