REFLECTIONS


WHAT IS REFLECTION?

As a man I don't use much mirror like ladies do.Once a while,I do need to see how I look like.Then,we men go to the washroom.Reflection is the mirror image of something but not necessarily reflected by the actual mirror.Anything that reflect light-like glass on the table as shown above and the transparent glass divider at the railway station as shown below.What we see in the reflections are sometimes beyong our own imaginations.How did I see that way?It all depends on case to case basis.The light is the common denominator in  the few variables in the equation!



Below is the view seen from under a bridge.The water behaves like the mirror but the semi cicular underpass has become a tunnel by itself.The water is no where to be seen.When real image and the reflected image merged together,the line of symmetry disappered.I was so close to the subject matter that I was drown in the water and dissappeared like water  under the brilliance of light.The mirror fades away..Writing this note made me breathless.


Mirror reflection,at best is still a distortion of the reality due to lateral inversion.In general,reflection is the interplay of light with the space-time ambiance.It changes with the variables.In fact,the so called reality of what we see is actually already a reflection captured by our retina.To see reality,we need the experienced  eyes of the knowledgable  minds.

Let the photo speak first?

  Should photographers explain their photos, or let the images speak for themselves? A strong photograph can stand on its own. It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷

SOLITUDE

  Solitude at the Water’s Edge At the quiet margins of Putrajaya Wetlands Park, moments of stillness often reveal themselves in the simplest scenes. 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. The calm water, lightly textured by ripples, creates a soft canvas where reflections blur the boundary between sky and earth. The bird’s reflection anchors it in the frame, quietly doubling its presence in the landscape. The composition embraces minimalism. Most of the frame is filled with open water and subtle tones, allowing the bird to become the natural focal point. The scattered patches of grass break the uniformity of the water surface and hint at the slow, livi...
