There is more to landscape photography than just arming yourself with a wide-angle lens and shooting at small apertures. Some shutterbugs make an the effort to wake up at the crack of dawn, aiming to capture that majestic sunrise, but often, they fall short. The result: Washed-out skies and underexposed foregrounds which can be quite discouraging for the budding hobbyist. If this sounds familiar, fret not as we have five useful tips that should help you improve your landscape photos. 1. Quality of light
In landscape photography, the quality of light can make or break a photo. Many experienced photographers will tell you that the best time for capturing landscapes are during the "golden hours". Typically, they are short periods in the mornings and evenings, which give images an overall warm glow. This results in three-dimensional images due to an interplay of light and shadow. For those who can't drag themselves out of bed to catch the sunrise, try shooting sunsets instead. 2. Position, position, position
It's always wise to visit the location of your shoot beforehand. This allows you order to determine the best vantage points to shoot from and observe how the light falls during different times of the day. Typical vantage points can produce images that were "shot-to-death", so try looking for more obscure areas to shoot from to ensure you get images that are different from others. 3. Highlights and shadows
The camera meter tends to be biased and often exposes for the foreground, leaving the sky looking like a white mess of blown highlights which lack detail. For cameras with manual controls or exposure compensation modes, try underexposing the image by one stop to retain more detail in the sky. Image processing software--such as Adobe Photoshop--find it easier to remedy an underexposed foreground than to salvage blown highlights in the sky. 4. Skies and clouds
Clouds give landscapes a sense of depth, space and drama. In a landscape photo, skies that lack content appear uninteresting and this is especially so if your foreground subject is not eye-catching. For countries located along the equator such as Singapore, skies are plain and lack the blue you see sub-tropical or temperate locations. To capture more vivid skies, shutterbugs can use a Circular polarizing filter to enhance the blue in skies. Compact cameras also have color settings such as Vivid or Scenery mode which make skies look more saturated and dramatic.
5. Silky waters
Sharp images of flowing water can come across as boring. Rivers and waterfalls are best captured with a slow shutter speed where the motion blur gives viewers a sense of the movement. The best way to capture silky smooth water is to use a slow shutter speed, a steady tripod and a small aperture (F11 to F22). For more artistic shots, use a Neutral Density (ND) filter slow down your shutter speed even more for really misty water! Some compact cameras even come with scene modes that help beginners to automatically achieve this effect.

Video 2011 UEFA Champions League: FC Barcelona vs Manchester United 3-1
Just as in 1992, Wembley provided the setting for a Catalan celebration as FC Barcelona turned on the style to beat Manchester United FC 3-1 and claim their fourth European crown.
Barcelona were worthy winners, taking the lead through Pedro RodrÃguez and responding to Wayne Rooney's equaliser with two superb second-half strikes from Lionel Messi and David Villa.
If Barça's triumph at the old Wembley broke down a barrier with their first European Champion Clubs' Cup, this underlined the Spanish titleholders' status as the continent's dominant force – their third UEFA Champions League in six seasons conferring the stamp of greatness on Josep Guardiola's side. For an outplayed United side, it was a sorry repeat of their Rome defeat by the Blaugrana two years ago. There were dancers with umbrellas in the opening ceremony and even the simulated sounds of a storm but it was on the pitch that lightning eventually struck twice.
For a short while, it looked like things might turn out differently for the English champions. Sir Alex Ferguson selected an attacking formation, resisting the temptation to pack his midfield and instead fielding both Javier Hernández and Rooney in attack.
As in Rome, his team raced out of the blocks, pushing up and aiming to deny Barcelona the time and space to find their stride, and briefly the ploy worked. Barcelona seemed edgy as Hernández hustled a defender into losing the ball on the edge of his area. Javier Mascherano, starting in central defence in place of Carles Puyol with Éric Abidal at left-back, then failed to deal with Edwin van der Sar's punt down the middle, forcing VÃctor Valdés into urgent action to deny Rooney.
Inevitably, though, Barça clicked into gear, and they fashioned the first clear opening on the quarter-hour as Xavi Hernández drove in a low cross that Pedro, drifting free of Fabio, turned wide. Barcelona soon had United pinned back as more chances came. Villa flashed a shot narrowly wide before forcing a low save from Van der Sar. A superb Nemanja Vidić challenge then foiled Messi yet, in the 27th minute, United were undone.
Xavi was the architect, advancing into United territory and picking out Pedro with a diagonal pass. The winger's movement had carried him clear of Vidić on the right side of the box and he applied a cool finish, sidefooting the ball into the near corner with Van der Sar wrongfooted.
Amid the many predictions about this contest the general consensus appeared to be that United needed the first goal. However, they responded seven minutes later with a fine equaliser, their first and only attempt on target. After Barcelona had lost the ball from an Abidal throw-in, Rooney surged forward on a one-two with Michael Carrick. He then slipped a pass to Ryan Giggs inside the area and met the Welshman's return ball with a superb curled finish into the far corner.
Sir Alex had anticipated "the final of the decade" and an absorbing first half almost produced another goal when Messi drove forward and after feeding Pedro on the right, was just a whisker away from meeting the return.
United's respite was short-lived as Barça resumed control after the restart. Although Van der Sar saved from Daniel Alves, Messi restored their advantage after 54 minutes. Collecting a pass from Messi, the Argentinian cut inside Patrice Evra and punished Vidić's failure to close him down by sweeping the ball past Van der Sar from 20 metres. Messi's ensuing explosion of emotion showed just what the goal – his first on English soil but 12th in this season's competition – meant.
The little magician could have had more goals as Barcelona went for the kill. Van der Sar denied him with his legs before Fabio kept out his back-heeled effort with a goal-line block. Van der Sar, on his final appearance, offered a fitting reminder of his class with a full-length dive to foil Xavi yet he had no chance with Villa's third goal after 69 minutes.
Although United stopped Messi's surge into the box, substitute Nani lost out to Sergio Busquets who teed up the Spain striker to curl an exquisite finish into the top corner.

Nur Kasih The Movie: Nilai Cinta & Pengorbanan
Saya pada mulanya tidaklah teruja untuk mengikuti slot drama ini dulu di TV3, Selepas versi dramanya mencipta fenomena dan mendapat sambutan hebat di kaca TV sepanjang 25 tahun kewujudan TV3, ia telah pun dijadikan Filem. teruja juga ... tapi suka lihat sinimatografinya menarik..
Penghasilan versi filem ini didorong oleh banyak faktor termasuk barisan pelakon hebatnya juga. Selain itu terbukti berdasarkan kajian oleh AGB Nielsen Media Research, sebanyak 4.3 juta penonton mewakili 55.8 peratus penonton memilih drama Nur Kasih.
Siaran ulangannya tanpa iklan juga mencatatkan rekod tersendiri apabila mencecah dua juta penonton setiap kali ia disiarkan. Semoga usaha projek filem ini akan membawa kejayaan dengan kos filem ini dianggarkan menelan belanja sebanyak RM2.5 juta
Mengenai pelakon pula, yang jelas Remy Ishak, Tiz Zaqyah, Fizz Fairuz dan beberapa pelakon asal dikekalkan. Cuma Ummi Nazeera saja yang tak dapat meneruskan komitmennya kerana melanjutkan pelajaran di Melbourne, Australia. Beberapa karakter baru juga diwujudkan,
Jalan ceritanya boleh dikaitkan dengan sesiapa saja tetapi dengan sentuhan Mira ia jadi seperti sebuah cerita dongeng yang cukup indah. Mira bijak bermain dengan watak dan emosi malah menerusi filem ini Mira ketengahkan penceritaan yang barangkali di luar jangkaan pencinta setia Nur Kasih

Mei 2011 Harga Gula pulak naik lagi ...
Adoi, baru je minggu lepas harga minyak naik, minggu ni harga gula pula. Minggu depan harga barang apa pula mau naik ni?
Kalau tiap-tiap minggu harga barang naik macam mana nak hidup ni. Ya, hidup boleh tapi ibarat kais pagi makan Kais pagi makan chicken chop. Kais petang, makan chicken chop (iklan baru KFC..) haaa..jgn makan kaki ayam aje sudah le..
Harga gula naik 20 sen kepada RM2.30 sekilogram berkuatkuasa 10 Mei 2011.
Penyelarasan subsidi itu akan membolehkan kerajaan berjimat sebanyak RM116.6juta.
Menurut Ketua Setiausaha Kementerian Dalam Negeri dan Hal Ehwal Pengguna Mohd Zain Mohd Dom, kenaikan itu selaras dengan keputusan Mesyuarat Majlis Ekonomi pada hari ini.
"Langkah ini adalah selari dengan strategi jangka panjang kerajaan untuk merasionalisasikan subsidi secara berperingkat-peringkat," kata Mohd Zain.
Jelasnya, walaupun perubahan harga runcit dibuat, ia adalah lebih rendah berbanding negara serantau, termasuk Indonesia, Singapura, Thailand dan Filipina.
Beliau malah menyebut harga gula di negara-negara berkenaan sebagai perbandingan.
Kali terakhir harga gula naik pada 4 Disember lalu, sejajar dengan kenaikan Harga petrol RON95, diesel, Petroleum Gas Cecair (LPG).
Kenaikan yang dikenali sebagai "4-dalam-1" itu menimbulkan kemarahan banyak pihak, termasuk mewujudkan beberapa siri bantahan, terutamanya sekitar Kuala Lumpur.
Pada masa itu, harga gula turut meningkat 20sen, menjadikan harganya RM2.10 sekilogram.
Sebelum itu, berlaku juga kenaikan pada 15 Julai tahun lalu dalam kenaikan "5-dalam-1.
Selain gula, turut mengalami kenaikan dua gred petrol, diesel, gula dan gas pada masa itu. -mk

Mei 2011 Harga Minyak Naik Lagi ...
KUALA LUMPUR, 4 Mei 2011 (Bernama) -- Harga petrol RON97 akan naik 20sen ke RM2.90 seliter berkuatkuasa tengah malam ini, demikian menurut Persatuan Penjual Pengusaha Stesen Minyak Malaysia (PDAM).
Naib presiden PDAM Datuk Zulkifli Mokti berkata, peningkatan ini disebabkan kenaikan harga minyak mentah.
"Namun harga RON95 dan diesel kekal seperti sekarang," katanya ketika dihubungi Bernama.
Pada 2 April, harga RON97, yang diapungkan mengikut harga pasaran minyak semasa, naik 20 sen ke RM2.70 seliter ekoran krisis Timur Tengah.
Petrol RON95 kekal RM1.90 seliter.
