EyeEm Lession #06:Timing and Patience

Joining photowalk with fellow photographers made me learn a few lessons.I began to see people and things as they are on the streets.I keep my eyes and my mind open.No prejudice and sentiment-just look,see and react - to shoot or not to shoot!Plan nothing on what to see and capture.Just walk and go with the flow..

After a few walks in KL and Putrajaya,I have identified a few places where I go to take photos.It is the place and the time.The top and bottom photos were taken at Nu Sentral,KL.I love taking photos of people coming up the escalator.

During my few photowalks,I came upon a few interesting locations that have strong background patterns and colours.So,I just wait fot something to happen and get my shots.It is about timing and being parient.

Below are shots taken at shopping complexes

Whenever I am at the airports or railway stations,I find myself a place to shoot,Here are a few..

From my observations and experience in the last decade,the three factors shall determine what photograph comes out from each shot.The factors are the photographer,the subject and the camera.Timing and patience are related to the subject and the photographer.Good camera usially gives better quality image.

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...
