Travel | Happiness Only Real When Shared
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Diplodocus | London Natural History Museum “Happiness Only Real When Shared.” – Chris McCandless – Trans-Siberian Railway trip is my first trip as a Solo Traveler. Actually I did not mean to travel solo on this trip but due to some difficulties to get my friends to join me, I’ve decided to make it alone. I can’t wait forever until everyone is ready because I’ve been wanted to do this trip for quite some time already and I don’t want to prolonged any longer. About the quote by Chris McCandles there, you may agree or not, I’m not here to discuss about it but for me, happiness will…

Travel | The Beautiful Moscow Metro Museum of Art
© 2014 Wazari Wazir | Beautiful Moscow Metro Stations | All Photographs Taken With Fujifilm X100T The Moscow Metro dates back to 1931, when its construction began, although engineers Pyotr Balinsky and Evgeny Knorre submitted their first designs to the Moscow City Duma as far back as 1902. On May 15, 1935, 18 years after the Bolshevik revolution, the Metro threw open its doors and carried its first passengers down its escalators and on to its new wagons with padded seats.

Kembara Trans-Siberian Railway | Checklist Barang-Barang Keperluan Semasa Di Dalam Keretapi
Sebelum saya tulis selanjutnya saya hendak beritahu di sini bahawa tiada train bernama Trans-Siberian, TRANS-SIBERIAN bukanlah nama sebuah kereta api, namun begitu ada kereta api khas untuk para pelancong, saya sebut untuk pelancong tidak bermakna penduduk tempatan Russia tidak boleh guna, tetapi kereta api ini khas untuk bersiar-siar sebab perlu ambil secara pakej, harganya juga tersangat mahal. Kereta api tersebut ialah Golden Eagle Trans-Siberian Express. Jika kita pilih kereta api mewah ni, tak perlu nak fikir soal makan dan minum, ianya ibarat menaiki sebuah hotel mewah yang bergerak. Trans-Siberian Railway itu bermaksud jaringan ataupun perjalanan keretapi merentasi Siberia, walaupun kita tidak menaiki keretapi hingga ke Beijing dari Moscow atau hingga…

Portrait Photography With Fujifilm X100T
© 2015 Wazari Wazir | My Little Children | Raphael and Arianna | Photographs Taken With Fujifilm X100T Wide angle lens is really not an ideal portrait lens, normally photographer will use a focal length range from 85 mm to 135 mm for a portrait lens or longer, this is because a longer focal length will give a flattering look to the portrait compared to a slight distortion if it were taken with wide angle lens such as with this Fujifilm X100T camera which have a fixed focal length of 23 mm or equivalent of 35 mm in full frame camera. Anyway sometimes a wide angle lens such as 35…
