SEPTEMBER PHOTOWALK-Architectural & Abstracts

Our Putrajaya Photowalk is quite active lately.We have about 300 members and 200 of them are active in looking at the photos. However, only about 10% are active monthly contributors to the group archive of thousands of photos.

We shoot and we share.At every two or three months,we do photowalk in KL or Putrajaya. We plan to go outstations or even overseas in the future. Next outstation Photowalk is Ipoh, Perak.

Short Report on Putrajaya Photowalk

Architecture and Abstract-Sunday 10.9.2017

About a dozen showed their interest to join the walk.But only six managed to brace themselves against the rains that turned to drizzle. We began our walk at 8 am from Bulatan Masjid Putra and walked inside the bridge. Inside the bridge, we took some photos while waiting for the drizzle to fade away. Here, I asked Azul Adnan to show and teach me to take a portrait using natural light. From here, we walked along the corridors of Custom Complex and ventured to the back lane of the Ministry of Finance. It was a great joy to compose photos using various architectural features of the buildings.

From here, we crossed the road to take photos of Wisma Tulus and moved toward the Palace of Justice. On the way, we have a pleasant surprise watching hundreds of big bikers coming into the city centre for their group festivals. Most of us turned our cameras to shoot bikes not buildings.

From POJ,I led the group to explore Lama Qiblat and we went into the Masjid Besi. From Masjid Besi, we went down to see the new building-Kompleks Islam Putrajaya. After taking a few photos here, we walked back to Masjid Putra.

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...
