COMPOSITION 1.0

I knew the word 'composition' when I joined SDAR in 1965.Composition, then was to write a story.Since my primarry school was in Malay medium,I have to enter a Remove Class to get me at par with those who studied in English medium primary school.It was hard work but most of us got by and became as good or better than those who were from English medium school.

I learnt the hard way- we need to know English words and grammar to make us proficient to write sentences,paragraphs and finally the story.Only then,we can have good composition.In short,to write a good composition,I need to have a good command of my English language.


Similarly with photos that tell good stories.Photo must be well composed to tell your story.In the above photo,the foreground,the subject and the background are my words  and my paragraphs.The light and the angle are my command of the language to articulate my story.

Composing a shot is just like composing a story to write.However,it is more demanding as the photographer has no control of what is taking place around him.It is both a science and art.

Another great impact element is lighting as shown below.But,that  is another story...




 On a few lucky days,I was given a beautiful scenery that I am lost for words just like shown above.The dramatic sky was beyond my composition.I just saw and snapped The Moment.

KB WALK

I planned to have four days of Photowalking around Kota Bharu #KBWalk ,but due to unplanned family errands which I love doing for my  mother and son,I only managed to have two days with only less than 4 hours.Herewith I shared two photos taken behind Pejabat PAS. To do justice to the town,I need at least 7 full days and nights to capture the history  and culture of the place.My first attempt had revealed a lot more for me to explore,discover and capture.Another missing dimension I need to have with me before I embark on KBWalk is the history of Kota Bharu. It has to be another time..May be after Eidil Fitri.

COMPARISON BETWEEN MY IPHONE 14 ProMax VS FUJIFILM XT20

No camera is suitable for every occasion. Here is a simple comparison. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and I love both. When I go photowalking with friends, I use more smartphones than the Fujifilm XT20. FUJIFILM XT20 iPhone 14 Pro Max (Smartphone) vs Fujifilm X-T20 (Mirrorless) – Image Quality Breakdown IPHONE 14 PRO MAX 1.
