PHOTO WITH MEANING

Many beautiful photos are just beautiful,but do not carry much meaning.It is just like beautifully decorated food at the hotel but its tastes like normal meal at roadside stall.Ten years has gone by since I bought my first DSLR camera.With a new toy,I shoot almost anything I like that look nice.As the years went by,I began to take better photos and  look nicer.When wisdom creeps in slowly,I am now more interested to get photos with meaning to me personally and to the society in general.

 The world famous professional photographer has this to say in her new year 2017 resolution:

 Take photographs that bring you joys,work on projects that are uplifting and give back to those who matter to you.

And that was what I was doing in the last two years.It does not matter whether I get 10 likes or 100 likes at my facebook.What matters more is I am enjoying my personal journey in the world of photography.


However,I do make use of my photos to convey some messages that matters to me-in my Facebook and in my blog.

 One of my hobbies is cycling.I know the fun and the joys of cycling.Cycling on a flooded trail is a special event.And I love it.Here is my shot of my fellow rider when we did Putrajaya Wetland Ride many years ago..Scary,hard pedalling but great fun.




This beach Pantai Irama, located in Bachok will remains special to me forever.The above photo was a rare sight that I was given to photograph.Alhamdulilah.This is my first seaside that I came to know since I was a kid-about 60 years ago.Good or bad is still my beach that I belong to.Just look at the families having picnic here-as shown in the photo below.It reminds me when my mother took me here many,many years ago..

 When I got my first DSLR,I began to take photos in Bachok.This is my personal photo project entitled BACHOK IS BEAUTIFUL.





 This is Zuhayr Adib ,my first grandson.-4 years old.He was smiling from ear to ear enjoying his first train ride to KLIA.Lucky boy.My first train ride was when I was 13 years from Palekbang to KL to Tanjung Malim in January,1965.


As an engineer who loves mathematics,geometry is my passion.Not only in theory but also in its applications in the real world.Here is my lucky shot of the LRT Tunnel taken when I was on the train  from Ampang Park to KLCC.What a beautiful 3-D geometry in motion!


Street Photography is new to me.I am still exploring it at my own pace-since three years ago.Whenever,I found a nice place to take photos,I just wait like an angler for the fish to bite.Expect nothing,whatever  shot I get is a gift.I am grateful to be given a chance to shoot this image.A sight to behold!

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...
