Photos of Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix 2009 at Sepang International Circuit, Malaysia - Part 1
Salam and hello all. As I have promised before in my previous entry, I’ll share some of pictures that I have taken during Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix 2009 that was held at Sepang International Circuit last weekend. As I said in my previous entry, I went there with one of my housemate and another two friends of my housemate but we had separated during the traffic congestion on the way to SIC. So, me and my friend is one group and another two is one group. However, all of us have bought same section of ticket which is at Hillstand C2 but due to so many people there, we can’t find each other.
Stop till there, even though we only had to pay for a very low price of Formula 1 ticket but for parking, we didn’t get any discount. Hohoho, without any exception, we have to pay another RM50 for the parking which for me, I could say, it was not a proper parking and it wasn’t worth to pay RM50 for this kind of parking. Quite ridiculous price for me. Last time, when we went to SIC for Moto GP, we only have to pay RM5 for the parking but for Formula 1, it was 10 times higher! 
But, whatever it is, we have to pay for it finally since, if we didn’t pay, we have to park outside SIC and have to walk more than 1km to SIC. Who wants to do this under the hot sun?! What makes this ticket quite not worth for us is because the parking we have paid is valid for 2 days, which are qualifying and race day. But, we only come during the race day and do you think we should get half price of the parking fee? RM25 instead of RM50? LOL..
I think I have gone to far from the purpose of this entry. Ok, I won’t talk much, here we go. These are the pictures that I have taken during the event. Please proceed your reading and be patient while waiting the pictures to be loaded completely since there are a lot of pictures inside. Enjoy the pictures ya.
Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix (3-5 April 2009) - The Result
Salam and hello all. I know this is quite a late entry but anyway, I want to write a little bit about it because I went to this event, I mean ya, I went to Sepang International Circuit on 5 April 2009 to watch this Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix. Even though the ticket that I have bought is valid for two days which are qualifying and race day, but since one of my housemate who also the one who should accompany me to this event had his last exam paper on Saturday, so I decided to go on Sunday.
My housemate and I have bought the ticket for the Hillstand C2 at student rate. Hoho, the best thing to be a student is you’ll get a lower price of ticket up to 75% off! Isn’t it great? Haha.
Without further ado, for those who yet know about the result, I’ll tell about it now. I’m expecting some of you might not care about it, but whatever it is, here is the result.
1. Jenson Button (Brawn-Mercedes)
2. Nick Heidfeld (BMW Sauber)
3. Timo Glock (Toyota)
4. Jarno Trulli (Toyota)
5. Rubens Barrichello (Brawn-Mercedes)
6. Mark Webber (RBR-Renault)
7. Lewis Hamilton (McLaren Mercedes)
8. Nico Rosberg (Williams-Toyota)

If you watch the race last Sunday on television or you watch it lives at SIC, I guess you should know already what actually happened. I know the result was quite controversial since the race was completed only with 33 laps, but I think the decision that has been taken was the best since the rain was quite heavy on that day plus the race has started late, about 5pm and the race has stopped due to safety issue at 6pm and it was impossible for the race to be continued after the rain has stopped about 6.45pm. During that time, it was already dark at SIC. Moreover, SIC is not ready for night race like in Singapore.
One of my friends said that, I should claim back half of my money that I have paid for the ticket since the race was not completed completely, but I don’t think it is a big deal since it was an interesting race and I enjoy it. If you are the one who paid for the ticket, do you really think that you should claim back your money? Haha. Give me your opinion then.
I’ll stop here for now. Wait for my next entry for more photos during the race of Petronas Malaysian Formula 1 Grand Prix and at the SIC. I’ll post more pictures in the next entry. So, stay tuned ya! Till next entry, bye!
Photos/Pictures of Palace of Justice, Putrajaya, Malaysia in HDR
Salam and hello all. Huh, by posted this post doesn’t mean that I already have internet connection at home, actually, I at my cousin’s house at Ara Damansara, Subang and used Maxis Broadband connection to write and post this entry. I yet received any calls from TM for Streamyx matters since last week and have no idea when the connection will be available. Haih, TM please do it fast! 
Before I start, some of you might wondering what is HDR means? Here I quoted some part of text from Wikipedia, for details explanation you can proceed here.
In image processing, computer graphics, and photography, high dynamic range imaging (HDRI or just HDR) is a set of techniques that allows a greater dynamic range of luminances between light and dark areas of a scene than normal digital imaging techniques. The intention of HDRI is to accurately represent the wide range of intensity levels found in real scenes ranging from direct sunlight to shadows.
So, in this entry I want to share some photoshop edited pictures of Palace of Justice (Istana Kehakiman), Putrajaya, Malaysia. Actually, it were not totally photoshop edited, but I also used another important software to produce these HDR photos of Palace of Justice, which is Photomatix Pro 3.1. These HDR photos were generated from single RAW shot exposure then, converted into 3 multiple exposures using Adobe Photoshop CS3 Extended and finally merged into HDR photo using Photomatix Pro 3.1. The final stage which is tone mapping and some basic editing was done using Photoshop CS3. So, enjoy the photos and do leave your comments for me to improve my skills. Oh, forget to tell you guys, these HDR photos are my first attempt on HDR imaging hence do give some tips for me to improve it. I’m still learning. 
MotoGP 2008 at Sepang International Circuit Photoshots Part 2
Salam and hello everyone. So, as promised, here I show you some more photos from MotoGP 2008. As usual, please be patient while waiting for all the photos to be load. I know it may takes time, but just be patient ok? All photos quality reduced for web view.
Ok since I just used a prosumer camera, I can’t take any panning shot or even the photo of the bikes during the race because every time I tried to take the photo, my camera autofocus can’t focus to the bike due to the speed of the bike hence produced blurred unfocus image. So, no image of bike during the race I can show here. Hope next time I’m coming to this event, I could bring a DSLR. *Just hoping.
