I had to plan for this..

It's been 3 day and I shot nothing other than my wife and kid. I didn't believe it when oXp said that when you're out with the family, you don't have time for anything else. I was in a mess, with a camera in my hand but nothing to show for..

I was thinking of a way the night before. Day breaks... and it's game time.

I told my wife that my stomach wasn't well when I woke up, but I was well enough to go out with her to KLCC. That was just part of the plan. Half an hour through the shopping, I began the second part.. 'I got to go' I said. 'My stomach is acting up again. You go ahead and I'll catch up..'

So there I was, running down and out the mall, turning my head around as I went further away to find a good angle. 20 minutes went by, I decided I had enough to keep me satisfied for a few days. I ran back.

I looked for the toilet, wet my trousers a bit and went searching for my wife. I told her I had a little accident and I was waiting for my pants to dry. 'That's alright' she mumbled with her eyes looking at some shoes.. She was in her own world then. She wouldn't even noticed if I had gone for 2 hours..

I was trying to do something different in my processing.. something more natural but has a pinch of oohs and aahs. I had 4 trials on this photo, each time from scratch.

A lot of work on this. I had to place back most of the leaves on the top left corner because doing HDR with moving objects creates ghost which I didn't like, blending a few layers to remove the burnt out areas of the sky and a few other tweaks.

I wasn't successful with the natural look. I need a teacher..
