Make your photo mean something..


I got my first Canon DSLR in December,2006 but I seldom use it.Most of the time,I was using my Panaonic FX8.I took the easy way out.No need to learn complex photography techniques using DSLR.Anyway,the DSLR was in auto mode for at least five years before I began to shoot in program or manual mode.My learning curve was almost flat during that period.However,when I got my 50mm prime(lent by Nazley) to use with my Canon 400D,my photography started to improve a lot.By sheer good luck,I managed to sell a few of my photos to advertisers.



In March,2013 a kind soul gave me a present -Fujifilm X-T1.This camera was a God sent because I got it about two weeks after my Canon 400D died due to old age.XT1 inspires and motivates me to learn more on how to take better photos.What is better photo?Everyone has his own version of great photos,but for me it must have meaning and/or also have a story.Composition is very important.Looking back to the last five years,most of my photos are just snapshots in which objects appeared some where in the frame.



Good photos are photos OF something.In some  cases,the emotions are included in the photos.In a few cases,they photo tells its own story!

The above three photos have one common denominator-beauty.How did I get these shots have their own stories.However,each one means a lot to me in a very different way.The second photo means a lot more to me.She is my first grand daughter.

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. 📷
