The road less travelled..


We humans are creatures of habit.Many smoker friends of mine want to stop smoking but they keep on doing it.Similarly,if I visit Pantai Irama,I will follow the same road and park almost at the same location.We are more comfortable with what we are familiar with.We feel safer.New things and new environments make us uncomfortable.We prefer to remain in our comfort zone.

Today,I decided to take detour from my normal roadmap.I took the off road to see the fishing village nearby.I was looking left and right for something more interesting to photograph, but suddenly I noticed a beautiful canopy of trees forming the arch gateway to a football field next to Kuala Bachok.I stopped my car in the middle of the road.No one was around anyway.So,I took few shots with my Samsung Galaxy Note5 and Fujifilm X100T.



As an amateur photographer,I saw this opportunity to improve my skills in composing a good photo using the kampung scenery  with  ambient natural lighting from the sun.The time was about 10:30am.From the few shots,I seleted the best two and did minor cropping.With photos taken via X100T,I have to do more cropping because of the wide angle lens.For landscape shots,I prefer my old Fujifilm XT1.

Note: The above photos were taken using Note5.

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...
