    © 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.

    Travel Photography | Sunset at Taj Mahal

    I took this picture from the rooftop of our hotel, Saii Palace Hotel in Taj Ganj area, just few minute before we leave this hotel for New Delhi.

I wish the weather was very good but it was just quite “okay” for me but not what I’m hoping for.

    Travel Photography | Istanbul Turkey | Blue Mosque

    I know what was your thinking or looking, the girl face is blur, yes I admit it but my focus was not on her face but the architecture behind or the  huge dome above, I want to get that detail but because my camera can’t perform beautifully under high ISO, I have to use large aperture to et this shot. I use ISO800 and aperture F3.5, 1/30  at 18mm to get this shot, I wish I have UWA or Ultra Wide Angle Lens with me like 10-20mm for an example but I don’t have it. There was a time that we must make do with whatever we have to get…
