A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | A Picture is worth a Thousand Words | A Portrait of My Family A picture is worth a thousand words, we have heard this quote, time and time again, and it was so true, sometimes words just not enough, we need to show it visually, so people can understand a story without telling it verbally. The quote above is sometimes attributed to emperor Napoleon Bonaparte, who said “Un bon croquis vaut mieux qu’un long discours,” or “A good sketch is better than a long speech”. A picture above is a picture of my wife and my son, sharing a happy moment together, my wife try…

India | Catatan Perjalanan
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography | Taj Mahal | Agra | India Apakah aku bermimpi? Itulah petanyaan yang sering saya tanyakan diri saya tatkala berhadapan dengan Taj Mahal, salah satu keajaiban dunia yang berjaya ku lihat dengan anak mata ku sendiri, sebelum ini hanya melihat gambaran Taj Mahal melaui kaca televisyen dan juga di majalah-majalah pelancungan dan juga majalah yang berkaitan dengan fotografi. Hinga kini, setelah lebih sebulan kembali ke tanah air, masih lagi terngiang-ngiang di telinga bunyi keretapi merentasi benua India yng cukup berwarna warni. Kali ini biarlah saya coretkan catatan perjalanan saya dalam Bahasa Malaysia, Bahasa yang mudah difahami oleh rakyat Malaysia secara umumnya, sebelum ini…

Travel Photography | Taj Mahal | Symbol of Love
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Taj Mahal | Symbol of Love Photograph taken next to Yamuna River, it may look close to Taj Mahal but the fact is, it will took you about 45 minute or more to get here from Taj Mahal and you have to pay around Rs100 to get here by Auto Rickshaw.

Travel Photography | Taj Mahal | Within The Frame
© 2010 Wazari Wazir | Taj Mahal | Agra India Framing is one of many technique in photography where a photographer try to draw the attention of the viewer to the main subject, which in this case the Majestic Taj Mahal. In this case I use UWA or Ultra Wide Angle Lens 10-20mm to frame this picture, without UWA lens, I don’t think I will get to frame Taj Mahal like this. It is natural for UWA lens to have a little bit of distortion, it’s normal, so I really don’t mind so much about the distortion. Among few things that you should take into consideration when framing your shot…
