PHOTOGRAPHY QUOTES

Some quotes on photography by well known photographers are very inspiring and revealing the true nature of what is photography.This week,our theme of the week for Putrajaya Photowalk is based on QUOTE ,mainly about photography and life.The response is very good.

“The wisdom of the wise and the experience of the ages are perpetuated in quotations”. – Benjamin Disraeli

On my wedding in 1977,there was only one photographer.Fast forward to today,I saw at least two official wedding photographers-camera and video.In addition to that ,at least 10 unofficial photographers from the attendees will be snapping photos like the one you see above.It is the technology.

“ You don’t take a photograph, you make it. – Ansel Adams

“ Beauty can be seen in all things, seeing and composing the beauty is what separates the snapshot from the photograph. – Matt Hardy

Nowadays,everyone with a smart phone and camera takes photos every day.I read that more than 150 millions photos are uploaded and shared in the Facebook daily.Most of them are snapshots and some are really great captures.As an avid amateur photographer,I enjoy looking at great shots in a few online photo sharing websites like 500PX, YOUPIC, FLICKR,TUMBLR.Personally,I have more than 30,000 photos at Flickr.

“ You’ve got to push yourself harder. You’ve got to start looking for pictures nobody else could take. You’ve got to take the tools you have and probe deeper. – William Albert Allard

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.
