POETRY OF CURVES


SOME CURVES LOOK  LIKE POETRY OF LINES


A straight line is very simple.Knowing any two points on any part of the line,we know where it comes from and leading to.It is very safe to predict where the line will go but not the cuve.The curve is very dangerous.You only know a part of it - we don't know where it begins and  where it leads to.That is the nature of curve.

Looking at the photos above and below,curves are more interesting and seductive than straight lines.Curves are every where in nature and man-made environments especially in the cities.We just need to look around the corner-the pun is intended.



My first encounter with a French curve was when I was in form4,circa 1969.I bought one set to assist me to draw curves in my mathematics exercises.As they say,the rest of my learning is history.My learning curve continues into the world of photography.Below is one great collection curves used in Masjid Tuanku Sultan Mizan in Putrajaya.



Lilies flowers have beautiful curve lines.



Below are a few more examples ..

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.

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   .

Produces excellent detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range—especially in daylight; however, images sometimes show over-sharpening on foliage/glossy textures  .
