EATING ANY TIME

FULLY MANUAL

I got my first DSLR in December,2006.For almost five years,I shot photos in auto mode or program mode.Honestly,I dare not venture into fully manual mode.To me then,all my shots using auto mode were great!I meant good enough.. Some time in 2011,I met a new friend in photography. He noticed that most of my photos look the same-technically speaking.Then,he guided me to shoot in manual mode.Slowly,I learnt to set up my camera for specific shots.Reading online articles and watching Youtube helped me a lot in getting me to make full use of my camera.By the way,some functions are still puzzling me. Fast forward to 2014 when I got my Fujifilm X-T1,I began to learn to use a few dials on the top of the camera.Learning takes time and efforts.By end of 2016,I was able to shoot in Manual Mode with ease.However,when I am shooting street photography,I go on program mode,aperture priority. Lessons learnt: 1.Donot remain in your comfort zone too long. 2.Learn from anyone and any...

EYEEM LESSON #07:JUST WALK AND SHOOT

I usually have something to shoot when I go out and walk to take photos.However,I keep my eyes and ears open all the way.From my experience in photowalking with street photographers,I just keep  in the back of my mind what I intend to shoot.Many a time it  is better to shoot what comes to me in an interesting way and at unexpected time. I never plan to take this shot as shown below.It just came  to me when I was going for my lunch at KLIA2.What is more important is to act fast-shoot first and think later.The moment like this won't wait for me to be at the right place and to shoot with good camera. Not in my wildest imagination of taking photo of a man who 'walk' his dog while he is cycling! And yet,I saw one in Bangsar when I was going to buy a drink from a food truck by a special name-The Grumpy Cyclist! As I was walking away from shooting  sunset at The Marina,I turned my back when a family passed me by in the opposite direction.W...

SHOTS OF SHOPS

Thank God for my photography hobby.Now,I am not bored anymore whenever I have to wait while my wife  is  buying groceries etc. at the supermarket.The longer,the better.It gives me more time to loiter around the shopping complexes to shoot photos. HOW DO I SHOOT A SHOP? The shop is a premise,with the products to sell,the seller and the buyer-like the one shown above.How do I shoot the shop?It depends on what you want to say.I am showing the 3-D of the shop taking the photo from this angle at the same time high lighting its proeducts in a yellow packages.Plenty of them..   The most important components of any business is the customer.Without customers,there is no business.Q.E.D. Cafes are mushrooming in every city and town.Thank God,my kampung still have the Kedai Kopi where I can have breakfast for less than RM5.Nowadays,our Malaysian cafes look like world class when it comes to interior decorations and F&B ,but we don't have Coffee ...
