Anybody can shoot a snapshot. But is it a good photograph?

Kenapa tiba-tiba cakap pasal photograph ni?

Sebab...

... Yasmin has got herself a ...





... Nikon D7000 (16.2 megapixel digital single-lens reflex camera (DSLR), sempena joining Photography for her final year semester. Excitednya dia !!! Tak sabar-sabar nak start lessons next week! Equally excited is her younger brother, Firdaus, who is back for the weekend. (Mama pun excited jugak, pepagi hari dah google cari tutorials for beginners and sibuk membaca !)

We look at things everyday tapi apa yang kita nampak tak seperti apa yang dilihat oleh the ‘eye’ behind a camera in producing an image. Nampak macam senang jer snapshooting away tapi sebenarnya a huge amount of work goes into deciding what composition gets included or excluded in the photo to be taken... the lightings... the positions... colors.... time of day and dozens of other artistic elements to acquire the perfect photograph. Itu sebab Photography is not only an art, but also a skill.

Itu belum lagi cerita nak pegi cari lokasi-lokasi yang menarik for the shoots, dan kemudian hauling a load of equipment dan sebagainya. (tapi tak per... not so soon for my Yasmin!)

I hope ‘Uncle Wan’ (En. Ridzuan Ismail) will be a big inspirational mentor to her while she slowly finds and create a talent in Photography.

Semoga dengan menyertai Photography, she will have a new set of photography friends at her level to chat, learn and grow in sharing knowledge together, insyaAllah, sebab peers can come in handy when you need someone for a quick advice or information.

Perhaps later, kalau rajin, boleh create a blog to share knowledge and post photographs. (Kalau rajin laaa... )
