SHARING,ARCHIVING AND GET NOTICED

Assuming I take 10 photos a day,and in one year,I will have at least 3,000 photos.No wonder,my flickr account has more than 20,000 photos.It was here that an advertizing agency noticed my landscape shot of Putrajaya Wetland and bought to use in advertisement to sell properties for Putrajaya Holding Sdn. Bhd.This is my first photo sale and for the time ever my photo was splased in three national newspapers.As non-professional photographer,it was my happiest moment since I bought my first DSLR in December,2006.My Flickr account is free.

About two years ago,I subscribed to a paid account at 500px.com.It is a good photo sahring website but it does not suit me.Now,I am keeping it as free account.

In 2014,I joined another photo sharing and archiving website.It is called EyeEm.com.It is more friendly and active as compared to Flickr and 500px.com.It was here that I got noticed by EyeEm and I was selected to be one of the subcribers chosen to submit my photos to be evaluated and put on at Getty Images.Todate,I have more than 100 photos at Getty Images and last week,I got one sale.It was very rewarding and inspiring to be recognised and acknowledged.

To new comers to the world of photography,I suggest you use this EyeEm.com.It is free,and you may get noticed like I did.As they say,the rest is history..

As Fujifilm camera owners,we have our own Malaysia Photo Club online at Club.fujifilm.my.Here,I upload and share my photos.I also take part in the competition.So far,I won none!

I love photography as much as I love cycling and reading.I blog about it but I also share with many of my friends at my Facebook.Facebook has a bigger audience than my blog.Whatever,we need to be at the right place to get noticed if we want to sell our photos or service.

I am not a professiona photographer but I hope to be a photo journalist for newspapers or travel magazines when I retire from my active business in project management consultancy and business lectures and coaching in a few years time.InsyaAllah.

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...
