Street Photography | Another Entry, Projects & Plans...

Hi everybody! Ahhh I really need to stop taking photos of people from the back. I don't think it's a good way to take photos when it's about street photography. Because I don't know, it might be certain photos would look "OK" but probably most of them aren't really a good way to interpret the life in the streets.

So I hope you're all fine and how was your week? Anyway this week I started my half term break from college and you would think I have free time but not really to be honest. I got like assignments to finish by next week. So wish me luck! Don't worry, I will still go out shooting in my free time. :-)

Inspirations...

Hi everybody! Another week flies by, another fresh week comes. Last week was a "fine" week for me. I wouldn't say it was bad but still I got my shots for this week. Sometimes it's not every time in your photography life that you get your best shots or get your best outcome and always remember life is full with obstacles that you never know it coming but the reasons why we would not be in the mood of taking photographs is because we are not inspired by something. Now in the modern days, I see a lot of people owned new DSLR and everyone wants to own a camera like everybody else too. Plus, I see a lot of people sometimes they feel down, I see people quit just because of their images aren't the best like the pros or sometimes your schedule are always full with works and feel you are never going to have time to shoot stuff. This is all due to feeling uninspired.

Street Photography | The Starting Line...

Hi everybody! It's Sunday and I would never thought I would write something on the weekend but hey I guess it might be your day ;). Anyway, how was your week? I hope you guys are well and my week has been pretty good. Last weekend, I was on my computer doing some research on street photography and all of sudden on Monday I brought my camera with me to college. I left my house early than I used to. Then once I got out of the bus, my hand went straight into my bag and brought out my camera but I only snapped a few because I was still struck by Monday Blues. However, once I finished college I spent at least an hour just taking pictures of the street. Pffftt... when I got home I wasn't happy with my results and at that time I felt determine to go on the streets the next day to take some more pictures. 

Haha... There you go my first day with street photography. Yes I'm falling in love with it at the moment and I'm probably going to do this for a bit longer. So, you would expect a lot of street photography posts in the future and tips to share. Since this post is about my first steps into street photography, I'm going to share what I learned from last week:-

Hello! Hehe... Yes it's finally 2012. Another year and another opportunity to fix things in life. I'm sure everybody has a new year's resolution this year and hope that you guys determine in whatever path of interest you choose. I know I certainly need to change myself. Not giving bad impressions but good impressions. I still remember when the first time I felt in love with photography. I was only 12 at that moment and I'm pretty sure everybody likes a beautiful picture.

Photography Tips | Improve your Photography

"Your First 10,000 photographs are your worst" - Henri Cartier-Bresson

See the quote above? Probably one of the most famous photography quotes of all time. You would probably understand straight away the quote when you first time read it and is it true? You decide. I started my photography nearly about two years ago and a lot has pretty change based on my skills of taking photos. Some people they don't' have the natural instinct to take photographs nicely first time. They would probably tent to say the camera does it's job but I totally disagree with the statement because "it's not the camera but the person behind the camera". The fact that YOU control the camera and shoot the photographs, you are the one that makes the photographs happen. I mean 2 years ago I entered a photography competition with my school by just using a

small Nikon point and shoot camera and the last thing you know it you realized that you were able to learn new things by just using a point and shoot camera. It's not about expensive equipments. It's not about having the best camera in the world if you can't understand how to make photographs properly. But experience and skill is key of making a photograph happen. I'm just going to list down 5 things that you can improve your photography skills:-

Photos and Posts!

Hi! After a "pretty" long break, I decided and thought I would post a little message and what has been going on with my life. As you would know it is the Summer break. Tho I've finished school since mid-June. It's not that I've got nothing to post or anything it's just I've been lazy. I've to admit I've been pretty "busy" with some things to do. I've tried to apply for part-time job but failed. Therefore, I will promise this time that more Photos and Posts will publish in this blog in the coming future.

Well, England has been behaving quite awkward recently. You would have known the riot that happened in London recently. Since that it has been a spreading the crime in the country as well. The riot and looting did happen in Bristol but mostly in the City Centre area. School? I will begin my college on the September and my GCSE exam result is coming nearer. It's on the 25th August 2011 (wish me luck!).

Other than that, it has been nearly a year I made this blog and the it hasn't been quite great to be honest. So from now on more photos to come and I will be publishing more tips on photography.I will upload my latest photoshoot which was for a student that has just graduated for his PhD. Laters!

Assalamualaikum! Hi! Sorry again for my long absence from this blog. I've been receiving so many homework to do from school and God knows when will I finish it. So I just wanted to share you guys about what I've been doing recently. As you would know, my previous post was a picture during Eid Mubarak. Yes! Eid Mubarak. It's been almost a month of Eid. That's what most Malaysian do when it's Eid. You fast a month, you celebrate Eid a month. Also, this is my second year celebrating Eid in United Kingdom.

About school, I've got certain subject that I have to get stuck in to get my results. So I can do what I want in college next year. But still, I haven't choose any college to visit. Any advice for me?

For my photography diary, I have shot a lot of celebration of Eid Open Houses. FYI I still got another one today and it might be the last one for this year. As for the future, I might post about my photoshop tips and more about composition. Till again I'll post another post in this blog. Laters!

What I would like to say to you guys is Happy Eid Fitr Mubarak to my family, cousins, friends, MCB, and not forgetting all Muslims photographer out there. I would advice keep capturing the moments and for the Eid Mubarak let it be a funfair for you guys. Finally, to everyone who knows me, I'm sorry if ever did wrong to you.
