    Sambutan Hari Kebangsaan Malaysia Ke-59

    © 2016 Wazari Wazir | Department of Information Malaysia | 59th National Day Celebrations | Kuala Lumpur Seawal jam 7 AM pagi lagi saya dah terpacak di hadapan pentas VVVIP ni, mulanya saya dah rasa cuak juga sebab waktu sampi di sini, hujan mulai turun, silap saya juga tidak buat preparation, lupa nak bawa plastik untuk cover kamera saya, in case hujan lebat. Alhamdulillah dalam pukul 7:30 AM hujan mula reda tetapi sepanjang majlis berlangsung suasana agak mendung. Walaupun sudut pandang atau posisi saya kali ini berhadapan pentas VVVIP tetapi tidak menjanjikan view yang menarik, salah satu sebab ialah tiada disediakan platform ataupun tangga kambing, so sudut pandang agak mendatar.…

    Malaysia 57th Independence Day | Malaysia, Here Lies a Love | Di Sini Lahirnya Sebuah Cinta

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Mother And Daughter | Happy Malaysia 57th Independence Day “I will not be “famous,” “great.” I will go on adventuring, changing, opening my mind and my eyes, refusing to be stamped and stereotyped. The thing is to free one’s self,  to let it find its dimensions, not be impeded.” – Virginia Woolf – I wish I can have much more beautiful settings, I mean taking a photograph of my children holding a Malaysian Flag while running towards a beautiful Mount Kinabalu or running across a stunning rice field or even silhouetted against a beautiful sunset at the beach. Anyway all of those imagination can only happen…

    Raptai Sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan ke-57 | Dataran Merdeka | Malaysia 57th Independence Day

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Raptai Sambutan Hari Kemerdekaan Ke-57 Di Dataran Merdeka Banyak sebenarnya gambar raptai yang saya rakam tapi macam suratkhabar jugaklah, dalam beribu-ribu gambar yang dirakam oleh sang photographer, adalah sepuluh keping atau sekeping sahaja yang keluar di dada akhbar. Saya bukan tak nak kongsi banyak lagi gambar tapi jadual saya agak sibuk, lagipun bandwidth broadband saya dah menjerit semput, maklulah broadband ni bukan company yang sediakan, so nak guna quota bandwidth untuk perkara lain lagi seperti baca blog-blog travel dan tengok harga tiket kapal terbang. Just nak beritahu gambar “Human Pattern” yang ramai-ramai tu saya rakam di jejantas LRT Bandaraya yang menghala ke SOGO, kalau sesiapa yang…

    Travel and Photography | Sultan Abdul Samad Building | Kuala Lumpur

    © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Sultan Abdul Samad Building | 16 – 35 mm | ISO 200 | f/8 | 1/80 © 2014 Wazari Wazir | Experimenting With Slow Speed | 1/8 | ISO 100 | f/22 Just to add a little bit of variety, I try to play around with slow shutter speed, just to get a sense of movement of the traffic here, since this is Saturday, where most people are on a holiday, this street are less busy than usual, so I have to wait a few minutes just to get the right vehicle passing by, I need some kind of striking and vivid colours like the…

    Merdeka | 56th Malaysia’s Independence Day | My Sovereign Malaysia : My Native Land

    © 2013 Wazari Wazir | Malaysia’s 56th Independence Day Celebration at Independence Square Kuala Lumpur This is some of the photographs that I managed to captured during  our National Day celebrations marking the 56th anniversary of the country’s independence at Independence Square in Kuala Lumpur August 31st 2013. Unlike previous year (2012), this year I was assigned to cover the event from a static position in front of the main stage where the VVIP were seated. I was equipped with only one camera body which is Nikon D3 with 24-120 mm and 70-200 mm lens, actually the 70-200mm lens were not really suitable from this position but that’s all I’ve because…
