Langkawi - Bonton

[foxxy]

Hi, would like to share some pics i took during my Langkawi trip earlier this year.
Stayed at this place call Bonton Resort, very nice place. They use old refurbished Kampung Houses as rooms/villas.

The pics are not very good, it was when i first gotten my SLR :) :)

Comments are most welcome so i can improve next time :redface:
Here goes...

1. This is the pool area, everyday you can see the guest sunbathing here

784
2. One of the Kampung house, it's refurbished with aircon and very nice lightings inside

786
3. Lots of cats around, it's also an animal shelter

787
4. Now this is really good, it's a free snack during tea time. I think it's a sort of pan cake served with beef rendang and pickled veges, really good :D

788
5. The cats like to sleep in this area....

Good day!

Suggest using jayhan technique in Photoshop to Velviaize photo to raise it to another level. Kampung house come into mind as a good candidate that shoulf fair well. Increase saturation on you photos to bring out color. My 2 Cents.

Thanks for pointer hanuman :) will try to saturate them more but i scare over do it.:rolleyes:
I still have a lot to learn....:redface:

Try this.

On the base layer of the background, press CTRL+J to create a duplicate layer. Then with this layer highlighted, go to create a new adjustment layer (as shown in the tutorial). Once all the settings is done, then u can justify if you would want it to be really vivid or not. If you wanna tone it down a lil bit, all you have to do is to just click on the channel mixer layer and set its opacity down to, say, 50%. This will then give you a good blend between the original colors, as well as the boosted ones.

Good luck!
