Exploring KL on Bicycles

I started going to KL Car Free Day since the middle of last year 2015.First,I just followed the crowd cycling on designated controlled roads of about 6km.Then, a friend led me to explore cycling track of Klang River and all the way to Midvalley.On return journey,we stop at Nagas Restaurant at Brickfields for our tosai rawa and teh tarik.On anothe occassion,I followed my tribe to Lake Garden and Petaling Street. For this week,I plan to explore cycling at Taman Tasik Titiwangsa.Our route will pass through Jalan Raja Laut,Jalan Pahang and Jalan Tun Razak.I hope we can ride safely.InsyaAllah.

With my mother at Pasar Tani,MAEPS

I am very happy that my mother can still come to my house in Bangi.She lives with my son in our house in Pondok Beris Bachok where I was born in 1952 until today.My father passed away in 1980.This is the place where my mother grew up since the mid 30s,got married and raised her family.This place is where she belongs and prefers to live here for the rest of her life. Two days ago she came to send off my brother for his family umrah.I am very happy that she decided to stay with my family for two days before she goes home.Even at my age at 63 and now a grand father,I still craved to be with my mother at every opportunity. So,this morning I took her here to see this lively Pasar Tani.We had satay for breakfast and talked about old times.Just between her and me. She was very impressed with so many choices of food and grocery stalls.I bought her laksa Penang for her brunch and nasi ambeng for my lunch.

DEEP PHOTOS

Deep photos are photos that have depth as above and the rest of the photos I have included in this blog posting.Photos are 2-dimensional objects and yet when we view some photos,we see the depth due to our perception from the DOF in the photo.Some are shallow DOF and a few are deep DOF.Both have their own beauty. P hoto is physically 2 dimensions -length and breadth.The depth is the 3rd dimension in your perception when you see the photo.Ex:The objects get smaller farther away from us..It is about the relative positioning of things to each other.

Human element in Landscape Photography

How about the human element in a landscape photography? From my observations of great landscape photos and reading from experienced professional photographers,they have different views.It all depends on your feeling about the place.When it comes to feeling,then it is personal.This is what photography is very interesting.We agree to differ and celebrate our different views. For ordinary hobbyist  photographer like me,I don't belong to any camps or school of thoughts.I do what I like and enjoy most.It is the fun of capturing the photos and as well as keep seeing the images that I shot and I like.To me passion comes before profession.I am not yet good enough to be a professional photographer but I do have the passion for it.In the last 10 years,I have more than 30 thousands photos taken and uploaded at Flickr. Here ,I shared three pairs of landscape photos-one without human presence and the other with human presence.I cannot choose which one I like more but I li...

DIFFERENT FORMS OF BEAUTY

Beauty depends on the distance.This bridge is more beautiful seen from a distance but these three mugs on the tables look great when we see them at close range. Both the above and the below photos are gifts from Allah to me- to see and to capture.I was there at the right place and at the right time.I saw and I took photos of them the best I can.There is no way to get them second chance! It takes two to tango.Both are British design and workmanship. Below is my mother,the most beautiful woman in the world!The only woman who loves me without any conditions.

PATTERN FORMATION AND RECOGNITION

At 6:30 pm yesterday,I saw a very strong sunlight falling on the porch of my house.When I opened the door,I saw the image  as shown below-the shadows of the hand rail and the staircase. By looking at the above photo,you can deduce how I got the shot below. I hope it looks artistic ..
