It was a trip for answers. We were looking for facts on some dealing matters.
Nevertheless, i was still amaze by the mesmerized faces of her ppl.
Chennai, the capital of Tamil Nadu was not the 'paradise' of India; flood really caught us in between of having a great time there.
However, the city did show us something.. of her ppl's courage, determination, loyalty and survival..
which did not make them less ordinary.



*rain prevent me from capturing more! hah hah good reasoning eh?!

I really like all the shots in this entry Wed 21-Dec-2005 08:50

the clouds werent even bigger
the skies werent even brighter
as muslims all around the globe look forward for the day of glory,
'they' seems to rejoice themselves in their own way..
honoring the victory of fellow muslims,
as ramadhan gone by and syawal stood along..



I love the compositional balance in 2nd, 4th and 5th photo. I would stay away from top left leaf distraction in 3rd photo unless it serves a apart of the object framing. Wed 28-Dec-2005 05:18

my 'anak buah' is going uno..

wazzzaa!
opps! on camera again
 
Tracing back at this fotoblog, he had been one of my most captured. nasib baik tak pandai lagi mintak duit royalti!
How months hv gone and he is going to be one any sooner.
And these recent shots also mark the transformation of me to the digital world. Welkom.


haha the first picture's kind of funny. good shot, considering that it's not easy capturing candid expressions, especially one of a child's.

well, at any rate, better make sure you khatam the manual for your new toy! baru boleh fully exploit those awesome features. i know i only truly appreciated my d50 once i managed through at least 60% of the manual (eh, rasa macam sendiri pun tak khatam lagi manual tu hehe).

It has been a while for me since the last postings.

These are just selections of my sheer expressions.

yup, the title says it all.
me spent almost rm100 for b&w films and prints but they didnt work as me expected them to be.. *sigh* made me wonder.. do i need to take a break from this past-time fav?
or should i go looking for a 'good' digital camera in order to enhance my skills on photos?
for the latter, at least what i'm sure off i can reduce some loss on lots of awful piccies!

It hit you hard when you couldnt achieve what you've anticipated to accomplish
and me feel really bad about it!! The only thing i could say..
"man, you hv to keep learning!" (yadeii...practice! practice! practice! la)
since my learning curve is mountains to climb, i have to push extra hard coz i'm not giving up as yet..

Thank goodness, there are ppl outthere who i'd learn lots from their works. They hd given me such motivation to keep going.
to shz, syed nasir, ezdy, rawker , kenterong , aydeology et al
someday, i believe i will be able to capture photos as good & beautiful as yours
and i'm still waiting for the day to come.. but for now, thank you for the inspiration..


*my inspirion*

I'm elated to read that you are not giving up. There are times when we feel like we are in a slump, hit hard at a dead end and whatever we do seemed to be just not enough. I totally understand the feeling. However, the best thing is, it is never permanent. The next following days, you'll feel much better and raring to go again. It is usually that way when you are passionate about something i.e photography. So just hang in there dude.

I suppose changing to digital would be a consideration but to my understanding, both film and digital gives a photographer a different kind of satisfaction. I guess it is a matter of that and other stuff like finance and being patient.

Although nice to know, I’m not sure about being an inspiration to someone. I was just being myself and take photos with sincerity and, just like you, I am learning every single day, an ongoing process. I suppose we all are at one point or the other.

Warmest regards…..

Mohsein, I can understand your frustration since you're starting off with films, I assume. I think you've developed meaningful works because to me, when shooting on film, you tend to be more thoughtful about what you're going to capture. Unlike the digital who can make us be greedy at times and end up with meaningless collections.

I don't deny that I do own flawful shots in a single roll, which I think is a common thing you shouldn't be sighing about. Overexposed, outfocused, stupid angles are the things not just us beginners, even a professional photographer does. You might want to consider doing a contact sheet before you print each frames to save up papers.

Presentation is important too. Mybe it isn't necessary to show all of your photos. It would make a lot of difference putting just one photo that tells many stories instead of many photos telling nothing. In this recent post particularly, I'm very much liking your athelete in the making. It was a great moment captured that shows your ability as a photographer. Maybe you would want to do the burning techniques in darkroom for parts of his face where seems overexposed.

Smokin' was a great attempt, but your angle covered the cigaratte he was smoking which is a down side of it. The last photo is very good too but too overexposed. I'm sure with more experience in darkroom works, it is adjustable.

Other photos do not say much to me. As I said, the randomness is very much obvious. The easiest way to improve this is try to work in project. Let's say try to shoot a roll of film of your woman there. Just her and out of approx 36 shots you'll get, develop probably 4-5 shots which is really good. That's normally how I do it lah, just sharing experience and thoughts. There is no easy way to this. If you're passionate enough, I don't think money or time or anything like that can stand in your way.

All the best of luck, and keep up, certainly.

i'm still working on my b&w. Had a few shots days ago more or less on a single roll but still b&w is rather alien to me. How am I going to think in mono with all the surroundings are full in colours?! hmm..

well, i guess the easier way to learn is by converting some of my colour *images to monocrome.
I know this sounds 'where's the originality.." but hello! I'm learning here...
my apologies for doing this but let me share some of my colour pics with you and see whether they are somehow more enduring in mono.. Hoping i could learn from them as well.

Dear Morkymoqq...

Susah sikit bab Black and White nih....Nak adjust that contrast in just 2 colour...sedangkan mata kita melihat dunia ni colourful.

Saya pun trial and error je.

It hit me hard trying to finish up my film roll.
pardon me, but i'm not the kind of guy who could snap shot anything and turn it into something worth-seeing.
i wasnt born with such talent...

however.. when your lucky star is bright.. u might end up with something really really beautiful
call it my day, (and credits to my beloved as well for her company and ideas)
my 'finish-up roll' quest in Shah Alam proved it all..
thank you my dear..







You weren't born with talent?! Kidding me!
You proved yourself wrong with gorgeous shots like #6 and #7 ! What was the zoom lens used on this, may I ask? And film too?

It is not just over for me after Beijing, instead i was indulged with another vacation..
this time, it is a 'cuti cuti malaysia ikut bapa'

Though it wasnt much fun altogether.. ( coz this time i cant lead, only follow instructions. yikes!) but i did enjoy the bot panjang trip across Sg Tembeling et al.

It would hv been great if we stayed another night at taman negara and hd a close-watch of the deers, tigers and co. or even experienced the ever-cool canopy walk on a bridge 45 metres high and 450 metres long. Indeed, we were happier to be greeted by kampung ppls in ulu tembeling. A three hours boat trip along Sg tembeling and we were most welcomed by a kenduri organised by them. Pardon me, but the kerbau masak kicap and sayur pucuk paku were really as appetizing as any KL cookings.

Though these kampung guys may not live as comfort as some of us.. but there were pure hapiness and honour for them in providing us with such reception and i was glad for making this trip and really2 saluted them for their kindness and hospitality.

orang kampung boleh!...

We decided to devote our final days in Beijing for shopping, shopping and shopping!
Well, this is when I witnessed how my mom’s eyes gone sparkling...

All this while she’s the one who’d complaint about anything and sorts but now suddenly she became wonder woman! Huh… ladies out there! Please admit, my mom has been hypnotised by the power of shopping…

But actually I did find shopping in Beijing, interesting. The idea was you bargained for a price as low as you could get and later settled with a more tolerable price. This is when/where salesgirls played all the tactics in order to get your attention and best prices.

“What’s your best price?!” “Joking Price!!” “Come on, little bit higher!” “No, no, no... you crazy!!” “OK, OK, Give me your final price” can be overheard all through the stalls and marketplace. It’s kind of an art...an art of trading. heh.
And obviously there would be only one winner either you or the adorable salesgirl...
