Photography | The Art of Capturing Moment
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Kiram Village | Mesilau Sabah “If it Makes You Laugh, If it Makes You Cry, If it Rips Out Your Heart, That’s a Good Picture”. ( Eddie Adams ) I think the best way to capture a great photograph is simply to capture it with your heart, a camera is just a tool and I like quote from Eddie Adams above, everything that he said is what make a good or great picture. A beautiful picture sometimes have no soul. A Moment like this is truly a family treasure for years to come. My son wanted to be free, while at the same time his…

A Photograph | Once Upon a Time at Kiram’s Village
© wazari Wazir | Kiram Village | Mesilau Kundasang I wish I could share all my pictures that was taken at Kiram’s Village Mesilau, it is really a beautiful place for a family outing or to spend their holiday. This is the best spot to get a backlighting shot at Kiram, there was a hill at the background that provide a great backdrop to show the rim light nicely. Without the hill, there will be an empty sky that will make the rim light disappear and blend together with the sky. That’s the tips for you when playing with backlighting. How I wish I have a picture like this when…

Expressive Portraiture
© 2009 Wazari Wazir | Portrait Photography | Expressive Portraiture Portrait photography or portraiture is the capture by means of photography of the likeness of a person or a small group of people (a group portrait), in which the face and expression is predominant.

Like other types of portraiture, the focus of the photograph is the person’s face, although the entire body and the background may be included. A portrait is generally not a snapshot, but a composed image of a person in a still position. A portrait often shows a person looking directly at the…

Kampung Boy
I’ve nothing much to write here but just wanted to share with you a picture taken in 2008 at my Father-in-law house in Kuala Penyu Sabah, approximately two hours drive from Kota Kinabalu. My son can’t walk at the time this picture is taken, he can stand for a few minutes but will fall down once he took his first step, it was easier to take a photograph of him then than now. My Father-in-law village can be considered as backward, very few development here, most of the times we have to rely on the rain for our water supply and when it doesn’t rain, life can be tough. For…

Photoshop Texture Editing
Just wanted to share a quick post here. During Super Friends Penang Outing, I’ve shared few of my editing technique to those who are interested there, among other thing is how to blend texture when the background is BLACK. Just like the picture of A. Samad Said our National Laureate above. Let’s get straight to the point here, I use Screen blending mode here, simply because if I use Soft Light blending mode like I always do, the texture will not “Touch” the black area, meaning the black will remain black. If you don’t believe me, try it, use Screen blending option if you want to blend a texture into…
