50mm, What you only need in Photography..

Have you ever cover an event using only one prime lens, 50mm lens?

I was at this celebration near my place when i took this photo. I had my camera and 50mm lens.
50mm got me to zoom in and out with my legs, It brought me so close to the performer that I could feel the heat and smell that burn.

I have learnt a lot using 50mm, it teaches me where to stand, go closer, be friendly towards people.

I like the expressions of the people watching the performance, the expressions of the two kids (on the left) were priceless..

Something We photographers can use in Life..

"To see the World, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel.

That is the purpose of Life.."

-Life Magazine-

Life..

Life is like a Camera.
Focus on the important things,
Capture the good times,
Develop from negatives,
Always look for colours,
If things don't turn out what you wanted..

Better Compostion..

I have people asking me how to take good photos, so I thought why no have past on it.

Beside the three fundamentals of photography: ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed, having a great composition in your photos are also very important.

As a lots of you do read on photography books, you will know on of the most common rule in them are the "Rule of the Thirds". This is helpful as it allows space around your subject, and "Allow Space Around Your Subject" is also something that makes your photo even better.

One thing you must remember is to try "Achieve Balance in a Composition" when coming to a landscape. So when you are composing a landscape photo next time: "Take Your Time", set the tripod, look though the finder,  balance you composing! then click the shutter. For landscape photography, its important that "Lead the eye of the viewer into the picture". So, if you come across a gate in the farm not closed, stop and take a picture. Do remember use the "Rule of third" in this exposure too.

Our human eyes likes to see things that are well balance, so you must try this "Symmetrical Composition". This would be something like the temple door, door fame or even while shooting micro, ie. side view of a flower.

"Colour? I am often asked: 'Why do you photograph in black and white? The world is in colour!' Precisely, it is because the world is in colour that i choose to represent it in black and white: i do not describe reality, but aim to transcend it. My work is highly subjective."
