PASAR JELAWAT-A PHOTO STORY


Pasar is the meeting place for locals,where they eat and chat,where they buy goods for their daily needs.It is also the business hub for the community. Pasar Jelawat is THE Best market in Bachok since my childhood days in the 50s..It is alive every day.These photos I am sharing were taken on Friday,Malaysia Day 16.9.2016.


All types of rice are sold here daily.Nasi bleak,nasi dagang,nasi kerabu and all.And cakes are of all kinds.My favourites are tepong pelita and beko.


Below is a shop selling something that only the locals know about it.




Kelantan people like sweet cakes. In Pasar Jelawat, one is lost for choice. Too many to choose from.




Some agro-business people just sell their farm produce either from the backs of their trucks or on the roads. Control is difficult but necessary-otherwise people cannot get in to buy their needs. Parking fees are enforced here to create order.

 Below is a funny but good looking machine to make Air Batu Campur.


Here is a man who wanted to be alone for the madding crowd in the market.

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.

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...
