    Child Photography | In His Own World

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Child Photography | HaiQal | In His Own World | Botanical Garden | Putrajaya I have posted this picture before in colors, just to make a comparison between tone picture and original picture, you can view the post HERE but I like this picture in black and white the most, sometimes the colors tend to be a bit of a distraction, I want people to concentrate on the mood of my son here and I think by stripping away the colors this picture have more impact, have more feel and mood into it. If you look carefully, the shawl that wrapped around my son head…

    Travel Photography | Life is a Journey, Not Destination

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography | Taj Mahal Agra | Life is a Journey Finally on June 15 we were standing in front of Taj Mahal, one of seven wonders of the world. I just could not believe my eyes that finally we are here after very long arduous journey. Back then in Malaysia my home country, Taj Mahal can be considered as far reaching out place, a dream destination for many of us, there were five of us in my group. All of us have never been here in Agra before. We choose the long road to get here, a Golden Triangle Road, usually most people will…

    Travel Photography | Rare View of Taj Mahal | Seven Wonders of The World

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Taj Mahal | Rare View of Taj Mahal and its Surroundings This is Taj Ganj area, where most backpackers stay because within a walking distance you can easily get to the Taj Mahal. I took this picture using UWA Ultra Wide Angle Lens 10-20mm from the roof top of Sai Palace Hotel where we stay. Taj Mahal may look a distance away from this picture but the truth is, it’s just less than five minute walking distance from our hotel to the South Gate of Taj Mahal to the left side of this picture where you can see the buffalos  down there. There are many…

    Travel Photography | Life Goes On

    I know that  a picture at the very top is too blur to be good but I like it that way, I’ve another great looking panning picture that wasn’t too blur but I like that image better, maybe I like the colors and the way the bicycle move downhill and furthermore I like to portray  how chaotic this place is, Taj Ganj area where we stay. Panning shot does take practice and very seldom people do panning with (UWA) Ultra Wide Angle Lens 10-20mm that I’m using, usually photographers will do panning shot with telephoto lens like 70-200mm or 400-600mm shot if they took a picture of F-1 racing cars…

    Portrait Photography | People and Places

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Portraiture | Botanical Garden | Putrajaya Portrait photography is not all about great Bokeh, it is not all about fancy camera equipment, super fast portrait lens like 50mm f1.2 or 85mm f2 lens. Portrait photography is all about capturing the character of the people being photograph the most. For me, there are two kind of a portrait shot, the one where you just concentrate on the person itself, close up shot, maybe head and shoulder shot where, the background is not important, I mean doesn’t need to be in focus because the centre of attraction is the person only, if that is the case super…
