REFLECTION ON MY PHOTOGRAPHY:2012-2017-Take Two

MY FIRST GRAND DAUGHTER

From my Flickr account,I still shoot photo using compact camera -Kodak 3500, Panasonic FX8 and Lumix LX5.Most photos taken during 2012-2013 were taken using Lumix LX5 even though I had my DSLR 400D.Lumix LX5 my The Camera until it died due to old age together with my Canon400D. By the Grace of Allah,I received a gift of Fujifilm X-T1 from a kind friend. That is another story.

Why did I buy Lumix LX5? It was due to my active cycling-on weekends and sometimes at night. We roamed the nooks and corners of Putrajaya and I had to buy a new camera in order to capture so many beautiful spots along my cycling paths.

Below are a few photos taken along my cycling paths.During that period,cycling is my prime activity and photography was just snapshots for my memory.Nowadays, it is the other way around- going to take photos on my bicycles. As they say,the end justify the means.And it is also correct the means justify the end. Just choose which one you like!

Below is my obssesion then to take photos of my noctornal activities-cycling at night.Lumix LX5 did a very good job taking photos in low light conditions.

With Lumix LX,I have a set menu to select for different genres of photogrphy. As a novice and lazy to learn part time amateur photographer,I use Lumix LX for any difficult task like taking photos of sunset as shown below.

From nice photos taken using Lumix LX5,my interest in photography grows wider and deeper.In March,2014 I discovered Fujifilm X-T1. That is another story

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...
