Photography Tips | How To Photograph The Stars
© 2013 Wazari Wazir | The Stars at Mount Kinabalu | Photograph Taken at KM8.0 I’m not really into astrophotography but I would like to share with you on how I got this shot. The photograph above were taken at Mount Kinabalu in Sabah during my fourth climb.

Travel and Photography | Once Upon a Time In Kota Belud | Sabah

Postcard From Langtang Nepal | Adventure is Out There
© 2012 Wazari Wazir | Photographer at Langtang National Park | Nepal “Do not burn yourself out. Be as I am-a reluctant enthusiast… a part time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it is still there. So get out there and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, encounter the grizz, climb the mountains. Run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate…
