    Tips Fotografi | Framing Untuk Potret | Portraiture

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Portrait of Arianna | 50 mm | ISO 200 | f/2.8 | 1/200 Untuk tips fotografi kali ini, saya ingin berkongsi tips ringkas tentang framing, terutamanya tentang gambar di atas. Salah satu sebab mengapa saya pakaikan “snowcap” atau topi di kepala anak saya Arianna ialah untuk membantu dari segi framing. Sebabnya mudah, tanpa topi tersebut, rambut anak saya Arianna akan tenggelam bersama latar belakang yang gelap. Senang cerita potret anak saya akan jadi kurang menarik bila mana rambut Arianna yang berwarna hitam bergabung atau “blend” dengan latar belakang yang hitam.

    Travel Photography | Once Upon a Time in Kota Belud Sabah

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Suspension Bridge at Kota Belud Sabah Against Mount Kinabalu I’ve always dreamed of taking this kind of a picture since I saw Mount Kinabalu few years ago. A photograph of a person crossing a suspension bridge with Mount Kinabalu in the background. Yes, there is a lot of suspension bridge crossing the river all across Sabah but finding the right one can be quite tricky since some of them can’t be seen from the main road. You need to look deeper. With the help of my Sabahan friends, Azman Jumat, Shukur Jahar and Rade Knoxville, finally I manage to get what I’m looking for. Even…
