KL PHOTOWALK 19/2/2017


This is our first Photowalk for Putrajaya Photowalk Group this year -2017. Last year I organised three times but I also attended other photo walks organised by others. We kicked off at Masjid India, crossed the Jalan Tun Perak and explored areas around Pasar Seni. Sadly, Pasar Seni is only open from 10am. We were here at about 9:30am and missed the chance to explore Pasar Seni. However,I was very pleased to see colourful people around its vicinity.

Market, by its own nature, is full of the lively and colourful crowd as shown above. By the way, I love to shoot colourful umbrellas.

 Two subjects that attract my interest when I walk in the city-the people and the buildings.Over the last 50 years old buildings are fading away and more new buildings are coming up.Commercial considerations had taken over historical interests and significance.Such is life for many newly developed nations.

Are we building liveable cities in our countries?I have yet to see it in Malaysia.May be it will take another 50 years more..
By the way, there are a few activities on The River Of Life Project for Kuala Lumpur.

Sadly,a few old buildings with grand designs are rotting away.


This photowalk is a special one for me personally.I wanted to walk again the route I took from KTM KL Station to Wisma Waspada Restaurant near Wisma Yakin on 10.1.1965-the first time I arrived in KL on my way to SDAR,Tanjung Malim,Perak.From that day,I began to fall in love with train and railway stations.

New elevated walkaway from Pasar Seni to KTM KL Station

By 10am,we arrived at KTM KL Station.One thing that nobody has changed here is the roofs and the steel trusses.It is the same since I first saw it on Sunday morning 10th January,1965.







I had a field day watching the coming and going of trains-not to mention capturing the people on the platforms. How I wish I could stay longer.May be another time,InsyaAllah.

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.

COMPARISON BETWEEN MY IPHONE 14 ProMax VS FUJIFILM XT20

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. Sensor & Processing iPhone 14 Pro Max Uses a 48 MP quad-pixel sensor that down-samples to 12 MP by default; ProRAW unlocks full 48 MP output   . Features Apple’s “Photonic Engine” that enhances detail, color, and low-light performance via computational photography  . Produces excellent detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range—especially in daylight; however, images sometimes show over-sharpening on foliage/glossy textures  . DXOMARK cites strengths like vivid color, wide dynamic range, sharp detail, and low noise; potential drawbacks include clipping highlights and noise indoors  . Fujifilm X-T20 Features a...
