SCOTT KELBY PHOTOWALK 2022

Briefing before the Photowalk

I have been attending Scott Kelby since 2015. It was led by Raja Indera Putra.He never fails to meet my expectation as a group photowalk leader. Keep it up, Ripi! In the photo above, he was giving a briefing of the walk, explained the route and gave some guidance. Every photo I shared has my own reason. You can read at the caption below the photo.

Colours attacted me to stop and got my friend to take photo of me. Many facades of commercial buildings are painted with great design and colours. These vibrant colours attract customers.

The route chosen is a familar ground for most of us who loves to do street photography. Why did I join the photowalk which I could have done alone at my own time? It is the companionship of like minded people to walk together and as well as having great conversations while walking or eating at pitstops and restaurant where we eat and drink together. At the same time, I am gathering photos and experience of photowalk because I plan to write about the Joy of Photowalk-Any Where.

People taking a rest after a long walk and just sit to watch the world goes by.

I am planning to write a book or zine about the joy of photowalking. Photowalking is a global phenomena and most photography lovers in most cities all of the world do their group photowalk. It is a way of getting together and an opportunity to share knowledge and experience on photography. With more than half of the world population have smartphones, they take and share billions of photos daily.

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...
