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!

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.
