STOLEN PORTRAITS



Two years ago, my friend Nazley lent me his 50mm prime lens so that I could explore portrait photography.I really had a great time shooting my family members and friends portrait photos. Before I discovered this 50mm prime lens,I did not and dare not take portrait photos. Why?Simply because I got bad photos. But with a 50mm prime lens,I discovered the beauty of portrait photography and learnt that portrait photography is not as easy as landscape photography or taking photos during my cycling trips.

 Top photo is Mr Peter Sanders-a famous British muslim photographer.He exposed Islamic arts and architecture for the world to see.Below is the fist woman I fell in love with.She is my mother..






Above is my friend Muhamad Alwi. We were at Sheffield University in the 1970s. He is a prolific photographer and has inspired and motivated me to keep shooting. Below is my cousin Muhamad Amin.









The above photo of mine was taken by Azman Karib Ibrahim, a pro photographer while we were on the train to Seremban.


Age makes a lot of difference on how we look. Below are photos of my relatives and friends..












When we get older,we prefer to be among our peers.But at times,I sit down with younger men to share my life experience.




Now, my Canon 400D went kaput and I have returned 50mm lens to Nazley.I plan to buy a 35mm lens for my new Fujifilm XT1 and start shooting portraits again.InsyaAllah.

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. Sensor & Processing iPhone 14 Pro Max Uses a 48 MP quad-pixel sensor that down-samples to 12 MP by default; ProRAW unlocks full 48 MP output   . Features Apple’s “Photonic Engine” that enhances detail, color, and low-light performance via computational photography  . Produces excellent detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range—especially in daylight; however, images sometimes show over-sharpening on foliage/glossy textures  . DXOMARK cites strengths like vivid color, wide dynamic range, sharp detail, and low noise; potential drawbacks include clipping highlights and noise indoors  . Fujifilm X-T20 Features a...
