FULLY MANUAL


I got my first DSLR in December,2006.For almost five years,I shot photos in auto mode or program mode.Honestly,I dare not venture into fully manual mode.To me then,all my shots using auto mode were great!I meant good enough..

Some time in 2011,I met a new friend in photography. He noticed that most of my photos look the same-technically speaking.Then,he guided me to shoot in manual mode.Slowly,I learnt to set up my camera for specific shots.Reading online articles and watching Youtube helped me a lot in getting me to make full use of my camera.By the way,some functions are still puzzling me.

Fast forward to 2014 when I got my Fujifilm X-T1,I began to learn to use a few dials on the top of the camera.Learning takes time and efforts.By end of 2016,I was able to shoot in Manual Mode with ease.However,when I am shooting street photography,I go on program mode,aperture priority.

Lessons learnt:

1.Donot remain in your comfort zone too long.

2.Learn from anyone and any where.

3.Never be afraid to try.

4.Master your camera.

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...
