EyeEm Lesson #01-Identify A Subject

First thing first.To shoot,I must have the ability to see something.Second,I have to decide how and when to shoot.It takes less than 5 seconds to decide when I took this photo as shown below.It is the moment-either you see or you don't.If you see,either you shoot or you don't.

Referring to the note given by EyeEm above,we need to plan and be ready to shoot in the way that the photos will come out more interesting.In the above photo,there was no planning at all.It just happened on my way to the departure hall of KLIA.I saw,I composed and I shot and I shared.

In normal cases,we plan ahead what and where and when to shoot .If I want to shoot black swans in Putrajaya,I must go to Putrajaya Wetland in the morning.Take along my zoom lens and tripod.

A good photographer is just like a ccompetent engineer.He must have knowledge,skills,tools and techniques and last but not least good attitude.

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...
