    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Raptai Sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan Ke-57 Di Dataran Merdeka Banyak sebenarnya gambar raptai yang saya rakam tapi macam suratkhabar jugaklah, dalam beribu-ribu gambar yang dirakam oleh sang photographer, adalah sepuluh keping atau sekeping sahaja yang keluar di dada akhbar. Saya bukan tak nak kongsi banyak lagi gambar tapi jadual saya agak sibuk, lagipun bandwidth broadband saya dah menjerit semput, maklulah broadband ni bukan company yang sediakan, so nak guna quota bandwidth untuk perkara lain lagi seperti baca blog-blog travel dan tengok harga tiket kapal terbang.

    Photography Tips | How To Get Beautiful Bokeh

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Portrait of My Daughter Arianna “Bokeh” has evolved somewhat from its original meaning.
