    Travel Photography | Pulau Ketam | Crab Island

    © 2009 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography | Pulau Ketam | Crab Island © 2009 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography | Pulau Ketam | Crab Island Pulau Ketam, literally translated, means “Crab Island”, “Ketam” is a Malay word for “Crab”. It is a small island located off the coast of Klang. The island is easily accessible from the Port Klang jetty by ferry. This is a traditional fishing village where visitors can witness and experience the unique lifestyle of fishermen. I think the easiest way to come here from Kuala Lumpur is by taking a train or KTM Komuter where you can take the Komuter from Kuala Lumpur Sentral Station…

    India | Catatan Perjalanan VIII

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Sardar Market | Jodhpur | Blue City Kami masih lagi berada di Jodhpur untuk hari kedua, sebelum meneruskan perjalanan kami menuju ke Jaipur dengan keretapi Marudhar Express yang akan bertolak pada jam 9:30 AM dari Stesen Keretapi Jaipur yang terletk tidak jauh dari hotel Govind di mana kami menginap. Dalam catatan sebelum ini saya terlupa bercerita tentang pengalaman kami makan nasi di beriani timbang di Jodhpur, kedai makan memang banyak terdapat di sekitar hotel penginapan kami, tidak perlu untuk kami berjalan jauh dari hotel untuk mencari restoran.

    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. The reason why we are here is because we wanted to get a sunset picture of Taj Mahal but unfortunately the weather was not very good, but nevertheless this is a great spot for taking sunset or sunrise picture of Taj Mahal. I purposely wait for the family to enter the frame to make…

    Travel Photography | It’s a Wide World

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Travel Photography  | Wide World Choosing the right lens for the right subject can produce wonder, this is a small mosque located next to Taj Mahal to the left if you coming from this main entrance, actually not many people pray here, maybe it was pack during friday prayer but I don’t know. I took this shot with 10-20mm lens to really capture it’s beauty and grandeur. I don’t think I will manage to do justice with this picture if I don’t have UWA Ultra Wide Angle Lens, I know that different lenses produce different perspective but when you want to show your subject the…
