Night shots


I sleep early by 10pm.As I grow older,I prefer to stay home at night-unless on special occassions like wedding,festival or going for family dinners.So,there exists very little opportunity for me to take photos at night.When I was younger,I took night photos with my Lumix camera during my night cycling in Putrajaya.

This lack of experience increases my probabilities to fail in getting great night photos.Many a time I failed to shoot good night photos even with my  Canon 400D-my first DSLR camera that I bought in December,2006.Whenever I went out at night,most of the time I took along Panasonic Lumix LX5.Somehow,I can get it to make better night photos compared to my Canon 400D,

The above and below photos were taken using Lumix LX5 at Putrajaya Light Festival.There were so many good photo opportunities that I lost due to my little knowledge to use my gears and my lacking in skills to take night photos.Lately,when it comes to taking photos at night,I pull out my Samsung Galaxy Note5-a very smart mobile phone with great lens.




I love to watch dancing and colourful water fountains at night.Since April,2016 my default camera for night shots like the above and below photos is Note5.So far,it serves my need but not my expectation.




At night,the building can look different from other nights.It is all about its lighting and the lighting of nearby buildings and infrastructures.Luck plays a lot especially when it comes to weather.When it rains,I just order more coffee and stay safe in the restaurant nearby-Umai Cafe.

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...
