    Family Photography | Having Fun At The Beach | Pantai Tengah Langkawi

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | My Family Having Fun at Pantai Tengah Langkawi This is our second time we spent our holiday as a family in Langkawi.

During our first visit we stayed at Federal Villa (The resort is just side by side with its sister resort, the Holiday Villa Beach Resort & Spa Langkawi) and this time we stayed at Holiday Villa.

    Travel And Photography | Postcard From Mount Kinabalu | Sabah

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Trekker at Mount Kinabalu | Sabah Malaysia North Borneo “In life we do things. Some we wish we had never done, some we wish we could replay a million times in our heads, but they all make us who we are. And in the end, those experiences shape every detail about us. If we were to reverse any of them, we wouldn’t be at the exact place that we are today. So just live.

The thought of disappearing like that, so simply, made me so happy.”  – Jay Asher –  This photograph is a grabbed shot, or should I say just a snapshot, I really did not plan it, if I know that someone will cycle through this paddy field, I will definitely change my lens from 24-70 mm to 70-200 mm to get a little bit tight, but then I think this wide shot works well with the environment.

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | My Family During Langkawi Island Trip | ISO 1600 – ISO 2000 | Shutter 1/80 – 1/200 Photographers always facing this kind of things, sometimes they just don’t have any other options like, not having a flash, like me.

In my case I don’t want to use flash and prefer to use whatever light available there. The easiest way to handle low light condition without using flash is to bump up the ISO in your camera.

    Travel Tips | Finding The Perfect Travel Companion

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | People Hanging Out at Patan Durbar Square | Nepal “And it came to me then. That we were wonderful traveling companions but in the end no more than lonely lumps of metal in their own separate orbits. From far off they look like beautiful shooting stars, but in reality they’re nothing more than prisons, where each of us is locked up alone, going nowhere. When the orbits of these two satellites of ours happened to cross paths, we could be together. Maybe even open our hearts to each other. But that was only for the briefest moment. In the next instant we’d be in absolute…
