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.

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.

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.
