Environmental Portraits?


As a beginner in photography,I shot a lot of landscape photos.Why?it is the easiest subject.Not much can go wrong and most people can get away with nice landscape photos-not great and not that bad.Most of us falls under this category of snap shooters of landscape photos-and I was one of them.

As we gained more experience and learnt some knowledge and techniques along the way,then we can produce good and great landscape photos.I am very happy that after seven years I bought a DSLR,one of my landscape photos was used in a property sale advertisement by Putrajaya Holding Sdn Bhd and one was sold at Getty Images.Now,I am happy that I can shoot good landscape photos but there are millions better ones all over the world.

It was not difficult to shoot good landscape photos but it is not easy to produce great ones!

When it comes to ladies portraits,I am a new kid on the block.My only experience was shooting portraits of my grand children.Here,you can see two photos taken at the same place.How do I combine my skills if any to shoot beautiful ladies in beautiful environment to make beautiful Environmental Portraits? 

My dear ladies:That is a tall order for a short photographer like me.Anyway,I never say no-especially to beautiful ladies.So here are the photos.Anything not good are all mine.My apologies to the ladies for my failure to meet your expectations.


Notes; The ladies in the photos are my riding buddies.These shots were taken using my compact camera LUMIX LX5 with no tripod and only natural lighting.

COMPARISON BETWEEN MY IPHONE 14 ProMax VS FUJIFILM XT20

No camera is suitable for every occasion. Here is a simple comparison. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and I love both. When I go photowalking with friends, I use more smartphones than the Fujifilm XT20. FUJIFILM XT20 iPhone 14 Pro Max (Smartphone) vs Fujifilm X-T20 (Mirrorless) – Image Quality Breakdown IPHONE 14 PRO MAX 1. Sensor & Processing iPhone 14 Pro Max Uses a 48 MP quad-pixel sensor that down-samples to 12 MP by default; ProRAW unlocks full 48 MP output   . Features Apple’s “Photonic Engine” that enhances detail, color, and low-light performance via computational photography  . Produces excellent detail, color accuracy, and dynamic range—especially in daylight; however, images sometimes show over-sharpening on foliage/glossy textures  . DXOMARK cites strengths like vivid color, wide dynamic range, sharp detail, and low noise; potential drawbacks include clipping highlights and noise indoors  . Fujifilm X-T20 Features a...

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. 📷
