This shot was taken on a very warm evening by the lakeside at the Muzeum Layang layang which is famous for its annually held International Kites Festival where participants all over the world comes here to show their craftmanships in kites making and flying it of course. Everyday in the late evening, hordes of people from all walks of life will come here with their families and children for all kinds of activities like kite flying, jogging, kids enjoying the playgrounds and people like me....photographing. This image is a 3 exposures HDR processed picture. Without this kind of process, the colour just won't pop due to the strong sun at the background. Yes, many still cannot accept HDR photography but why is that? We are just trying to bring out the best of an image seen through our eyes which the camera cannot produce. The camera's sensor can only see 2 stops of light while our eyes can see 5 stops. What I did was just merging 3 to 5 images together to produce the image with minimal touch ups in photoshop or GIMP. It is better than painting the pictures with all kinds of brushes and sprays in the photoshop isn't it?
