CAMERA SETTINGS #02

OLD HABITS DIE HARD.I ONLY LEARNT MY LESSONS WHEN I GOT HURT.

WE ALL DO.

It happens again and again.I did not learn because the mistakes did not hurt me much. My photos did not have the right exposure and blurred but I could not care because I can do it again some other times.But my recent cycling in Holland taught me one big lesson because I lost two golden opportunities.

One reason was my failure to re-setting my camera suitable for the place and weather.I wanted to make it and shot the scenery.What made it worse I was wearing sunglasses.My photos were over-exposed because I did EV compensation!

In my Fujifilm X-T1,I have 5 groups of shooting menus and 3 groups of set up menus.I have gone through these menus and their options.Some of them can make or break our photos.When I bought my first DSLR,I did not learn anything much because I set mostly on Auto mode and making a few variation to shutter speed and apertures.

I realised my mistakes and started to learn more about my camera since two years ago.Learning takes time and I am still learning to make the best use of my camera.

So, keep learning your tools and master them!

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...
