    2011 | A Year in My Camera View

    2011 had been an interesting year for my photo journey. We went to the Philippines for the first time, that was exciting and beautiful, went back to Indonesia to visit families and had a chance to go to Sulawesi and dive in Bunaken, something that I’ve always wanted as it was apparently one of the best diving spots in Indonesia.

    The highlight was when we were about to go home to Darwin and visited my aunt in Denpasar and was looking for a taxi and then someone with his motorbike grabbed my EOS camera and ran away, but then the insurance was easy enough to cover the lost and with the same price as the lost camera I bought, I could upgrade to a better one. Although, I still can’t forgive myself for not backing up the photos from that holiday.

    And the other highlight is I made some of my shots into the local newspapers, and one of them, which was the Cyclone Carlos, was on the front page.

    Anyway,  😊 here are some photos from 2011 that I like, should’ve been more with the lost one:

  • Ultra Slow Motion Video with Twixtor

    Ultra Slow Motion Video with Twixtor

    I am obsessed with slow-motion video with Twixtor, it makes your slow motion video smooth. What it does is it fills the gap between your frames so there will be no rough movement on your slow motion. It can enhance your video that was taken in 50fps or 60fps to 1000fps or more. Its a dear software but cool. Wonder if there’s an open source version of it 😀

    Here are some interesting examples:

    Interesting Bokeh Photography

    In my definition bokeh is how you play around with shallow aperture. It could be lights at night, color or subjects. Wikipedia describe it as  the blur or the aesthetic quality of the blur,in out-of-focus areas of an image, or “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light. Here are some interesting bokeh photography:

    Now that you mention CINEMAGRAPH

    Cinemagraphs are the development of .gif images and how we create them which becomes a great innovation in digital photography. It’s a cinematic loop in a form of a .gif image. Firstly introduced by Jamie Beck and Kevin Burg who described in cinemagraph.com: “an image that contains within itself a living moment that allows a glimpse of time to be experienced and preserved endlessly.”
    It looks like a movie file but it’s a .gif still image where some parts of the image are moving smoothly. Since it was introduced, lots of photographers created this style, even amateur photographers can do it, here are mostly their first attempts at Cinemagraph:
