The Language In Photography

The language of the heart is the only one that is universal, and as Sterne says, we should disregard all rules and make our way to the heart as we can.

In like way photographic views and portraits may be mere outside facts. Many give dead unchangeable masks instead of living faces that seem to breathe and move ; flat " front elevations " as apologies for solidity, depth and space ; dull uninteresting empty-box facts, instead of complete truths pregnant with thought and feeling.

Nice quote by : Reza Mell.

Ray Of Light .

Wake up call for the Low Light Photography early morning.

Hye!
Today I shared with you guys some of my low light pictures . The picture above I managed to captured at 0645 am in the morning . It's so cold out there but instead of being cold , I pretend to be cool with my canon gear and his tall girlfriend , Miss Tripod . The view above at Pantai Tanjung Rhu , Langkawi Island , Kedah . Thick fog in the morning really beautiful for me with the moon like disappeared slowly . I played Gary Moore in my mp3 player , Still got the blues , with me . What a blues morning that day .


Ok , I will explain you what is low light photography . Low light photography is one of my favourite part in this photography world .  Words " Less is more " always been use when photographer want to describe about low light photography . You don't need bunch of bag full with accesories and gear equipment to get stunning low light images . Maybe with some lens filter such as ND filter , remote trigger and tripod should be complete you to doing low light photography . When you think low light , you should be think about compsition in your low light images . The more objects in a picture, the picture will become so unattractive . 


Mostly , many of newbies ( such as me also ) , thought that , the more lighting you captured in low light , the more succes the shot that been taken . And unfortunately , it is wrong . Remind this word " Less is more " . For taking the best shot , the lowest lighting that you have in your shot , the result must be good to see your shot is really like a pro ." Whoa ! Awesome ! " , said someone after see your result images . If it happen .


So , today , with my kind heart human side sense , I'll share with you guys the best time to captured like a pro in low light photography . I love to see the sunrises and sunset everyday and I know you love it too . But an eyesight of photographer ( like a pro eyes ) , sunrises and sunset was the best photogenic moment to be captured and freeze in low light photography . The reason is because the lighting level is less-low compared to the lighting level at noon . In urban landscapes , your shot will be more photogenic at evening scene where days goes down and the shadows appeared . You might get the much more details texture in urban landscapes . Such a dramatic time to have a shot .


In astrophotography , low-light technique was the best to be use because the result will impressed you the most ! For your information , I just started dating to get know more about astrophotography and I can say that I really so so so , fall in love with you , astrophotography .The famous part in this scene is star trails and milky-way . Here the example image about astrophotgraphy . I don't show mine because I dont have any stunning image yet to share out here like this guy got . Jealous !

Yeah , its Anton Jankovoy , I follow his 500px profile . I adore his astrophotography , and this shot is milky-way pictures .You might want to see his more stunning milky-way images , kindly see here :

The Portraiture Of Beauty

Woah . I think its been a year since my last update at my blog here . Rarely to blogging stuff few weeks ( like a year ) back ago . But , starting today , I will be back activated this blog and made this as my photoblog . Today first photo is I think and always lay on my mind is a contrast . What is contrast ? Why is so important about contrast ? Ok , this explaination is from tutorial website that I've read a lot few years ago ( www.brighthub.com ) , using contrast in your photos will undoubtedly produce stunning results . Contrast is an attention-grabbing method which can turn an okay photo into a dazzling masterpiece .

There are two forms of contrast which is tonal contrast and colour contrast . Both can produce outstanding results . With both forms , high contrast will create a vibrant , solid and loud image that will steal the attention of the viewer . Low contrast will produce a warm and soft image , creating a soothing or mellow image .

So , a pictures without contrast , its like watching movies without popcorn . By the way , enjoy the picture above . I captured this photo during a photography class at Bahau , Negeri Sembilan , Malaysia . The lecturer was a Malaysian profesional well known photographer , Md Noh Jalaluddin .
