    Photography | Shooting in Tricky Lighting Conditions

    © 2011 Wazari Wazir | Le Tour de Langkawi | Kuala Lumpur City Centre | ISO 400 | 1/1600 | F4 | 10 – 20mm As a photographer, sometimes we have to deal with a situation like this, a situation where the lighting condition can fools our camera. Most of the times if we use a Program Mode, your camera metering system will take and average reading of the situation and makes it own decision about the exposure.

    Portrait | Black and White Photography

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | My Son Playing With Puddle | Langkawi Kedah Some of you might not call this a black and white photograph but just a greyscale photograph.

I know how to get a deep rich black and white but for this image I prefer it to be like this, a lighter version of black and white. I get a lot of emails asking me, how to know whether some picture will look…

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Royal Langkawi Yatch Club I don’t want to talk about editing here, instead I want to talk about composition here.

    Portrait Photography | Ada Apa Dengan Tone?

    © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Selepas Tone | Edited © 2010 Wazari Wazir | Sebelum Tone | Original Ada apa dengan Tone? Takde apa, sajer jer, itu jawapan ringkas saya. Sebenarnya bagi saya lebih kepada cita rasa masing-masing, setiap dari kita berbeza, ada yang suka pedas, ada yang suka manis. Ada yang suka yang asli dan ada juga yang suka manipulasi dan bagi saya bila menyebut tone ni, ianya adalah manipulasi yang noleh dikatakan paling minimum, kita hanya “manipulate” warna sahaja bukan meletakkan sesuatu benda asing atau membuang benda asing di dalam gambar. Seperti yang saya katakan tadi, ada yang suka gambar “Asli”. Ada yang suka mengekalkan “skin tone” yang…
