    Pokhara Nepal | Postcard From Himalaya

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | Phewa Lake | Pokhara Nepal “May your trails be crooked, winding, lonesome, dangerous, leading to the most amazing view. May your mountains rise into and above the clouds. May your rivers flow without end, meandering through pastoral valleys tinkling with bells, past temples and castles and poets towers into a dark primeval forest where tigers belch and monkeys howl, through miasmal and mysterious swamps and down into a desert of red rock, blue mesas, domes and pinnacles and grottos of endless stone, and down again into a deep vast ancient unknown chasm where bars of sunlight blaze on profiled cliffs, where deer walk across the white…

    Travel Photography | Dal Lake | Kashmir | Paradise on Earth

    © 2012 Wazari Wazir | Dal Lake | Kashmir “No, life cannot be understood flat on a page. It has to be lived; a person has to get out of his head, has to fall in love, has to memorize poems, has to jump off bridges into rivers, has to stand in an empty desert and whisper sonnets under his breath. We get one story, you and I, and one story alone. God has established the elements, the setting and the climax and resolution. It would be a crime not to venture out, wouldn’t it?” – Donald Miller – Tweet news and informationbusiness,health,entertainment,technology automotive,business,crime,health,life,politics,science,technology,travel

    Travel Photography | Choosing The Right Lens

    © 2011 Wazari Wazir | KLCC Kuala Lumpur City Centre Park | Children’s Pool | 10 – 20mm Sometime having the right lens does matter in term of story telling especially in travel photography. Most of the times in travel photography, we want to include all the landmark that we can fit into the frame. In this case, I need to include the Petronas Twin Tower behind as my backdrop, so people will know where this picture is taken, which is at KLCC children’s pool area. To someone who haven’t visit here will also know that this area is close to the tower and to the foreigners  can relate the…

    Photography | How To Crop Images

    © 2009 Wazari Wazir | Senior Portrait | Lake Garden For me cropping is an art in itself, some people prefer to do a cropping in the camera, we don’t call it a cropping if you do it in the camera but that’s composition. We can make good composition right in the camera if we have the time to do that, like taking a portrait in the studio, shoot landscape, architecture, when you almost have total control of your subject but sometimes when it comes to shoot fast moving subject, sports for an example it is difficult to get a nice composition in the frame, because the subject moving so…
