Travel Photography | Human Touch
© 2008 Wazari Wazir | Mabul Island | Sabah | Malaysia North Borneo I’m taking a break from posting my son picture here, just to make my blog a little bit interesting. This entry is about travel photography, from my point of view. I’m not an expert on this field because I’m not a travel photographer by profession, even though I wish I were but nevertheless as a photographer I do travel a lot but this photograph above which I took in 2008 is not part of my official assignment.

Basic Photography | What is a Fast Lens?
© 2007 Wazari Wazir | Raptor Watch | Tanjung Tuan Malacca Lens speed refers to the maximum aperture diameter, or minimum f-number, of a photographic lens.

Lens speed given by the minimum f-number, or alternatively maximum aperture diameter or maximum numerical aperture,…

Basic Photography | Composition | Using Repetition and Patterns in Photography
© 2008 Wazari Wazir | 51st Anniversary of Independence | Malaysia National Day Celebration | Kuala Lumpur I have nothing much to write here, just wanted to share with you a little bit about composition, which is using repetitive patterns for composition. The photographs above were taken in 2008 during our National Day Celebration here in Kuala Lumpur, I purposely choose a higher angle to get this shot, you will never get this kind of patterns if we shoot from the ground, same eye level with them, the only way os to shoot from above so that you can see the patterns. Using a longer lens help to make things…
