WELCOME 2016



Goodbye 2015 and I welcome 2016!

Last year,I was busy with my only three cameras i.e Fujifilm X-T1,Lumix LX5 and Smart phone Note3.Most of the shots taken were in the reverse order.Note3 is always with me and took the most photos.I also use it as a back-up when I went shooting with my XT1 or LX5.Picture quality?It all depends and not very much related to the camera.Photos depend on the subject,the camera and the photographer.

Since July,2014 I have uploaded 207 postings with more than 14,000 pageviews.Most views came from my Facebook friends who love photography.Most of the time,I uploaded a few photos and wrote short notes about them.I am neither expert nor a teacher in photography but what I did was to share my experience in photography engagements,explorations and adventures.

Over the last three years,I started a personal photography projects:
1.Postcards of Putrajaya
2.Bachok is Beautiful.

After my reviews of the photos with my peers and photography sifus,I need more better photos and the stories.I hope I could complete these projects in 2016.

What am I going to achieve and do in this year 2016?It is too long to plan.So,I decide to break the years into quarters.Each quarter has three months.In 1 quarter,I have 3X4=12 weekends.Then,I have more manageable time frame to plan,work my way and hopefully achieve my goals.

Here are my 1Q Goals:

1.Master my XT1-It has 50 features.

2.Read book on EXPOSURE and practise to improve it.

If you are new to photography,I suggest to learn more first on composition and light.The above photo is the outcome of my learning and gift from Allah.I took the photo in colour, but when I converted to B&W,the result was beyond my imagination.

To all my readers,thank you for taking time to read my humble notes and let us be better in whatever we do compared to what we did last year,insyaAllah.

Personal Note:Flickr account 33,453 photos uploaded.

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...
