Sunset at Tanjung Lipat, Sabah, Malaysia

Sabah is blessed with great sunsets with an abundance of places to get wonderful colours in the evening. It is an opportunity as well to test the RX100 Mark 2 and see what it can deliver. I seldom go out nowadays because most of my time are for my baby girl. Together with my good friend and fellow Sony shooter Fareez, we head out to Tanjung Lipat one fine evening.

I have not purchase a filter kit for my camera. Sony does sell a snap-on filter kit which costs RM 99.00. Thought of getting that but since I think I will only use it occasionally, I put the purchase on hold.

Without a proper filter kit, what did I do? Handheld filter of course! I put the camera on tripod and held the filter in front of the lens. I borrowed the ND10 filter. The RX100 however only allows aperture up to f11.

f11, 10 sec, iso 100

 f10, 8 sec, iso 100

 f8, 10 sec, 1/1125

f8, 10 sec, iso200

Played around with the filter and got multiple-exposure alike! 

The new shooter..Sony RX100m2

Lately...or for quite some time I don't have time or opportunities to take photos and share it in FB or here. Apart from time, another reason that contributes to that is the fact that I'm a bit lazy lugging around my DLST. I go out a lot, but most of the time without the camera and only equipped with phone. And I find it quite a hassle to take photos of my baby while another hand holding her.

So I decided to sell off my a77, lenses and flashes...and go small. Small as in the pocketable RX100m2. It was either m2 or m3. Longer zoom, hot shoe versus bright lenses, shorter, no hotshoe. Since I think I'll be using that for portraits as well, I bought the m2. Love the wifi sharing function. Very useful after every school events.

I lug it around all the time. Who knows something nice might pop out. Photos during Christmas trip holiday were nice as well. Will share that later. For now, need to read the manual again. :D.
