REFLECTION ON MY PHOTOGRAPHY:2012-2017-Take One

TOURISTS IN KL

Canon 400D is the first DSLR I managed to buy at the age of 54 years old.Not that I could not afford to buy earlier, but my interest in photography was not strong enough to get me to pay RM3500 for a camera. Thank God I made that choice but sadly I did not make full use of it to explore and learn photography as I should have done it. I think it was my complacency due to my Lumix LX was good enough for me at that time.

By the way,all the photos here were taken using Canon 400D with its kit lens.

One fine day in 2012, my friend Nazley lent me his 50mm prime lens.I used it for more than two years until my Canon 400D went kaput in end of 2013. This lens really made a drastic change in my way taking portrait photography. I love it very much. Previously, I hated taking portraitures, The lens read made my photos look better.

Looking back,I had my Canon 400D for 7 years but I learned very little because I seldom use it .Sadly,most of the time when I shot photos, it was in Auto Mode.If only I could get back my 7 years with Canon.Opportunity to learn just turned into clouds of dust!

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...
