GEOMETRY:ROOF CURVATURES

When I was an engineering student in early 70's,I used a drawing board, set squares, rulers and French Curve for my drawing class work. To draw a curve,I use a French Curve. Nowadays, the student uses AutoCAD - just click, copy and paste.That is an easy part.The difficult part is how do you transform those drawings into curved roof ceiling,trusses and walls?

My architect friend has a simple way to do it.He just put a small note-To Engineers Details!That is where engineer's nightmare begins.

At my golden age,I am not bothered how to do all the engineering stuff. Now is my time to enjoy the beauty of curvatures wherever they are and capture them on my camera. Later, the good photos are selected for sharing at my Facebook and blogs.

One of my favourite 3-D Roof Curvatures is at KLIA.Every time I am at KLIA, I will take a photo of it. Usually, I will include some human elements to make it more alive and interesting.

This is at Amsterdam Centraal-the city railway station. I love the shape, span and colours.

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...
