FUJIFILM X-T1- BASIC 101

After my third attempt to join this class since last year,I managed to get a seat yesterday.It was very popular because many of us got our Fujifilm X-T1 at the beginning of last year,2014.The seats available are 15 persons per session,but only 8 of us attended the tutorial yesterday.

I am one of the few who read the camera manual,and yet I did not undertand as much I have understood during yesterday tutorial.I was shown the many features of the camera that I never use since I got my X-T1 sixteen months ago.What a waste of time.I just used whatever features and buttons that I am more familiar to my previous DSLR Canon 400D.Reading the manual can be confusing and I found out that I misunderstood the usage of some buttons and features.Thank Good that I attended this tutorial and met a professional photographer who came and joined my class.Mirrorless camera has a differrent way of taking and managing photos compared to the traditional DSLR where the pros were more familiar.Basic function of camera is the same,but firmware can vary a lot.My version is still 3.1 and now it is 4.0.

After attending this tutorial,I felt more confident to use my camera.My only regret is I should attend this course last year so that I didnot make more mistakes and make full use of the opportunities availlable for me in the last 16 months.On the other hand,my past year experience helped me to undertand my camera better.As they say,experience is the best teacher,especially bad and expensive one.

To fellow newbies and novices in photography,it is better to spend money on attending courses and buy books than buying new gears.Let us go shooting and have fun..Below are some snapshots at Nu Sentral,KL

Let the photo speak first?

Should photographers explain their photos, or let the images speak for themselves? A strong photograph can stand on its own. It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷

SOLITUDE

Solitude at the Water’s Edge At the quiet margins of Putrajaya Wetlands Park, moments of stillness often reveal themselves in the simplest scenes. This photograph captures one such moment — a lone bird standing calmly in the shallow waters of the wetlands, surrounded by patches of emerging green and a mirror-like surface that reflects the sky above. What makes this scene compelling is its sense of solitude. The bird stands alone, yet it does not appear lonely. Instead, it seems completely at ease in its environment. The calm water, lightly textured by ripples, creates a soft canvas where reflections blur the boundary between sky and earth. The bird’s reflection anchors it in the frame, quietly doubling its presence in the landscape. The composition embraces minimalism. Most of the frame is filled with open water and subtle tones, allowing the bird to become the natural focal point. The scattered patches of grass break the uniformity of the water surface and hint at the slow, livi...
