My Travel Photo #2

Here are some more pictures that I took during our holiday in Kuching, the capital city of Sarawak. All These pictures were taken using Nikon D90, AF-S Nikkor 16-85mm 1:3.5-5.6 G ED lens and build-in flash.

To produce these pictures, I also use the same technique with my first travel photography; edited by using some type of software to enhancing the photos. However, for the picture below, I did not change or edit much except for the hue and saturation.

For these pictures, I use the preset that found in Color Efex Pro, including Cross Balance, Color Stylizer and Darken/Lighten Center. To get a trace of smoke in the picture, I was spraying some white color. The main idea is to create a classic and historic photograph, since there is a lot of history at the Kuching city.

Perhaps, my editing techniques are incorrect or not follow the concept. However, the meaning of a picture is subjective and it depends on the individual. As a beginner, I need to try several techniques to get me interested in color tone.

Of course, produce pictures like this is not an easy job, especially when the picture is quite poor quality. This is where I learned one thing; I'm supposed to learn what's best for taking pictures, not learn what is best for editing the pictures!
