    Sports Photography | The Importance of High ISO and High Speed

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Thomas Cup 2010 Kuala Lumpur  | ISO 5000 | 1/1250 | f2.8 | 300mm Lens Before this I have wrote a little bit about “How to choose a DSLR” depending on your needs and requirement. Now I’m going to write about the importance of having a camera with High ISO capability, I mean a camera that can shoot at a higher ISO more than just ISO 3200 that most entry level camera have. Most importantly is to have a camera that is capable of producing “clean” image with less visible noise at higher ISO. Sports event doesn’t happen all the time in the outdoors, in…

    Travel Photography | It’s a Wide World

I took this shot with 10-20mm lens to really capture it’s beauty and grandeur.

    Blog | Blogging to Unblock

    Above is a file picture taken in December 2008, during book signing session titled “Blogging to Unblock”, by Malaysian Former Prime Minister, Tun Mahathir Mohamad at MPH Bookstore.

In my line of duty I really have a lot to share about my work but I find it difficult to put my thought in my blog. Maybe I was too lazy or maybe I was too busy with something else but the truth is I really have a lot to…

    Travel Photography | Taj Mahal | Within The Frame

    Taj Mahal has been photograph million times and I guess each possible angle has been taken already including framing like this one, I’ve always imagine this kind of frame back home in Kuala Lumpur before I went to India. I purposely wait for that person to enter the frame just to have a centre of attraction to make it more interesting, without the presence of a human, I think this picture will look a bit boring, I know that some people hate to have people in their picture, they try to eliminate them or wait until the frame is clear from unwanted people presence. This shot would not be possible…
