    Cuti-Cuti Malaysia | Trip Express Ke Melaka

    © 2015 Wazari Wazir | Melaka Bandaraya Bersejarah Trip ke Melaka ni sebenarnya bukannya trip dirancang, kira macam trip bidan terjun, sebelum ke sini ada banyak lagi urusan dilakukan, singgah di Putrajaya sekejap uruskan itu ini, kemudian ke Kuala Langat sekejap dan terus ke Melaka, sampai Melaka hari pun dah lewat petang, so rushing sana sini sebelum matahari terbenam pasal kami tak bercadang nak bermalam di Melaka. Hentian pertama kami di Melaka ialah di tempat shopping terbaru di  Freeport A’Famosa Outlet Village yang terletak di Alor Gajah. Bukan nak shopping sangat pun, sampai sini pun hari sebelum gaji, so memang sesuai sangatlah, takdelah terusik duit gaji tu. Freeport A’Famosa ni kira…

    Basic Photography | What is a Fast Lens?

    © 2007 Wazari Wazir | Raptor Watch | Tanjung Tuan Malacca Lens speed refers to the maximum aperture diameter, or minimum f-number, of a photographic lens. A lens with a larger maximum aperture (that is, a smaller minimum f-number) is a fast lens because it delivers more light intensity (illuminance) to the focal plane, allowing a faster shutter speed. A smaller maximum aperture (larger minimum f-number) is “slow” because it delivers less light intensity and requires a slower shutter speed. A lens may be referred to as “fast” or “slow” depending on its maximum aperture compared to other lenses of similar focal length designed for a similar film format. Lens speed given by the minimum f-number, or alternatively maximum aperture diameter or maximum numerical aperture,…

    Baby’s Day Out | The Historical City Of Malacca

    Last weekend we went to Malacca or Melaka the historic city  state of Malaysia, just two hours drive from Kuala Lumpur the capital of Malaysia.

The Maritime Museum along Jalan Quayside by the banks of the Malacca River  is housed in the life-size replica of the Flor de la Mar, the Portuguese galleon which sank in the Malacca Harbour in the 16th century. Inside this museum are dioramas and intricately designed ship models. Apart from giving…

    Photographer | The Unsung Hero

    His photographs had been and will be published more than a thousand times. Every time we celebrate the Independence Day, the media will publish all these pictures again and again. Business enterprises, large-format picture printers, photo treatment companies will repeatedly claim credits as well as reaping cash of the pictures they use but the original artist remains uncredited. ( Shutter2History ) I was very lucky to have met Malaysia great photographer Wong Swee Lin at his house, not many people here in Malaysia knew or have heard about him but to those who were born after our Independence Day 1957 sure enough have seen historical photograph taken by him, he…
