HIGH KEY PHOTOGRAPHY

“ In layman’s term, it is taking photographs with white background. High key photography is basically eliminating shadows by letting more light into the camera. So the majority of the tones in the photograph are in the highlight region. This gives the photograph a positive mood and a sense of calmness.”-Quoted

I discovered this genre by mistake as shown above about a month ago. Since then.I have been trying to get more of such photos but it was not an easy task in an open environment. In a studio, it is much easier with controlled lighting but not in the urban or open environment. That is the challenge.

Below are a few shots were taken in Manual Mode and Special Filters included in my Fujifilm X-T1. I am still learning to grasp the meaning and the techniques.

A few of the above may not qualify for HIGH KEY Photography. Please forgive an old student who is a new kid on the block.

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.
