Beach with A Story


Pantai Irama is the most famous beach in Kelantan.It is the best beach resort for my kampung folks like me during my growing up years in 50's and 60s.During those days,we just had only the beach for ourselves.No restaurants and no facilities for us at the beach.For my family,this beach is THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND RESORT  for us,located 5km from my parent's house.



When we go for family picnic,my mother did all the cooking herself.We brought our own food and drink and mat to sit on.We kids will be on the beach running around and playing in the sea of waves.I love the waves and I still remember  a big wave hit me and I felt like drowning.Thank God I rose to the surface again.



Every month,I go back  to visit my mother at Pondok Beris,Bachok.Whenever I am free ,I will going around taking photos of a few beaches in Bachok and padi fields in the village.Taking these photos remind me of my childhood days.To promote the beauty of Bachok,I set up a fan page called Bachok is Beautiful.It is my personal photo project and it is a work in progress.One fine day,these collection of photos may become a book.It has a few dozens of my snapshots taken in the district of Bachok.



All the above photos were taken in the morning.I love the golden hour here.May I thank Allah for giving me the chance to capture these beautiful shots that I never dream of.I was very lucky to be here with a camera.

NB: According to my mother,the name of Pantai Irama was given by Allahyarham Dato' Muhammad Yaakob,ex-Menteri Besar of Kelantan when he was the DO of Bachok.

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. 📷
